The AL 170 8 Ohm woofer in the closed 10.5-l case provides for a kick and exact bass which works well and without booming by mounting on a wall. This was reached by a slightly rising frequency response to about 1000 Hz, so that the BIJOU 170 should be used preferentially as a wall or shelf-mounted speaker.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tIn this duet the high tone reproduction takes over the also well known ceramic tweeter KE 25 SC 8 Ohm which is extremely rich in detail and exact in work.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe BIJOU 170 is available as single version and can be used therefore e.g. as a centre speaker, but, of course, also as a front and effect loudspeaker in home cinema systems, supported by an additional Subwoofer.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \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\t100 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\t70 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\t8 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\t50–20000 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\t85 dB (1 W\/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\t3200 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\t10,5 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\t360 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\t240 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\t200 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\/bijou170_fs.gif\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e", "published_at":"2018-10-11T14:59:01", "created_at":"2018-10-11T14:59:02", "vendor":"Visaton", "type":"Visaton -
