Technical data
  • impedance: 6 Ohm
  • sensivity (2,83V/1m): 84 dB
  • size (HxWxD): 1210 x 280 x 450 mm
  • frequency range (-8dB): 25 - 23000 Hz
  • crossover frequency(s): 150, 2200 Hz
  • speaker type: transmission line

ViTraL 200 is a three way floorstanding speaker.

ViTraL 200 is a transmission-line loudspeaker with drivers of Visaton .

The kit is delivered with the following drivers:
- a Visaton KE 25 SC tweeter
- a Visaton AL 130 M mids driver
- a Visaton Tieftöner TIW 200 XS woofer

The loudspeaker has been developed by Bernd Timmermanns.

The crossover consists of:
- a 3rd order high-pass filter (18 dB per octave slope) for the tweeter.
- a band pass consisting of a 2nd order high pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) and a 3rd order low-pass filter (18 dB per octave slope) for the mids-woofer.
- a 2nd order low-pass filter (12 dB per octave slope) for the woofer.

The frequency response of this speaker is perfectly linear.

The decay spectrum is nearly perfect.

At medium volume, i.e. 90 dB at 1 m, the nonlinear distortions are below 0,5% above 200 Hz.

Kit with high-end crossover

The high-end kit is delivered with baked varnish air core coils on important parts of the crossover for minimizing microphonic effects. - The current flow through the coil creates a magnetic field which sets the reel of wire in motion. This motion induces a voltage in the coil which adds itself to the signal. The stiffer the reel of wire is, the less the signal will be altered. The capacitors for the Visaton KE 25 SC are of type polypropylen (MKP) Mundorf MCAP EVO Öl.

Impedance correction

If you want to use a valve amplifier with this speaker an impedance correction should be employed. In this case the component quality is less important; therefore, we offer only one kit (upon request higher quality components are available).

  • Audaphon MKT CAP 33 μF / 160 Vdc
  • 0.7 mm air core coil, 0.47 mH/0.50 Ohm
  • ceramic resistor 8.2 Ohm/20 Watt

Price per impedance correction for one speaker, to be mounted on a small wooden board.     EUR 15,20 excl. VAT: € 12.77 / $ 13.92

universal PCB

For one speaker you need 1 pc. of RA140 and 1 pc. of RA240 pcb.

If you prefer to mount the crossover components on a 140 x 102 mm universal PCB instead on wood:
Universal PCB RA140, order no.. str-RA140, price per unit:   EUR 4,20 excl. VAT: € 3.53 / $ 3.85
Universal PCB RA240, order no.. str-RA240, price per unit:   EUR 8,60 excl. VAT: € 7.23 / $ 7.88
We recommend one board (each) per kit (two boards (each) for a speaker pair)
