Silver Signature

Despite its moderate size, the Silver Signature possesses a wide frequency range - 35Hz to 22kHz in typical room conditions. The Signature's pedigree is evident from the fact that it is criticaly toleranced to a # 1.5dB maximum deviation in the vital 100Hz/to 15kHz range, (measured using auraly weighted one-third octave band analysis). F i n e l y B a l a n c e d The speaker, therefore, offers the optimum balance between the fundamental factors of bandwidth, sensitivity, dynamic range and amplifier loading Nominally rated at 8 ohms, the Signature is compatible with a wide spectrum of amplification -vacuum tube and solid state. Depending on room size, amplifier per channel power ratings from 20 watts continuous wil prove suitable, reaching up to a maximum input o f 150 wats o f unclipped, undistorted peak music programme. In the snapshot of the present, it's gratifying to know that the Silver Signature stands at the forefront o f audio design. By making it modular with potential for future refinement, we have ensured that the Signature wil remain there.
