Visaton Speaker Kit - ALTO LINE MK II
Art. No. 5970
Visaton Alto Line MkII - shown assembled with suggested cabinets, not supplied.
Characteristics and Sound Properties
The ALTO LINE MK II is a slim, 2-band column speaker with two 13 cm mid-bass units and one dome tweeter. Due to its slim design and the correspondingly small footprint, this model is ideal as a free-standing speaker in smaller rooms. The spatial separation is well handled by the speakers and can, as a result, produce clear sound characteristics even in "normal" living rooms.
The unusually broad range bass spectrum for a speaker of this size, that remains crisp even at higher output levels, is a point worthy of note.As a result of its balanced, crisp sound characteristics, and the finely detailed, exuberant high-frequency output, the ALTO LINE MK II can be considered a fully-fledged member of the ALTO speaker family.
