Vintage Pioneer Exclusive 2402's

[Mike]

I would love a pair of these babies from the 80's:



The professional studio monitor speaker system developed as the small control room which adopted the unit of TAD (Technical Audio Devices) and was developed, or an object for an edit.

TL-1601a of a 40cm cone type Woofer is carried in low-pass.
The high efficiency is realized by having raised thoroughly the magnetic circuit of an AlNiCo-Magnet using, the combination of lightweight vibration system, and the initial shock sensitivity of an oscillating supporting system.
Furthermore, in order to improve the endurance demanded as an object for pros, it corresponds by coupling of the smooth oscillating supporting system of a motion which pierced through DRS (dynamic response suspension) thought, and a special aging cone.
Moreover, the endurance excellent also in the using of the Dainyuu power long time has been conjointly acquired with the heat-dissipation design with the sufficient voice coil of high heat resistance and efficiency ratio.

Driver unit TD-4001 and horn TD-4001 are carried in the high region.
TD-4001 has realized the wide band play (600Hz - 20kHz) by adoption of the Alnico magnetic circuit of flux density 20,000Gauss, and 10cm in diameter a large-sized beryllium diaphragm.
Moreover, TH-4001 is the stabilized dispersion horn developed in order to demonstrate the capacity of TD-4001, and has succeeded in the directive modification by 10kHz or more made difficult in the conventional large-sized horn. Furthermore, the large listening area is secured by realizing the directive effective pattern obtained from actual sound field research. The acer mono is used for the material.

TN-2 which is a dividing network of TAD is adopted as a network.
OFC (oxygen free high conductivity copper) was adopted as the product-line code or the choke coil coil, and thorough low-loss-izing and reduction in a leakage, such as connection of a press join type, a gilding large-sized terminal, adoption of a quality capacitor, etc. which use an OFC sleeve, are realized.
Moreover, making HF circuitry and line feed character circuitry separate etc., in order to form line feed character circuitry into a balance circuit in order to remove the inter leakage resulting from an earth line, and also to sweep away muddiness of the sound in a crossover is the custom-made design which demonstrates the performance of each unit.

High-rigidity-ization is attained by adopting apitong plywood as an enclosure. Reinforcement of frame structure effective for this was added, and sufficient intensity is secured.

Scheme 2 ways, 2 speaker bass-reflex scheme, and a bookshelf type
Using unit etc. For low-pass: 40cm cone type (TL-1601a)

I would love to see Pioneer, Sony, etc. get back into better audio gear. Interesting how their demise coincides with their abandoning high-end gear.

[Mike]

Very good point Bud.

[XV-1]

Oh yea Mike

One of my dream systems

Add an Exclusive C3a and an M5 and heaven.

And our course my P3 turntable

Beautiful stuff. Marantz, Sony, Pioneer were/all big enough they should have the best engineers and the best ability to secure the best parts. Even if they don't make a lot of money they set a halo (eg Mercedes sells a lot more C350 sedans than the Gullwing AMG)

Mike.......My audio lust meter peaked this morning when I saw those dark finished Pioneer Exclusive 2402's in the second video. I don't even know where I could put a pair but I want them. Just amazing.

Me too Dan. I've been ogling them for a long time now. The video is from a store called Kenrick Sound in Tokyo: ENGLISH / ??? - ??????????KENRICK SOUND? - JBL????? 43XX???? ?? ??????????? They restore horn speakers. Quite the operation:



For Jerry Seh:

How about some JBL Hartsfields:

JBL Olympus

[Mike]

And if I had the room....

[jdandy]

Mike.......Interesting that you would post the L300 video for Jerry. He just purchased a mint pair of JBL L300's that he will use with his new C22 reissue, MC75 reissues, and MCD1100. We talked last week and Jerry will keep the L300's in storage until next May. He is house hunting.

These are the actual JBL L300's he purchased.

[Mike]

Nice! Yes, Jerry told me he's been pining for those L300's for a while now. I'm sure he will love them. That pair looks mint.

Mike.......Oh yes, I am familiar with Kenrick Sound. I have visited their website for years drooling over the many amazing offerings.

[Golucid]

Oh man. I want... were to find? I've got an empty Visa begging to be used.

Man that's some gorgeous gear. Hey what do ya know finally a new post in "Vintage".
