The mere shape and the drivers used give an idea of its qualities. The tailored baffle in the medium to high-frequency range produces optimised omnidirectional sound distribution one of the reasons why the sound distribution throughout the room is so smooth. Arranging all the drivers according to the d Appolito principle, reduces interference from floor and ceiling reflection. Two AL 200 8 Ohm aluminium bass drivers join forces to produce profound and yet precise bass reproduction thanks to the extra-large, flow-optimised bass reflex tube. The two AL 130 8 Ohm mid-range speakers guarantee crisp mid-range sounds as a result of their stiff cones, long stroke and impedance control ring.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tAt the top end of the frequency range we have used the innovative KE 25 SC 8 Ohm ceramic tweeter, which has been incorporated using a sophisticated crossaver arrangement to optimise timing. This sophisticated design of tweeter can be wired up to blend in from a very low level and, as with all the other drivers, produces extremely distortion-free sound even at high volume settings. Any defects in the source signal are laid wide open. Even at louder settings, listening to music remains a real pleasure. This is always a good sign that the baffle is working correctly and that nothing is being smuggled in that should not be there.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tIn the MK II version, a slight adjustment in the mid-range section of the crossover has enhanced the crossover range between the mid-range and tweeter.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe completely neutral tonality and the remarkable dynamic characteristics of this stand-up CONCORDE MK II cabinet make it an all-round talent for discerning listeners of all types of music.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tWarning: This loudspeaker is as honest as they come and conceals nothing!\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cb\u003eExtract from Klang \u0026amp; Ton\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\"In terms of sound quality, the Concorde was an immediate success. It is a universally applicable speaker and reproduces all kinds of music without particular preferences. It sounds the way all very good speakers sound. If the recording is boring, the reproduction is also boring and where the recording is very good, reproduction is excellent. Details come across extremely well and in a lively manner, the stage can be seen in your mind's eye in about the right proportions.

Particular attention must be paid to the front panel, because the first thing here is to apply the 45° chamfers. We recommend cutting and finishing the openings for the drivers before the cabinet is assembled. The cabinet can now be glued together. Ensure that the mid-range surround is tight against the front and side panels so that no join is visible later.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tOnce the glue has dried, the 45° chamfer is extended onto the side panels. This must be done extremely carefully so that none of the edges break out. The best way to finish of the chamfers is to sand them. Drill three 8 mm holes in the rear wall of the mid-range section for the cables. Ensure that the holes are well sealed again when the cables are in position.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe crossover is divided across two circuit boards.

Installation and cabinet guidance

Build each cabinet from the linked manufacturer construction drawing and cabinet parts list. The documented outside size is 1300 mm × 270 mm × 400 mm (H × W × D); the specified cabinet principle is Bass-reflex with 92 l + 6 l net volume. Preserve the published driver, port, bracing and crossover positions.

The manufacturer states its component and cabinet parts lists for one box. Sold as: Pair. The kit excludes the cabinet; confirm component quantities against the ordered sales unit before starting the build.

Keep the bass-reflex opening and the space immediately around it clear where the construction instructions require it.
