Peerless_XT19_XT200_Amp_Imp_a_b

Outstanding linear frequency response. From 2,5-14kHz + -0,5dB!

Full level from 1,2kHz. Extremely good-natured "roll-off". With an average of 89,5dB / 2,83V, the efficiency is rather below average. For most applications, however, completely sufficient.

Outstanding pair equality in the two measured copies both in impedance, - and amplitude response. The maximum deviation of both drivers> 500 Hertz is + -0,15dB! This testifies to an excellent production consistency.

Thanks coupling volume very low resonance frequency around 750Hz. The impedance peaks indicate a dose of low-viscosity ferrofluid. Their slightly different characteristics are completely meaningless, being far out of the usable range.

Outstanding low distortion 3.order. From 2kHz at all measured levels <0,1%. The "good-natured" K2 increases relatively sharply below 3kHz. A little bit of "enhancement" is built in. Higher order distortion components are practically not apparent. For very level-stable combinations, I recommend separations from 3kHz. Smaller 2-way (e.g. with a 4 ″ TMT) can be separated by 2kHz.

 Conclusion


The 19mm ring emitter Vifa / Peerless XT19TD00-04 (XT-200 K4) measured in the sum of its properties absolutely outstanding!

The relationship to his big brother, the XT25TG30-04 shows not only on the outside but also in all measurements. (The resourceful reader will have noticed that a few passages in the text are identical in both tests ...)

The frequency response is linearly smooth. Can be used in very level-stable combinations from 3kHz, otherwise lower. Series spread seems a foreign word for the driver. Furthermore, its intended working range is far outside the region around the resonance frequency that is prone to series fluctuations due to the design of tweeters. It is generally not recommended to separate tweeters> = 2x FR for nothing. Extremely commendable.

Vifa XT-300 (XT25TG3004) Frequency response and impedance response

Outstanding linear frequency response. Full level from 1,3kHz. Extremely good-natured "roll-off". The efficiency is on average 91,5dB / 2,83V. One copy has a resonance frequency that is 20% higher, but this has no effect in the intended working range. Otherwise congruent course from 1,5 kHz. Very well. At the frequency response you have to look very closely to see whether there are 2 or 3 drivers. Practically congruent course from 600Hz.

Vlt. a little note at this point:

I do not buy any preselected drivers ... With such a result, one might suspect that.

Outstandingly low 3rd order distortion. From 1,5kHz <0,1% at all measured levels. The "good-natured" K2 rises relatively sharply below 3kHz. A little bit of "whitening" is built in. In the case of separations> = 2kHz, K2 should still remain below the perceptibility threshold, even at very high levels.

 Conclusion


The ring emitter Vifa / Peerless XT-300 K4 (XT25TG-30 / 04) is outstanding in the sum of its properties!

The frequency response is linearly smooth, the omnidirectional response is extremely even and the decay behavior could not be better.

The ring emitter can be used in very level-stable combinations from 2kHz. With "normal" level requirements also lower.

Series spread seems a foreign word for the driver. Furthermore, its intended working range is far outside the region around the resonance frequency that is prone to series fluctuations due to the design of tweeters. It is generally not recommended to separate tweeters> = 2x FR for nothing.

I have installed the XT-300 K / 4 with the SPH-175HQ in the kit Samuel HQ, and I am very pleased with its features.
