Sofia AMT 21 is a two way compact speaker.

Sofia AMT 21 is a bass-reflex cabinet loudspeaker with drivers of Mundorf and Wavecor.

The kit is delivered with the following drivers:
- a Mundorf AMTU160W1.1-R air motion transformer (ribbon-tweeter)
- a Wavecor WF152BD10 woofer

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 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 nearly perfect.

At low volume, i.e. 85 dB at 1 m, the nonlinear distortions are below 0,9% above 300 Hz and doesn't exceed 1,1% at 95 dB at 1 m between 300 and 15000 Hz.

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 Mundorf AMTU160W1.1-R are of type polypropylen (MKP) Clarity-Cap MR 630 V.

  • ClarityCap MR capacitor 3.9 μF / 630 Vdc
  • ClarityCap PWA capacitor 10 μF / 400 Vdc
  • ClarityCap PX capacitor 0.82 μF / 250 Vdc
  • Mundorf copper foil coil CFC14-2.2 mH/0.41Ohm
  • Mundorf baked varnish air core coil BL71, 0.82 mH/0.89 Ohm
  • MResist Supreme 18 Ohm / 20 Watt

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, 0.15 mH/0.28 Ohm
  • ceramic resistor 22 Ohm/20 Watt

Price per impedance correction for one speaker, to be mounted on a small wooden board.     EUR 12,40 excl. VAT: € 10.42 / $ 11.36

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 / $ 4.31
We recommend one board per kit (2 boards per speaker pair)
