Product Overview & Specifications
The Eltax Vintage PWR 1959 is a 3-way bass reflex floorstanding monitoring loudspeaker engineered around a high-efficiency driver layout reminiscent of classic 1970s studio monitors. Featuring a front-firing acoustic design, the PWR 1959 is equipped with a 380mm (15-inch) cellulose pulp woofer, an independently housed 160mm (6-inch) cellulose pulp midrange driver, and dual 25mm (1-inch) horn-loaded dome tweeters with integrated bullet phase plugs.
Designed and engineered through a Danish-French partnership, the reinforced enclosure features internal bracing to suppress mechanical vibrations and minimize cabinet resonance during high-output playback. With a sensitivity rating of 96 dB (1W/1m) and power handling of 250 watts RMS, the system reproduces frequencies from 30 Hz to 22,000 Hz (±3 dB). Dual front-firing bass ports allow direct boundary placement near rear walls while maintaining controlled bass output and wide dynamic linearity.
KEY FEATURES & PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGIES
- High-Efficiency 3-Way Monitoring Topology: 96 dB sensitivity allows for wide dynamic range and high acoustic output with modest amplifier power.
- 15-Inch Cellulose Pulp Bass Driver: 380mm paper-pulp cone delivers low-frequency reproduction down to 30 Hz with minimal mechanical excursion.
- Dual Horn-Loaded Bullet Tweeters: Twin 1-inch dome tweeters combined with horns and phase bullets provide controlled dispersion and high-frequency resolution.
- Isolated Cellulose Midrange Sub-Enclosure: 6-inch paper-pulp driver housed in a sealed internal chamber to eliminate rear-wave modulation from the bass driver.
- Twin Front-Firing Reflex Ports: Front-oriented port layout equalizes internal cabinet pressure and allows for straightforward room and boundary placement.
- Internally Braced Heavyweight Cabinetry: Multi-braced 34 kg cabinet constructed to maintain acoustic rigidity and control cabinet wall resonance.
