Cerwin Vega At-40 Specs //top\\
followed the classic Cerwin-Vega formula: high sensitivity and massive bass in a relatively efficient package
Unlike standard 2-way or 3-way speakers, the AT-40 utilizes a sophisticated 4-way driver configuration. This allows the speaker to dedicate specific drivers to specific frequency ranges, ensuring that vocals remain clear, mids are present, and highs sparkle without distortion, even at high volumes. cerwin vega at-40 specs
: 95 dB (1W/1m), allowing for high volume levels even with lower-powered amplifiers. Nominal Impedance : 6 Ohms. Crossover Points : 400 Hz and 3,000 Hz. Nominal Impedance : 6 Ohms
The AT-40 differs from budget CV models by including a dedicated midrange driver (many cheaper speakers use a woofer-tweeter two-way design). The 5.25" coated paper cone handles critical vocal and instrument frequencies from 500 Hz to 5 kHz, reducing intermodulation distortion. ensuring that vocals remain clear
for the European market, using American-made drivers and crossovers housed in high-quality European cabinets. They became the go-to choice for garage jams and house parties, known for being so efficient that even a modest receiver could drive them to window-rattling levels.
