ONE OF GEMS FROM MY COLLECTION.
THESE SPEAKERS ARE EQUAL TO LEGENDARY JBL L-100, AND ONE WILL HAVE TO LISTEN FOR HOURS TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THEM.
Lusting after $1000-$2000 NS-1000, but cannot afford them?
NS-690 are second best in the line, the main difference is there's no beryllium used, other than that virtually identical to NS-1000 / NS-1000M.
Fabulous performance. One of few speaker designs that can play very loud and very clear; comparable to JBL Professional in that respect. Impressively low levels of distortion. Can hear every note. Perfect for recording studio or home use.
Type I, original issue model, made in Japan in 1980.
Built to very high standards, there's a documented story of these speakers been dropped from 5 feet high and still playing perfectly. The cabinets are 1" thick high density multi-layered plywood type, no particle board here.
8 Ohms, 96db/1m
Woofer: 300mm = 12", treated high tension paper for tight, extremely agile bass.
Midrange: 75mm soft dome (dome midranges are only used in high end speakers)
Tweeter: 30mm soft dome, looks like silk
All drivers are encased in solid metal baskets - photos available upon request.
Cloth surrounds, no foams here.
Exceptional quality massive crossover.
Adjustable midrange and tweeter output.
Frequency response: 35-20000 Hz
Size: 14" x 12" x 25" each
Net weight: 50 pounds EACH
CAN BE DRIVEN BY MULTIPLE AMPS - SEPARATE X-OVER OUTPUTS !! YOU DON'T SEE THIS EVERY DAY, AND THEN ONLY ON VERY SPECIAL SPEAKERS.
