CT297 is a two way wall-mounted speaker.

CT297 is a closed-cabinet loudspeaker with drivers of Visaton .

The kit is delivered with the following drivers:
- a Visaton FRS 8 M full range driver
- a Visaton W 130 X woofer

The loudspeaker has been developed by Holger Barske and Thomas Schmidt.

The crossover consists of:
- a 2nd order high-pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) for the full range driver In series there is a trap filter..
- a 2nd order low-pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) for the woofer.

In the frequency response the trebles are strongly accentuated.

The decay spectrum is nearly perfect.

At low volume, i.e. 85 dB at 1 m, the nonlinear distortions are below 1% above 300 Hz and doesn't exceed 2,5% at 95 dB at 1 m between 300 and 15000 Hz.

Our kit consists of

  • 2x Visaton FRS 8 M, 8 Ohm
  • Visaton W 130 X, 2x 4 Ohm
  • Damping Sonofil 100 x 35 cm for 20 litres
  • 3m Speaker cable 2x1.5 mm2, transparent
  • 0,5x SuM-pan-4x12-verz
