The electric separation between the two drivers is low enough (250 Hz), which enables the full-range speaker to make full use of its capabilities and the BGS 40 8 Ohm is effectively the supporting woofer. The BGS 40 8 Ohm is a musician's driver with high sensitivity and can, as a result, easily be adapted to the B 200 6 Ohm without giving anything away in terms of mean sound pressure. \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tDespite the baffle being open, which theoretically causes an acoustic short circuit in the bass range, the system produces a dynamic low bass output down to 32 Hz (-10 dB). One reason for this is that the baffle is cut off from the floor and so no acoustic short circuit can take place in this direction. In addition, the side panels of the cabinet, which are mainly for stability, increase the acoustic distance travelled\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cb\u003eSimilar products \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tQUADRO SOLITUDE \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSOLO 100 SOLO 20 \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tSOLO 50 SOLO Eckbox \u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cb\u003eConstruction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe panels are cut to size and glued together as shown in the drawing.
