Characteristics and sound properties

As the name CLASSIC 200 suggests, this speaker design uses the classic 3-band arrangement: one woofer, one mid-range cone and one dome tweeter, all arranged one above the other close together in the front baffle. The AL 200 8 Ohm, TI 100 8 Ohm and KE 25 SC 8 Ohm used here are the best drivers in their respective categories available from the VISATON catalogue. For an upright cabinet, this is relatively small, enabling space-saving use in almost any sitting room.

The sensitivity of the CLASSIC 200 is excellent for a speaker of this size. This is made possible by the "slim-line" bass tuning. In comparison with the VOX 200, which has almost the same driver arrangement, the lower limiting frequency has been set slightly higher. This will appeal in particular to those who appreciate more "crisp" bass reproduction. The difference is that, in the CLASSIC 200, the low-frequency room resonance which is almost always present in any room, is not excited to the same degree and this reduces the reverberation.

The other drivers are also without doubt excellent and contribute to a holistic overall sound consisting of precise mid-range and clear as crystal, unobtrusive, smooth-as-silk treble frequencies.

Extract from Klang & Ton 05/2005

As one would expect, the Classic 200 produces a very fine sound image across the entire range and this enables one to distinguish fine differences which are simply inaudible with other loudspeakers. At the same time, one is never made to feel that the speaker is trying to force this frank approach on one in an obtrusive manner or invent things which were never there in the original recording. In the low-frequency range, too, the overall sound quality remains clear and well-balanced thanks to the fine tuning.
We, who always prefer lively loudspeakers with verve and dynamism, could not fault Visaton's Classic 200, loved every aspect of them - they provided unqualified listening enjoyment.

CONSTRUCTION
The cabinet sections are cut in accordance with the parts list and glued together. Next, the openings and recesses for the loudspeakers and the bass reflex tube (front panel) and terminal connections (rear panel) are cut out.

Inner damping

Half a mat of damping material is pushed into the mid-range enclosure. The rest is distributed uniformly in the cabinet, while ensuring that the port of the bass reflex tube is left unblocked.
