two π loudspeaker performance data

two Pi loudspeaker
The two "π" loudspeaker is the larger brother of our original one "π" bookshelf speaker, designed in 1978. Its larger size affords it a little deeper bass than the original model. It has been continually updated over the years to take advantage of the most modern materials, but the original design is still very much intact.

It satisfies three basic requirements: The first requirement is that it must sound great. The second is that it sound great with little input power. And the third requirement is that it be relatively inexpensive. To reach these goals, we've used only the most efficient components.

The end result is a loudspeaker that is efficient enough to work well with low-power amplifiers yet durable enough to handle high power, delivering high sound pressure levels. The bottom line is these speakers put out plenty of great sound.

The two "π" speaker is perfect for use as a surround speaker in high-SPL home theaters. It's high sensitivity also makes it a great choice for bedroom or dormitory systems where low-power amplification is used.

Frequency Response

Impedance

Notes:

  • All measurements were done halfspace, with the speaker resting in a cradle and the microphone suspended above it on a boom.
  • No post-processing or smoothing was applied.
  • Measurements were taken at a distance of 10 feet from the baffle and drive voltage was 8.62vrms. This is equivalent to 2.83v/M and 1W/1M values since average impedance is 8Ω.
  • The loudspeaker was driven with a 60Hz sine at 20vrms to pre-heat for 15 minutes immediately before measurement. This was done to bring it to a realistic operating temperature.
