Enclosure

The design and shape of the Cabar enclosure has been determined by the requirements for minimum diffraction, the closest possible spacing between the HF and LF drivers and as a sufficiently rigid pressure vessel. The basic body of the cabinet is an aluminium pipe, 150mm in diameter, divided into three sections. The centre section houses all the electronics for the fully active system: multiple power amplifiers, analogue signal processing, power supplies and connectronics. The two outer sections are the low frequency enclosure spaces, which extend out to the ends of the pipe. At each end of the pipe there are moulded high frequency enclosures, each housing two 50mm drivers. The overall length is 1.5metres. All the aluminium is anocoloured prior to a hard anodising finish, the other cabinet parts are epoxy painted.
