Audio Pro B2-5Q

The combination of straight frequency time down to 20 Hz and capacity to high sound pressures with low distorsion does that Subwoof ern is entire without competition. Corresponding performance does not go to achieve to be itself with conventional methods or with other active methods, since these does not function together with basreflexlådor.

A COMPLETE BASSYSTEM to use subwoofers is quite new in Europe, but in USA has the occurred in several years. Those speakers that exist do not come however in the vicinity of B2-50 ' s performance. Moreover has early subwoofers, apart from the actual speaker, often required additional effect an amplifier and separate division a filter. The has given costly and clumsy systems as not always functioned that one desired itself.

B2-50 Subwoofer solves also these problems. Both an effect amplifier on 80 Woch an a lot of flexible electronic division filter exists integrated. Delningsfiltret does that Subwoofern can work fairly together with side which system as entire pcs.

You can part's adapt Subwooferns sound volume to side system even, part's to determine how far up in the frequency Subwoofern will work. Moreover, you can cut of the low basis in the side systems, since the most often is irregular in frequency past and has high distorsion.

Subwoofern is connected just rightest between preamps and effect stages. Goes the not to detach them in your plant so can Subwoofern also is connected to the common högtalarutgångarna.

ÖVERLÄGSNA PERFORMANCE Audio Pro B2-50 Subwoofer has two paragraphs specialgjorda högtalarelement with big magnet and extreme long stroke, ±9 mm. Through doing a basreflexsystem, as been optimized with help avACE-Bass-metoden, so needs the elements not to last bigly than 6,5 inch!

B2-50 Subwoofer has straight frequency curve bottom down to 20 Hz and the can cause high sound a lot of pressures.

The unique subwoofern.

The unite högtalarelementet is turned bak- och - forward (the electrical connection has of course also been turned). The means that the to unite the element “threads”, concurrent that the other “shoots”, whereupon a big part of distorsionen släcks out. Along with ACE-Bass-metoden that additional decreases distorsionen, gives this Subwoof ern unique good distorsionsdata, also at low frequencies and high sound pressures.

That we achieved all this with net carton a volume on only 50 liters are a performance that does Subwoofern still more unique.

MANY FINESSES B2-50 Subwoofer is a worked through and precise uttestad structure with many finesses.

The sophisticated integrated end the stage has among other thing active mjukklippning, which means that you not sheep some interfered bee sounds if you willed run the system over its ability (överstyra the).

A special filter in the amplifier limits högtalarelementens konutslag during 20 Hz.

Special weight has to be placed at formulation of the carton and basreflexröret - that ends in botten - för att entire to eliminate blås- och murmur sound even at the low frequencies and the high sound the pressures.

That the does not go to do systems that B2-50 Subwoofer with conventional methods has we already mentioned, but the exists of course other active methods than ACE-Bass, for example re-engage systems as MFB or servosystem. These can however only be used along with closed cartons, which sets almost unreasonable requirements on högtalarelement and förstärkareffekt. Systems that only increase frequency huddling used to in the basis and in this way utsträcker the frequency area exists also. Distorsionen becomes however an easy problem in such systems and the is sensitive for discrepancies in the natural frequency the curve.

ACE-Bass is widelily divided from the above methods and functions excellentlily both with basreflexlådor and closed cartons.

A speaker's properties are decided to a large extent of högtalarelementens mechanical parameters. Since these is checked through ACE-Bass so can one few both straight frequency time and low distorsion, concurrent as the system becomes okänsligt for variations at högtalarelementen.

ACE-Bass was presented of cold Ståhl at Audio Engineering Societys 61:a konvent in New york in November 1978. If you want to can you few a copy of preferred (on English) from 3Dgruppen ab.

LITTLE HÖGTALARTEORI in order to explain how the method functions must we first go through little högtalarteori.

A speaker's electrical impedance is shown in character 1.

Högtalarelementets the cow and number bobbin has a certain weight, the so the called oscillated mass Mm. The sexes' upphängning has a certain fjädring cms and moderation Rm. These mechanical parameters give parallellreso-nanskretsen, where A is the element's force factor (also called Bl-faktör).

We can in fig 1 see that the mechanical parameters influence the electrical impedance. With ACE-Bass does we tvärtom - vi influences the mechanical parameters through the amplifier's electrical utimpe-dans.

We can also consider högtalarsystemet from the mechanical side and may then the ekvivalenta the schedule in fig 2.

Fig 2. Equivalent schedule for a högtalarsystem seen from the mechanical side.

Tune you is not misleaded of that the mechanical components here be represented with electrical symbols. The depends only on that the is easy to draw these.

F is that force that to be brought forth of the amplifier's ut-spänning U and Ru is the amplifier's utresistans.

We can here see that apart from the true moderation Rm exists an additional “electrical” moderation

.Normalt is the amplifier's utresistans Ru~0, but through doing the barrel organ or negative can one to give the total moderation a rather arbitrary value. This is old well-known technology that in certain case has been used early. The new with ACE-Bass is that we on similar way also can to determine the oscillated mass and fjädringen.

Fig 3b. ACE-Bass amplifiers.

ACE-Bass the amplifier comprizes a negative resistans Rs, new parallel a circuit and a driven power generator instead for excitement generator.

Then we mesh ACE-Bass the amplifier in fig 3b with the speaker in fig 1, may we the schedule in fig 4. Since the amplifier's negative utresistans takes out talspoleresistansen so ends up the new parallel the circuit - comprizing CP, RP and LP - analog with the old as being given of högtalarelementets true mechanical parameters.

Fig5. Equivalent schedule for ACE-Bass, seen from the mechanical side.

Sees we same system from the mechanical side sheep we in the schedule in fig 5, that will be compared with the conventional system in fig 2. We find then that the total oscillated mass has ökat with A2CP and the moderation with AVRP and that fjädringen become rigid through Lr/A2. Through choosing CP/RP and LP in the amplifier's end impedance on appropriate way can we therefore few those mechanical parameters that we desire.

These rail only mechanical parameters that we achieve through ACE-Bass the amplifier's ut-impedans is actual so apparent that about a mekanist

ACE-BASS THE AMPLIFIER ACE-Bass the amplifier according to fig 3b must be done with special methods, among other thing because negative resistanser does not exist as components. A good way to do the amplifier on being shown in fig 6.

The power through the speaker feels of with R and the positive återkopplingen about the effect amplifier gives the negative resistansen while the negative återkopplingen about the band passport filter gives the parallel circuit.

ACE-BASS in B2-50 SUBWOOFER in B2-50 Subwoofer uses we ACE-Bass in order to do basis a system with straight frequency time down to 20 Hz with least 100 dBspl out. We want to moreover to have moderate carton size and förstärkareffekt and low distorsion. In order to achieve this has we done a 6:e the order's Butterworth-system. The means that the speaker is a basreflexsystem - as here been optimized with ACE-Bass - and that a 12 dB/oktav filters exist in the amplifier in order to decrease högtalarelementens konutslag during 20 Hz.

This optimum systems do that we can to fulfil the lined up, hard, the requirements with two specialgjorda 6,5 " högtalarelement.

For these elements, we have through ACE-Bass reversed the oscillated massan - för both elements tillsammans - från 38 to 260 g, the moderation from 25 to 56 kg/s and f jädringen from 0,45 to 0,25 mm/N.

Such values can one not give the true mechanical parameters and although one could the so willed the effectiveness become unacceptableily low.

LOW DISTORSION that we already mentioned gives ACE-Bass low distorsion. The depends on that the through ACE-Bass syntetiserade the mechanical parameters are more linear than the true parameters. Of course more the syntetiserade the parameters dominate over the true, the low distorsion may one. In B2-50 Subwoofer has we a select solution where the syntetiserade the parameters considerable dominates the true and Subwoofern has therefore extremelily low distorsion. Moreover, the system becomes through this solution okänsligt for variations in the true mechanical parameters.
