LEGACY PRODUCT

OVAL B1
The B1 floor standing model incorporates four drivers in a 3 & 1/2 way system. B1 employs a single D50 mid- range between 900Hz and 4 kHz with the range beyond being handled by a D26 tweeter. Below 900Hz the B1 uses two C125 midbass drivers, one mounted on the front baffle and one on the rear baffle of the cabinet.
B1’s closest successor is Kaya 45

These two drivers are internally coupled via a screw tensioning unit for reaction cancelling. Both drivers receive the same signal at frequencies below 100Hz while above this point the drive to the rear is progressively attenuated leaving only the front driver to operate all the way to 900Hz in order to keep the distance between drivers at a minimum around crossover. Fourth order filters ensure phase coherence through both main crossover points resulting in a seamless and symmetrical polar performance.
