The Quest Speaker System ImportantContents Introduction Installation in Brief Step 2 PlacementStep 3: Power Connection AC Step 4 Signal ConnectionAn Electrostatic Transducer The Electrostatic ConceptAn Electromagnetic Transducer History Janszen was so excited with the results that he continued research on the electrostatic speaker on his own time. He soon thought of insulating the stators to prevent the destructive effects of arcing. By 1952 he had an electrostatic tweeter element ready for commercial production. This new tweeter soon created a sensation among American audio hobbyists. Since Janszens tweeter element was limited to high frequency reproduction, it often found itself used in conjunction with woofers, most notably, woofers from Acoustic Research. These systems were highly regarded by all audio enthusiasts Full Range Operation Martin-LoganExclusivesSee Figure Transducer Integrity Vapor Deposited FilmCurvilinear Line Source Signal Connection AC Power ConnectionOperation Bi-WireConnection Standard Connectionthe Bi-Wire/Bi-Ampposition positionPassive Bi-amplificationOperation following pageContouring Switches Active Bi-Amplification0dB Flat -3dB 3dB -6dB 20Hz200Hz +2dBYour Room Room AcousticsTerminology Rules of Thumb Bipolar Speakers and Your RoomControlled Horizontal Dispersion Room Acoustics and Dispersion InteractionsControlled Vertical Dispersion Three Major Types of Dispersion Multiple Large Panel DispersionTraditional Point Source Dis- persion Curvilinear Line Source Disper- sionPlacement Listening PositionThe Wall Behind the Listener The Wall Behind the SpeakersExperimentation A Final WordFinal Placement 3the pin-pointfocusing of imagingThe X-traTweek Solid FootingEnjoy Yourself PlacementQuestions Troubleshooting No OutputWeak Output, Loss of Highs Exaggerated Highs, BrightnessRecommended Music Analog DiscsCompact Discs Albert King Live WireGlossary Page Quest Specifications Page 2001 delaware street p.o. box lawrence, kansas
