"BASIC RANGE" HI -FI SPEAKER
SYSTEM KIT
The popularity of this modestly priced speaker system
attests to its high fidelity performance. The SS -2
provides an ideal basic speaker for your home hi -fi
system. Flexibility of design allows it to be used as a
table top model or as an attractive consolette with
optional legs. May also be used as a supplementary
speaker in more advanced systems or as replacement
speaker for TV sets, etc. The specially designed
tweeter horn rotates 90 degrees allowing you to use
the speaker in an upright position if desired, as in the
Heathkit stereo wing speaker enclosures. Total frequency
range is from 50 to 12,000 cycles -per- second.
An 8" mid -range woofer covers from 50 to 1,600 CPS
while a compression -type tweeter with flared horn
covers 1,600 to 12,000 CPS. Both speakers are by
Jensen. A variable balance control allows level adjustment
of the high frequency speaker. Power rating
is 25 watts. Constructed of t /z" veneer -surfaced ply -
wood suitable for light or dark finish. All wood parts
are precut and predrilled for simple, quick assembly.
An added feature of the SS -2 is that, although an
outstanding performer in its own right, it may be
combined with the SS-1B "range extending" speaker
system later to extend the frequency range at the
high and low ends of the audio range. Build in just
one evening for many years of listening enjoyment.
