- Notes
-
The Realistic Solo-1 bookshelf speaker includes a woofer and tweeter enclosed in a cabinet. Speaker impedance is 8 ohms with a frequency response of 50 - 14000 Hz. Power handling capacity is 10 watts. The cabinet is 1/2 inch thick particle board with a walnut veneer surface.
This speaker system had an unusually long product run of 16 years. The size of the enclosure remained constant (14.5 x 11 x 10.5 inches) for the first 15 years and became smaller as noted in the dimension table in the last year of production. Earlier years had plywood/veneer cases with walnut, mahogany, blond, and oak finish options. Price per speaker hit a low of $15.95 in 1961 and increased to $29.95 in later years.
The photographs show the final (1976) speaker that was made in Korea.
