SEAS A26 on 2-tie rakennussarja, joka koostuu 10" paperikartioisesta bassoelementistä ja 35mm tekstiilikalottidiskantista kompaktissa 28litran kotelossa. Huippulaadukkaiden elementtien ansiosta kaiuttimen jakosuotimessa on vain 2 komponenttia. Tämä onkin 2-tie kaiutin hyvin lähellä suosittuja 2-tiekaiuttimia yhdistäen niiden parhaat puolet. Legendan jalanjälillä A26 kaiuttimen suunnittelun lähtökohtana ja innoittajana on ollut legendaarinen Dynaco A25 kaiutin, joka esiteltiin jo vuonna 1969. A25 oli Seasin suunnittelema ja valmistama kaiutin joka on edelleen yksi kaikkien aikojen suosituimmista kaiuttimista, sitä myytiin yli miljoona kappaletta. Ottaen huomioon vielä aikakauden niin saavutus on käsittämättömän kova, kuten kaiutinkin! Todellinen high-end kaiutin nyt ja 40vuotta sitten.. J. Gordon Holt, Stereophile Magazinen perustaja totesi A25 kaiuttimista: “You will have a hard time buying more musical naturalness at any price… (the A-25s) are quite probably the best buy in high fidelity today.” Selostusta Lontoon kielellä The drivers for the A26 have been designed to closely match the characteristics of the original A25 drivers, while adding the advantages of modern production techniques and materials. The important tonal qualities of the original drivers have been retained, while parameters like power handling, consistency, and durability have been vastly improved. A26RE4 Woofer The A26RE4 uses a classic, uncoated paper cone and matched natural rubber surround. It produces a smooth response up into the critical midrange, while keeping resonances to a minimum. This membrane together with a four-layer voice coil contributes to a very well controlled roll off characteristic. T35C002 Tweeter The T35C002 is a new dome midrange/tweeter designed in the tradition of the classic 1.5" H087 tweeter, first offered by SEAS in 1968. A coated fabric dome with integral surround, manufactured by Dr. Kurt Müller Gmbh in Germany ensures excellent performance and consistency. The magnet system, based on a powerful neodymium ring magnet contributes to the exceptionally high sensitivity and low distortion of the T35C002. The Crossover The crossover closely follows the original A25 design, and is a model of simplicity. The use of linear drivers with complementary roll off characteristics allows for excellent performance without the need for complex filter networks. The well behaved roll off of the woofer?s paper cone, aided by the four layer voice coil, allows it to be connected directly to the amplifier, just as in the original. The tweeter is easily matched to the woofer using a first order network; consisting of a single capacitor (3.3µF), along with a series resistor (10?) for level matching. The resistor value can be adjusted to fine tune the tweeter level (12, 10 or 8.2?). The Enclosure Design and Stuffing The SEAS A26 loudspeaker is based on a 28-liter cabinet. Position of the drivers and dimensions of the cabinet walls and vent opening are all very similar to those of the original Dynaco A25. For best performance, these dimensions should be followed closely. Adding internal bracing to stiffen the cabinet is a good idea for the advanced builder, and will further enhance the performance. The cabinet stuffing (50g) is distributed evenly inside the box. The highly damped vent acts as an acoustic resistor, resulting in a non-resonant (aperiodic) system. The quantity of polyfill stuffing used in the vent is 12 grams. We suggest mounting a piece of screening material over both sides of the vent to hold the stuffing in place. Decreasing the vent stuffing will improve the time response of the bass system, but will lower the bass output due to the lowered Q. If, on the contrary, more polyfill stuffing is used, the enclosure will behave closer to a sealed box and a higher Q will be obtained. However, the time response will be slightly deteriorated. We find 12 grams of polyfill to achieve the best balance between the time and frequency performance of the bass system. This amount of stuffing is based on measurements and extensive listening tests. The result is a smooth, yet detailed reproduction where the entire frequency range is in balance. We encourage you to follow the above guidelines, but you may also try experimenting with the stuffing quantities yourself, to achieve your preferred bass performance. Measurement results A sound pressure frequency response measured in an acoustically controlled listening room is shown. The sound pressure is a healthy 88 dB SPL for 2.83 Volts/1 metre (1 Watt nominal input). Listening Room and Placement High quality stands should be used to bring the tweeter approximately to ear level or slightly above. Even in the best listening room, it is important to determine the positions where the loudspeakers will perform optimally. Placing the cabinets too close to the walls or corners will result in more powerful bass, but may also cause response irregularities in the bass/midrange area. Some experimentation is recommended in order to find cabinet positions that result in a good tonal balance and freedom from coloration. The tweeter diaphragm is relatively large for sensitivity reasons. Consequently, the highest frequencies are more directional, making it worthwhile to experiment with toe-in of the enclosures towards the listening position. The SEAS A26 is a refined, yet simple and fun loudspeaker, meant for enjoying your music to its fullest! Rakennussarja sisältää osat yhteen kaiuttimeen.
