Features of the Bamberg Series 5 TM Monitor |
Attention to every detail has been paid in the development of this speaker.
|
General features
- Minimalist TM design offers spacious imaging and an easy amplifier load
- Bass response optimized for integration with BESL subwoofers and for HT receivers´ 80Hz high-pass filter
- Tweeter offset from baffle centerline smoothes SPL response
- Reference Axis response optimized at 10 degrees off horizontal axis (tweeters to inside) and 6 degrees below vertical axis (to account for the 6 degree back-tilt of the cabinet)
- Thoroughly tested for QC
|
Cabinet
- 1" thick MDF baffle, fully cross-braced at driver hole webs
- Acoustic scallops in woofer hole interior edges smoothes low treble response

Crossover
- Externally housed passive network isolates the crossover from vibration and eliminates crosstalk between inductors and voice coils
- Speakon® 4-pole twist-lock connector guarantees tweeter protection and correct driver polarity with the outboard crossover
- External crossover facilitates easy upgrade to full active tri-amp. (Stereo tri-amp requires 6 amplifier channels and Speakon-terminated speaker cables.)
- Multi-strand solid core tweeter Umbilical cable connects monitor to outboard crossover
- 3-position switch provides "airy", "neutral", and "distant" treble contours
- Audiophile grade polypropylene capacitors and perfect-lay air-core inductors throughout
- Mills® tweeter series resistor
- "Passing Lane" cap bypasses main cap and series resistor in tweeter circuit for enhanced top octave "air"
- Optimized inductor/inductor orientation for reduced interaction
- No jumper wires; star grounding technique
- Reliable board fabrication and installation
- And of course, legendary BESL voicing!
