The ALTO III C has been designed as a 3-way column speaker with an inside volume of no less than 55 litres. The twin bass arrangement using 2 x W 170 S drivers in parallel guarantees very powerful low-ranging bass reproduction, that comes across crisply and impressively even with hard-hitting beat.
From around 450 Hz upwards, the 10 cm mid-range W 100 S takes over, mounted in its 3 litre enclosure. Single instruments and solo voices are reproduced throughout the mid-range in a most tangible, crisp fashion, where the precise definition of virtual sound sources and their associated range layering, so typical for good mid-range cones, comes across well.
Above about 3500 Hz, the sound character is rounded off neatly by the crisp 19 mm DT 94 tweeter. The exuberance demonstrated by the ALTO III C promises to put listeners in a good mood and keep them there for several hours of musical pleasure.

The ALTO III C cabinets are supplied in four different options as shown below, all are fully CNC machined and rebated from 18mm MDF.
Flat-pack option:
Cabinets supplied as a self-assembly flat-pack in either plain mdf or pre-veneered mdf of your choice. Both options are fully machined and rebated which means that the components all slot together very easily, just needing to be glued with the PVA wood adhesive that is provided. All the necessary holes and rebates for the drive units are pre-machined so you can assemble the cabinets without having any wood-work skills.
Factory built option:
Cabinets are supplied fully assembled eliminating the need for you to undertake any construction. The plain mdf cabinets are supplied assembled but unfinished ready for you to apply your own paint finish and fit the drive units etc,.
The veneered cabinets are supplied assembled and lacquered to a furniture finish. We can fit all the drive units, crossovers etc, to these veneered cabinets at no extra charge so your loudspeakers are fully built and ready to plug and play.
