Klang + Ton 1960   Floorstanding as in K+T 1/2023

Technical data
  • impedance: 6 Ohm
  • sensivity (2,83V/1m): 84 dB
  • size (HxWxD): 1050 x 194 x 320 mm
  • frequency range (-8dB): 50 - 40000 Hz
  • crossover frequency(s): 2100 Hz
  • speaker type: bass reflex

Klang + Ton 1960 is a two and a half way floorstanding speaker.

Klang + Ton 1960 is a bass-reflex cabinet loudspeaker with drivers of Monacor .

The kit is delivered with the following drivers:
- a Monacor DT-19SU tweeter
- a Monacor SP-60/8 midrange / bass driver
- a Monacor SP-60/8 woofer

The loudspeaker has been developed by Michael Rochow and Thomas Schmidt.

The crossover consists of:
- a 2nd order high-pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) for the tweeter.
- a 2nd order low-pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) for the mids-woofer.
- a first order low-pass filter (6 dB per octave slope) for the woofer.

The frequency response of this speaker is nearly linear.

The decay spectrum is nearly perfect.

At low volume, i.e. 85 dB at 1 m, the nonlinear distortions are below 0,7% above 200 Hz and doesn't exceed 1,4% at 95 dB at 1 m between 300 and 15000 Hz.

There is an error in the Klang + Ton, the tweeter used is the Monacor DT-19SU, not the Monacor DT-100

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 Monacor DT-19SU are of type polypropylen (MKP) Clarity-Cap ESA 250 V.

  • ClarityCap ESA capacitor 5.6 μF / 250 Vdc
  • Audaphon MKP CAP Superior 5.6 μF / 400 Vdc
  • Mundorf baked varnish air core coil BL71, 0.22 mH/0.34 Ohm
  • Mundorf baked varnish air core coil BL100, 1.5 mH/0.62 Ohm
  • Mundorf H core baked varnish coil BH71, 18 mH/1.28 0hm
  • Metal-oxide resistor, 10W 6.8 Ohm (blue-grey-gold)

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).

  • JB, electrolytic capacitor, bipolar advanced, 15μF / 50 Vdc
  • 0.7 mm air core coil, 0.68 mH/0.70 Ohm
  • ceramic resistor 15 Ohm/20 Watt

Price per impedance correction for one speaker, to be mounted on a small wooden board.     EUR 9,10 excl. VAT: € 7.65 / $ 8.26

universal PCB

If you prefer to mount the crossover components on a 140 x 102 mm universal PCB instead on wood:
Universal PCB RA140, order no.. str-RA140, price per unit:   EUR 4,20 excl. VAT: € 3.53 / $ 3.81
We recommend one board per kit (two boards for a speaker pair)
