Akerselva MK2 is a 3 way high-end floorstanding speaker with coaxial driver and four woofers.

In the kit the Seas Excel C18EN002/A coaxial driver is working in the mid and high frequency range. Four woofers of type Wavecor SW182BD03 in a closed cabinet provide a powerful and precise bass reproduction.

Akerselva MK2 has been developed by Daniel Gattig and Dennis Frank.

The crossover consists of a 2nd order high-pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) for the tweeter, a bandpass filter consisting of a high and low pass filter of second and third order with an voltage divider for the midrange and a second order low pass filter with parallel RCL circuit to reduce the impedance peak for the woofer.

Between 40 Hz and 18000 Hz, the frequency response of this loudspeaker is very linear on axis. The decay spectrum is nearly perfect. At low volume, i.e. 85 dB at 1 m, the nonlinear distortions are lower than 0.6% above 500 Hz and mostly below 1% at 95 dB at 1 m .

Our kit consists of

  • Seas Excel coaxial driver C18EN002/A (E0060-08/06S)
  • 4x Wavecor Subwoofer SW182BD03, die cast, 4 Ohm
  • 2x Damping fleece MT Bondum 800 (30 x 50 x 2 cm)
  • 5x Damping Sonofil 100 x 35 cm for 20 litres
  • Binding Post PK31, gold plated (one pair, red and black)
  • 4m Speaker cable 2x1.5 mm2 black/red
  • 3x Pan screws 3.5x17 black, 8 pieces

Kit with high-end crossover

The high-end kit is delivered with baked varnish air core coils and copper foil coils for minimizing microphonic effects. - The current flow through the coil creates a magnetic field which sets the reel of wire in motion. This motion induces a voltage in the coil which adds itself to the signal. The stiffer the reel of wire is, the less the signal will be altered. All capacitors in series to the drivers are of type polypropylen (MKP). In series to the tweeter Clarity-Cap MR 630 V and CSA 630 V are employed.

Impedance correction

If you want to use a valve amplifier with this speaker an impedance correction should be employed. In this case the component quality is less important; therefore, we offer only one kit (upon request higher quality components are available).


Price per impedance correction for one speaker, to be mounted on a small wooden board.     EUR 8,10 excl. VAT: € 6.81 / $ 7.42

universal PCBs

If you prefer to mount the crossover components on a universal PCB instead on wood
PCB 150x115 mm, tin plated, price per unit:   EUR 4,70 excl. VAT: € 3.95 / $ 4.31
We recommend four boards per kit (8 boards per speaker pair)
