SL-5
Commentary

This thin speaker system was developed aiming for thinner and higher Hi-Fi.
It has a slightly smaller structure than SL-7.

A 16 cm cone type woofer is installed in the low range.
The corn is made of paper made from kraft pulp, which has a high Young's modulus. In addition, in order to emphasize musical quality, we are focusing on the rich reproduction of the mid-range where the main components of musical instruments are concentrated, and we have adopted an aluminum dome radiator.
In addition, it uses a special urethane rubber edge, a damper with good linearity, and ferrite magnet for the magnetic circuit.

To improve low-frequency playback, a 16 cm Doron Cone is used.
The Doron Cone is a cone-type unit that does not have a magnetic circuit. The vibration of the cone reverses the phase of the low sound emitted from the back of the woofer unit to improve the low sound reproduction.
By adopting special urethane rubber edge and piano wire damper, excellent linearity is obtained even in large amplitude.

A horn type tweeter with high efficiency and improved directivity is installed in the high frequency range.

The network section uses a 12dB/oct LC type that utilizes transformer technology.

The enclosure is made of hard special plywood and particle board with Kumiko, a traditional Japanese craft.

There were 2 kinds, SL-5 which made the best use of natural wood スピナール and SL-5W with white finish.

There was a leg type stand with aluminum finish sold separately.
