Sensitivity: 84 dB from 500 Hz to 2 kHz

This graph shows the quasi-anechoic (employing close-miking of all woofers) frequency response of the Minuet Supreme Plus (purple trace). The passive loudspeaker was measured (with the grille on) at a distance of 1 meter with a 2.83-volt input.

The Minuet Supreme Plus’s listening-window response (a five-point average of axial and +/–15-degree horizontal and vertical responses) measures +2.32/–3.40 dB from 200 hertz to 10 kilohertz. An average of axial and +/–15° horizontal responses measures +2.60/–3.09 dB from 200 Hz to 10 kHz. The –3-dB point is at 137 Hz, and the –6-dB point is at 88 Hz. Impedance reaches a minimum of 5.68 ohms at 4.9 kHz and a phase angle of –57.02° at 136 Hz.—MJP
