Technics SB-X1 Vintage Linear Phase Speakers

Overview

The Technics SB-X1 is a meticulously engineered 2-way bookshelf speaker system from the late 1970s, designed to deliver accurate and phase-coherent sound reproduction. Featuring a linear-phase design, these speakers ensure that audio signals across all frequencies reach the listener simultaneously, resulting in a natural and immersive listening experience.

Key Features

• Advanced Crossover Network: Features a delay device using a B.B.D. element to synchronize the output of the woofer and tweeter, maintaining consistent phase characteristics across the frequency spectrum.
