ScaMo 15 is a monitor with scan speak chassis. The woofer is a Scan Speak driver of the Discovery series.

Bernd Timmermanns used a simple housing for ScaMo 15 which is easy to rebuild. The crossover consists of a second-order high-pass filter and a second-order low-pass filter. A resistor in series to the tweeter adjusts the level of the tweeter to the level of the woofer. A resistor divider was not chosen because the tweeters 4 Ohms impedance should be adapted to 8 Ohms.

In Parallel to the resistor a small capacitor is used, which raises the highest frequencies, so that the speaker reaches almost 40 000 Hz in frequency response.

The frequency response of the speaker-system is very flat; the decay spectrum is excellent and the non-linear distortions remain almost consistently below 0.3% at 90 dB SPL. These are excellent characteristics.

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
  • Audaphon air core coil L7, 0.68 mH/0.70 Ohm
  • 2x Metal-oxide resistor, 10W 3.9 Ohm (orange-white-gold)


Price per impedance correction for one speaker, to be mounted on a small wooden board.   EUR 14,60 excl. VAT: € 12.27 / $ 13.37

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 two boards per kit (four boards for a speaker pair)
