DS-21C
Commentary

This is a bookshelf speaker system in the first lineup of Diatone released in 1968.

For low range, it is equipped with PW 2015 which is a 20 cm cone type woofer.
This unit is designed to attenuate the high-at - 12 -12dB/oct. from the crossover frequency, so that no unwanted sound emission occurs.

For 5 cm cone type tweeter, TW-5014, is mounted for the high range.

The overall design, including the enclosure, makes it possible to use only one condenser for the 2-way network and realizes low distortion.

The enclosure uses a bass reflex system and is designed to enhance the bass effect when installed on a bookshelf or wall surface.
The exterior has a Eurasian cheek finish.
