Fontanella SUB

Art. No. 5938

Characteristics - Sound Properties

The FONTANELLA subwoofer satellite system is both visually and acoustically a completely new experience. 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.

The mid-bass unit is the AL 130 M 8 Ohm, and the tweeter range is covered by the DT 94 8 Ohm.

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.

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.

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.

Construction

The subwoofer is built in the same way as the satellite. The bass reflex tube and the terminal unit are mounted on the rear wall. The woofer is mounted in the base faces downwards. For this reason, it is essential to ensure that the cabinet is mounted on feet at least 2 cm high. We recommend spikes.

Inner damping

The subwoofer is damped with 7 mats.
