To guarantee balanced overall sound quality using these less-expensive drivers, the two mid-bass units are physically separated from each other and each has its own enclosure. The lower WS 17 E 8 Ohm is mounted in a 36-litre compartment. This produces a uniform increase in the frequency response from 60 Hz up to 600 Hz. The upper WS 17 E 8 Ohm, on the other hand, is mounted in a smaller 16-litre compartment, which causes a slight increase in the range of frequencies between 60 Hz and 150 Hz. However, taken jointly, the two mid-bass units create a harmonious bass foundation which deliberately emphasises the frequencies between 60 Hz and 130 Hz. To ensure a seamless transition between the tweeter and the bass drivers, you need a properly balanced damping circuit to cut out any unwanted peaks and resonance. The result of this unusual combination of drivers and cabinet is a column speaker that has to be seen and heard to be believed and one which produces a sound quality well above its moderate price range.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cimg align=\"bottom\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visaton.com\/bilder\/explosion\/gross\/clou_ex.jpg\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cimg align=\"bottom\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visaton.com\/bilder\/zeichnungen\/gross\/clou_tz.gif\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cimg align=\"bottom\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visaton.com\/bilder\/weichen\/gross\/clou_w.gif\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cimg align=\"bottom\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/www.visaton.com\/bilder\/frequenz\/gross\/clou_fs.gif\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ctable bgcolor=\"#000000\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"1\" width=\"100%\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\t\t\u003ctr bgcolor=\"#0083C7\"\u003e\r\n\t\t\t\u003ctd style=\"font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
