Arve is a two way compact speaker.
Arve is a bass-reflex cabinet loudspeaker with drivers of Audaphon and Wavecor.
The kit is delivered with the following drivers: - a Audaphon AMT-1i air motion transformer - a Wavecor WF182BD15 woofer
The loudspeaker has been developed by Daniel Gattig and Dennis Frank.
The crossover consists of: - a 3rd order high-pass filter (18 dB per octave slope) for the tweeter. - a 2nd order low-pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) for the woofer.
The frequency response of this speaker is perfectly linear.
The decay spectrum is perfect.
At low volume, i.e. 85 dB at 1 m, the nonlinear distortions are below 0,5% above 400 Hz and doesn't exceed 0,7% at 95 dB at 1 m between 300 and 15000 Hz.

Kit without cabinet, price per speaker EUR 993,00 excl. VAT: € 834.45 / $ 909.55
The high-end kit is delivered with baked varnish air core coils on important parts of the crossover 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. The capacitors for the Audaphon AMT-1i are of type polypropylen (MKP) Mundorf MCAP EVO Silber Gold Öl 450 V.
Kit with high-end-crossover without cabinet, price per speaker EUR 1129,00 excl. VAT: € 948.74 / $ 1034.13
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 14,40 excl. VAT: € 12.10 / $ 13.19
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 one board per kit (2 boards per speaker pair)
