Stage 12   Shelf speaker as in K+T 5/2016

Technical data
  • impedance: 8 Ohm
  • sensivity (2,83V/1m): 93 dB
  • size (HxWxD): 712 x 440 x 272 mm
  • frequency range (-8dB): 60 - 21000 Hz
  • crossover frequency(s): 1300 Hz
  • speaker type: bass reflex

The Stage 12 is a 2 way speaker with coaxial driver from Monacor. The kit is delivered with the Monacor SP-312CX.

The crossover consists of a 1st order high-pass filter (6 dB per octave slope) for the tweeter, a acceptor circuit is smoothing the resonance frequency of the tweeter. The woofer is connected to a 3rd order low pass filter (18 dB per octave slope).

The frequency response of this speaker is nearly linear. The decay spectrum is without extreme resonances. At low volume, i.e. 85 dB at 1 m, the nonlinear distortions are lower than 1% above 500 Hz and stays below 1% at 95 dB at 1 m (if f<5kHz).

Our kit consists of

  • Monacor SP-312CX

Kit with high-end crossover

The high-end kit is delivered complete 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. All capacitors are polypropylen (MKP) capacitors; for the tweeter even high quality Clarity-Cap CSA 630 V capacitors are employed.

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).


Price per impedance correction for one speaker, to be mounted on a small wooden board.     EUR 13,90 excl. VAT: € 11.68 / $ 12.62

universal PCBs

If you prefer to mount the crossover components on a universal PCB instead on wood
PCB 220x155 mm, order no. I-8805002, price per unit:   EUR 11,80 excl. VAT: € 9.92 / $ 10.71
We recommend one board per kit (two boards for a speaker pair)
