The drivers in the satellites are arranged to project the sound upwards. Two specially shaped cones reflect the sound according to specific patterns to ensure that the sound is distributed horizontally and uniformly in all directions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCharacteristics and sound properties\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mid-bass unit is the AL 130 M 8 Ohm, and the tweeter range is covered by the DT 94 8 Ohm.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This diffused sound distribution means that the impressive spatial effect is virtually uniform all round the room. Virtual sound sources, for example the voices or instruments that appear between the speakers, can be clearly and precisely located. The depth of colour of the sound remains the same at any seating position in the whole room. Ideally, the satellites should be positioned 0.5 m to 1 m away from a wall and on a base or stand. The cones should then be at ear level or slightly below.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The passive subwoofer cabinet has been designed to match the satellites and is fitted with the GF 200 2 x 4 Ohm double voice-coil woofer; resulting in powerful, highly dynamic bass reproduction from this high-end driver.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The FONTANELLA system provides a high level of listening pleasure as a hifi stereo system but is also extremely well suited to use as the rear effect channel in home-video systems. In such cases, the subwoofer is not required and the two satellites are used alone.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Speaker stands: Spikes - 4 piece\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eSimilar products\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e FONTANA\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConstruction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The FONTANELLA satellite cabinet consists of 8 side pieces 16 mm thick with bevels and a base and top both octagonal and made of 19 mm material.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e First, cut out the openings in the base and top.

The crossover is part of the terminal unit and is fitted to the base.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The upper part of this speaker system consists of a large cone over the mid-bass unit and a smaller one over the tweeter. The large cone is connected to the bass cabinet via the four brass brackets at the connection points. Two of these brackets are simultaneously used as signal carriers to the tweeter, which itself is integrated in the large cone. The small tweeter cone is stuck onto the diffuser of the tweeter. Once the upper part has been completed, and the tweeter has been connected up to the right connections (look for the solder points), the cabinet is completed by attaching the upper part.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The kit contains all the components marked as \"essential components\".
