Visaton Speaker Kit - Effect 130
Art. No. 8430
Visaton Effect 130 Speaker Kit - shown assembled with suggested cabinets, not supplied.
Characteristics and Sound Properties
The EFFECT 130 is a Dolby® Surround effect speaker and can easily be used in conjunction with a CENTER 130 or other system. Thanks to the magnetically shielded SC 13 8 ohm driver, the system will be able to achieve the sound volumes required for clear reproduction of Dolby® Surround effects even in larger rooms.
When Dolby® Surround signals are encoded, the upper frequency range is topped off at 7000 Hz, which is why the SC 13 8 ohm speaker, which remains linear up to around 10 kHz, is ideally suited to this application. In order to achieve spatial surround effects irrespective of the seating position, the SC 13 8 ohm has been designed to radiate the sound upwards.
The EFFECT 130 speakers can be located either freely around the room or mounted on the wall, where this should be behind or to the side of the seating position.

Assembly
The EFFECT 130 cabinet consists of 6 boards stuck together (butt jointed), making construction a simple matter. However, it is essential to work accurately since the front grille will not fit in the opening if the tolerances are too great. The grille has the following outer dimensions: 136 x 136 mm. A 10 mm wide slot at the bottom of one side wall is for the cables.
Internal Damping
Half a mat of damping material is loosely pushed into the cabinet.
