The Nathan has a 10" woofer and a 10" waveguide. Designed for
constrained spaces and budgets, this speaker still performs among the very best available at any price. The smaller waveguide does not control the coverage as well but there is a diminished axial hole when compared to the Abbey. The Nathan has satisfied numerous critical customers because of its very high performance to size ratio. Few speakers in this size and price
category can stand up to the Nathan. These are for the horizontal polar responses. On the left is a polar map which shows sound levels as a contour map in 3 dB increments. The vertical axis represents the angle in degrees and the horizontal axis represents frequency in hertz.
These plots may seem new since almost no one in this industry would dare to show this level of detailed data. There is a reason for that!
Size is 24" x 12" x 10".
Speaker compliment: B&C 10PS26 and DE250-8
Sensitivity: 95 dB / 2.83 volt / 1 m (0 dB on the curves below)
Impedance: 8 Ohms above 100 Hz.
"To make it short: the speakers are awesome. If you've never listened to a speaker that is capable of reproducing such a wide dynamic range without distortion (take any of the popular 2 way boxes) then you'll be amazed how lifelike e.g. a voice can be. The lack of compression combined with a high directivity
that minimizes disturbing reflections helps in raising intelligibility not only of voices but of the whole sound stage. " - Markus Mehlau
The Nathan is available as a kit or fully assembled and tested. The Nathan pictured to the left is in flat White.
