Large full-range loudspeakers like the B 200 have the additional characteristic of transmitting the sound in a tightly bundled beam, which produces a very tangible, three-dimensional effect and allows individual instruments to be easily located. A drawback of the system, however, is that this beaming process and the sensitivity are reduced at lower frequencies. The PENTATON BB was developed specifically as a cabinet based on the legendary B 200 but designed to compensate for these two disadvantages.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tIn a similar way to the QUADRO, additional full-range drivers are switched in to supplement the central driver, which is connected direct to the amplifier without an intervening filter, as the frequencies go down the scale. This allows the B 200 to develop its full potential with none of the impairments caused by frequency-dependent signal-carrying components, while the BG 20s, that are optimised for low-frequency response, maintain the extremely high sensitivity and beaming effect right down to the bass range. The additional full-range drivers are arranged symmetrically in two groups around the main speaker, which again creates an acoustic focus in the centre of the speaker cabinet. On top of this, the baffles in enclosures 2 and 4 and in enclosures 1 and 5 are angled inwards by 6° and 12° respectively. This feature guarantees that, assuming a typical listening distance of approx. 3 m, each of the drivers is exactly the same distance away from the ear and at the same angle. Given the size of these speaker cabinets, this is the only way to ensure that the phases of all the drivers are in sync across the entire frequency range.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe result of all these characteristics taken together is a sound image of the stage that could hardly be clearer or more precise. Even baritone male voices and large instruments such as the double bass or bassoon appear to be present full-size, in the right place on the virtual stage and in tangible 3D. Thanks to the enormous diaphragm area and the low moving mass, the PENTATON BB transforms dynamic jumps in the recording decisively and seamlessly into sound pressure and, with its superior handling, encourages the listener to increase the volume level until it is physically felt and yet it never becomes obtrusive or laboured.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tAnd yet, this is definitely a speaker for connoisseurs of lower volumes. Even at low output levels, the overall sound quality is tangible and mature so that every tiny musical detail, however small, is projected audibly without the slightest distortion. The frequency response is remarkably linear for a loudspeaker of this kind, which is why the PENTATON BB is ideal for the authentic reproduction of every genre of music without restriction and will allow the listener to rediscover even old favourites thanks to its analytical and highly detailed approach.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThanks to its high sensitivity and uniform impedance curve, the PENTATON BB is predestined for use in connection with high-grade tube amplifiers with relatively low output wattages.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ctable border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"2\" cellspacing=\"1\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr class=\"techdat\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003cth colspan=\"2\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\tTechnical Data:\u003c\/th\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr class=\"techdat\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\tRated power\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"right\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t200 W\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr class=\"techdat\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\tMaximum power\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"right\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t350 W\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr class=\"techdat\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\tNominal impedance Z\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"right\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t4 Ohm\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr class=\"techdat\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\tFrequency response\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"right\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t40-18000 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr class=\"techdat\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\tMean sound pressure level\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"right\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t99 dB (2,83 V\/1 m)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr class=\"techdat\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\tCut-off frequency\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"right\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t1600 Hz \/ 9500 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr class=\"techdat\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\tPrinciple of Housing\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"right\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\tgeschlossen \/ closed\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr class=\"techdat\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\tNet volume\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"right\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t200 l (38 l + 2 x 39 l + 2 x 42 l)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr class=\"techdat\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\tOuter dimension height\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"right\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t1557 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr class=\"techdat\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\tOuter dimension width\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"right\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\t315 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr class=\"techdat\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"left\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\tOuter dimension depth\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd align=\"right\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\tmax. 634 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\t\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visaton.com\/bilder\/frequenz\/gross\/PentatonBB_fs.gif\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n", "published_at":"2018-10-11T14:58:56", "created_at":"2018-10-11T14:58:56", "vendor":"vendor-unknown", "type":"Visaton -
