User manual CASTLE SEVERN

[. . . ] We don't have to design our speaker enclosures around modified `off-the-peg' drivers. It also means we can more easily carry out fundamental research into the interactions between the drivers, cabinet and crossover. Our integrated design approach gives us the further benefit that drive units designed for a specific speaker system can avoid the need for complex crossovers. [. . . ] It is widely understood that fewer, high quality components in a simple crossover network give a cleaner sound. Castle is the world's premiere manufacturer of furniture-quality hi-fi loudspeakers. Each speaker is crafted using the finest materials, prepared, assembled and finished to the very highest standards. 2 it's gratifying to find that Castle is still maintaining the best traditions of high quality cabinet work" 4 Music is beyond pleasure ­ the intimacy and connection with the performer at a live concert is electrifying, capable of bringing to the fore emotions forgotten and hidden, yet stirred with passion and performance. The greatest performers through history have relied on the craftsmanship invested in their instruments ­ developed over generations and passed from master to student. We believe that the same level of craftsmanship and passion should be the goal of the loudspeaker designer ­ to create a performance which communicates at an emotional level beyond the mere technicalities of accuracy. To reproduce a level of communication akin to a live performance is our goal and one which we continually strive to achieve. 6 This gifted group of individuals rated craftsmanship and quality of materials as fundamental in loudspeaker design. Whilst it is still true that each loudspeaker design should perform to the very highest standards - that shouldn't mean ugly black boxes and cheap, massproduced components. These are loudspeaker designed solely for the real music enthusiast. The Castle Classic range represents the finest British engineering and design. A complete approach to design creates a perfectly poised and balanced loudspeaker ­ capable of astonishing clarity. 10 C o m pa C t s e r i e s So many satellite home theatre systems involve compromises on so many levels. The Castle Compact series has been engineered to address just these issues. An extraordinary level of craftsmanship has been employed in a miniature hand-built cabinet using advanced drive units and a simple crossover to create a compact loudspeaker with a performance to belie its modest dimensions. Coupled with a powerful subwoofer and a dedicated centre speaker, the system offers a remarkable level of performance and a design, which will enhance and blend with even the most austere interior design. 12 This system combines style with a winning sound, whether with music in stereo or movie soundtracks" CLassiC series speCifiCations: du r h a m Function 2 Channel Format Stand LS Bass 130mm Tweeter Power 19mm 15-75W 3 WarWiCk 2 Channel Stand LS 150mm 19mm 15-110W 8 ohms Yes 87dB 50Hz - 20Hz 2. 2kHz 45Hz 3 pe m b r o k e 2 Channel Floor 130mm 19mm 15-75W 8 ohms No 87dB 45Hz - 20Hz 2. 5kHz 50Hz 710 x 190 x 220 9. 7kg st i r L i n g 2 Channel Floor 2 x 130mm 28mm 25-150W 8 ohms Yes 91dB 3 C o n Way 2 Channel Floor 2 x 150mm 28mm 25-175W 8 ohms Yes 91dB 3 Nom. 1W @ 1M 88dB Frequency Range at -6dB 55Hz - 20Hz Cross Over Frequency 3kHz Frquency Fb 60Hz 40Hz - 20Hz 2. 2kHz 45Hz 845 x 200 x 245 15kg 40Hz - 20Hz 1. 8kHz 45Hz 925 x 220 x 270 21kg Size (HxWxD) mm 365 x 190 x 225 Weight 6. 3kg 440 x 210 x 245 8. 5kg harLeCh Function 2 Channel Format Floor Bass 2 x 130mm Tweeter Power 28mm 25-150W s2 h oWa r d 2 Channel Floor 2 x 150mm 28mm 25-175W 8 ohms No 90dB s3 ke e p Centre 2 ba s t i o n AV Centre Centre 2 x 130mm 28mm 25-150W 8 ohms Yes 91dB 65Hz - 20Hz 2. 1kHz 60Hz 195 x 486 x 240 11. 5kg orieL AV Surround Wall Fix 100mm 28mm 25-150W 8 ohms Yes 91dB 40Hz - 20Hz 2. 1kHz 45Hz 845 x 200 x 245 15kg AV Centre 2 x 130mm 19mm 15-110W 8 ohms Yes 89dB 70Hz - 20Hz 2. 1kHz 65Hz 162 x 465 x 195 6. 8kg Nom.
