Hello, I am Tokushige at Nihonbashi Store. This week I report on a Diatone speaker first in a long period. |
|
|
The speaker was first produced in 1980 named DS-505. It employs the D.U.D. (Diatone Unified Diaphragm), a method to directly drive the diaphragm with a structure unifying voice coils and the diaphragm, which became typical later on for Diatone speakers. It is a four-way speaker of a large-sized bookshelf type that is equipped with a closed-type enclosure of 420 (W) x 720 (H) x 425mm (D), a 32cm woofer, 16cm mid-bass, 4cm mid-high and 2.3cm tweeter. It weighs 42kg and manages to be carried by only one person. |

The frequency response ranges from 28 to 40,000Hz and crossover at each unit is 350, 1,500 and 5,000Hz respectively. Since the enclosure is large for a bookshelf type, you can enjoy fairly great sound field. Of course, it has high resolution in mid and high range. However, I feel the sound integrity might be better on a three-way speaker than this. Starting with this model, three-way DS-503 in 1981, DS-3000 in 1984 which is a successor to DS-505, DS-1000 series and DS-2000 series were unveiled afterwards respectively. In a sense, the DS-505 is a Diatone speaker in early days. But even now, 25 years after its release, it lets you enjoy completely fresh sound it reproduces. |
