The 34 litre bass reflex cabinet produces a remarkably deep lower limiting frequency of only 25 Hz, but maintains its powerful, precise bass reproduction. The reason for this is the subwoofer AL 170 8 Ohm with its rear-vented spider and its long cone strokes. The flow optimised bass reflex tube BR 25.50 is mounted at the rear of the cabinet to present the most ideal optical appearance, but can, if the cabinets are to be set close to a wall (closer than 10 cm), be moved to the front without any loss in quality.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe two 1 µF capacitors in conjunction with the 2.2 mH coil form a blocking circuit that effectively suppresses the resonance in the aluminium diaphragm generated typically by that material.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\tThe VIB 170 AL is a compact speaker with well-balanced sound quality and clean-cut bass and impulse fidelity, providing excellent dynamic properties for a speaker of this size.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp style=\"TEXT-ALIGN: justify\"\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;
