Libertas is a two way floorstanding speaker.

Libertas is a bass-reflex cabinet loudspeaker with drivers of SEAS and Wavecor.

The kit is delivered with the following drivers:
- a Seas TWS27-6 + Visaton WG 148 R tweeter
- two Wavecor WF146WA05 woofers

The loudspeaker has been developed by Dennis Frank and Daniel Gattig.

The crossover consists of:
- a 2nd order high-pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) for the tweeter.
- a band pass consisting of a 2nd order high pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) and a 2nd order low-pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) for the mids-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 0,6% above 300 Hz and doesn't exceed 0,8% at 95 dB at 1 m between 300 and 15000 Hz.

An excerpt from the Klang+Ton review (Translation of the author into English)

"In the listening room, the Libertas presents itself from its best side: the two 13-centimetre woofers create a bass as dynamic as a large paper cone and the tweeter matches t them dynamically. The clean crossover area between the drivers pays off in the shape of a stable and precise spatial image, while the tonality hardly changes even at angles - but you can adjust the intensity of the high-frequency range. The tonal balance is absolutely on-point and can inspire friends of all music genres, because all the qualities of a htop-notch loudspeaker are offered here at a more than fair price."

Conclusion of the magazine Klang+Ton:

"Sound-wise and technically well-designed speaker, pretty to look at and absolutely inexpensive."

Kit with high-end crossover

The high-end kit is delivered with baked varnish air core 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. The capacitors for the Seas TWS27-6 + Visaton WG 148 R are of type polypropylen (MKP) Mundorf MCAP EVO Öl 450 V.

  • Mundorf MCAP EVO Oil 4.7 μF / 450 V
  • Mundorf MKP capacitor 22 μF / 400 V
  • Mundorf baked varnish air core coil BL71, 0.56 mH/0.64 Ohm
  • Mundorf baked varnish air core coil BL140, 2.7 mH/0.51 Ohm
  • Metal-oxide resistor, 10W 3.3 Ohm (orange-orange-gold)
  • Metal-oxide resistor, 10W 10 Ohm (brown-black-black)

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).

  • Audaphon MKT CAP 22 μF / 160 Vdc
  • 0.7 mm air core coil, 0.56 mH/0.55 Ohm
  • ceramic resistor 10 Ohm/20 Watt

Price per impedance correction for one speaker, to be mounted on a small wooden board.     EUR 13,10 excl. VAT: € 11.01 / $ 11.89

universal PCB

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 / $ 4.27
We recommend one board per kit (2 boards per speaker pair)
