  • Notes
  • High efficiency and wide-response for good sound even from lower power amplifiers and receivers.

    Provides a louder sound level than the AS1332 with the same amount of amplifier power. Uses an 8" woofer and a 2x6" horn type tweeter for smooth, wide-range sound with excellent high-frequency dispersion. Frequency response extends from 40-16,000 Hz and is a flat ±--3 dB from 60-14,000 Hz. The crossover is at 2500 Hz (12 dB per octave) to minimize distortion and ensure smooth overall response. The woofer and tweeter are front mounted and the cabinet rails are kept low to minimize diffraction and dispersion problems. The horn tweeter can be mounted so you get the best high-frequency dispersion no matter whether you place the system horizontally or vertically — a Heath exclusive! A continuous tweeter level control lets you adjust the highfrequency response to suit your listening area. Each driver is individually fused for protection. Impedance is 8 ohms. With factory assembled walnut-finish vinyi-covered enclosure, handsome 3-dimensional grille cloth. 12" W x 22 1/4" H x 10 1/2" D. Easy 2-4 hour kit assembly — build a pair for great stereo sound!
