DayDream Minimonitor is a two way compact speaker.

DayDream Minimonitor is a bass-reflex cabinet loudspeaker with drivers of TECTONIC and Dayton Audio.

The kit is delivered with the following drivers:
- a TECTONIC TEBM46C20N-4B full range driver
- a Dayton Audio RS125-4 woofer

The loudspeaker has been developed by Bernd Timmermanns.

The crossover consists of:
- a 2nd order high-pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) for the full range driver.
- a 2nd order low-pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) for the woofer.

The frequency response of this speaker is nearly linear.

The decay spectrum is nearly perfect.

At medium volume, i.e. 90 dB at 1 m, the nonlinear distortions are below 1,2% above 200 Hz.

Our kit consists of

The mounting ring for the tweeter must be made by yourself and is not included in the kit.

Kit with high-end crossover

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 TECTONIC TEBM46C20N-4B are of type polypropylen (MKP) Audaphon MKP CAP Superior 400 V.

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).

  • Mundorf, electrolytic capacitor, etched, 56 μF/100 Vdc
  • ceramic resistor 5.6 Ohm/20 Watt

Price per impedance correction for one speaker, to be mounted on a small wooden board.     EUR 5,12 excl. VAT: € 4.30 / $ 4.69

universal PCB

If you prefer to mount the crossover components on a 159 x 127 mm universal PCB instead on wood:
Universal PCB RA160, order no.. str-RA160, price per unit:   EUR 5,90 excl. VAT: € 4.96 / $ 5.40
We recommend one board per kit (two boards for a speaker pair)
