This makes the units suitable for smaller rooms where the larger version would be too physically overpowering or the bass too powerful.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With a net volume of 50 litres, it is essential to have an internal resonance absorber as with the SOLO 100 owing to the Q-factor of the B 200 6 Ohm. This can also be used to fine-tune the bass reflex. The lower limiting frequency is not as low as with the SOLO 100 but is certainly sufficient for small to medium-sized rooms. The absorber must be carefully damped again.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The correcting circuitry is designed by analogy to the SOLO 100. If you replace the 15 ohm resistance with a 22 ohm, the increase in high-frequency frequency response will be eliminated and the result as measured in the measuring room was a well-balanced spectrum. Listening tests showed, however, that, as a result of the beaming effect of this wide-range speaker, a slight increase is beneficial in most listening environments\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eConstruction\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e We suggest two alternative cabinets: 1) simple cabinet with narrow chamfers on the sides 2) more sophisticated design with a ring round the B 200. Acoustically, there is hardly likely to be any difference. The second alternative is much more complex to build, though.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The base is screwed onto a frame and not glued, to enable you to fit the bass reflex tube.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eInner damping\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Four mats of damping material are arranged as shown (see drawing).

Installation and cabinet guidance

Build each cabinet from the linked manufacturer construction drawing and cabinet parts list. The documented outside size is 900 mm × 260 mm × 300 mm (H × W × D); the specified cabinet principle is Bass-reflex with 50 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.
