SongBird overview
The mission: Take our award-winning SongTower design,
eliminate one of the woofers and down-size the transmission line cabinet
accordingly. The result: The SongBird QWT...the same high-quality SongTower
sound in a smaller, less expensive package.
the story
After the overwhelming success of the SongTowers, one of our
associates, John Fallows, suggested we look into producing a single woofer
version. So we contacted Paul Kittinger and asked him to work up a transmission
line cabinet design for this new, smaller SongSeries floor-stander.
At about that same time, Dennis Murphy began working with
the Seas ER15 and reported that while it was very similar to the CA15 we had
used in the SongTowers, the FR plots with this new driver were even
flatter.
Armed with a new Paul Kittinger cabinet design, a new
midwoofer and a new Dennis Murphy crossover, we went to work. We were expecting
great sound, but everybody who heard the initial prototypes were very
impressed. The mids and top end were nearly identical to the SongTowers and the
bass was more extended than any of us would have imagined.
applications
The SongBird's are a perfect speaker for a 2-channel music
system in a small room. Their footprint, at 10" x 10", is smaller than most
stand-mounted speakers.
The SongBird's are equally well-suited for home theater use.
Use a pair for the surround channels in a SongTower based system, or use four
of them with a SongCenter and SongSub for a great small home theater
system.
