Technics SB-C600

Technics introduces the SB-C600 bookshelf speaker. "When talking about Technics, most hi-fi and music lovers immediately think of the brand's legendary record players, which have become real icons - real milestones for use in home hi-fi systems and reliable standard tools for DJs," explains Frank Balzuweit, Product Manager Technics Europe. "Strictly speaking, the very first product produced under the name Technics in 1965 was a small 2-way bookshelf speaker," Frank Balzuweit continues. "This compact speaker was able to impress with a sound quality that was hardly thought possible at the time."

The compact SB-C600 2-way loudspeaker is designed as a bass reflex construction and works as an acoustically ideal point sound source thanks to its unique coaxial driver based on the "linear phase" principle. Its sophisticated technology was adopted in many details from its much larger sister model, the SB-G90M2.

In order to optimize all components such as the loudspeaker chassis and housing for the best possible sound quality, the latest computer analysis and simulation software were used in the development of the new SB-C600. Sound-disturbing housing resonances and possible distortion of the drivers were effectively reduced to an absolute minimum - the best conditions for excellent and crystal-clear music reproduction.

Features and technical specifications:

• Phase Precision Driver: The design of the coaxial driver was taken from the chassis of the large SB-G90M2 floorstanding speakers. A woofer with a 15 cm membrane and a 25 mm aluminum dome arranged in its center act as a quasi-point sound source with excellent phase characteristics. This ensures precise resolution and realistic spatial imaging.
• Linear Phase Plug: As in the SB-G90M2, this ensures optimal phase linearity and enables a seamless transition between mid-range and high-frequency reproduction without annoying distortion.
• Balanced Driver Mounting Architecture (BDMA): The bass driver is mounted at its center of gravity on a second baffle inside the housing. Since the driver unit is not mounted directly on the baffle, vibrations from the chassis that reduce the sound quality are not transferred to the housing. The sound image is impressive with a much more precise reproduction and remains astonishingly realistic and uncolored down to the finest nuances.
• The shape of the bass reflex port located on the front of the cabinet was reduced to minimal ventilation noise by means of accurate analysis of the air flow and a “vortex generator”.
• The extremely stable housing structure, in conjunction with the second, inner baffle, effectively suppresses resonances and thus disruptive influences on the sound. The result of these complex technological innovations is a wide, finely resolved sound image with precise spatial imaging and excellent depth gradation.
