The averaged room response of the system was effectively flat above 400 Hz, within 2 dB overall up to about 10 kHz. We measured the performance of the bass module and the satellites both separately and together^ as a system. It is also available with three additional satellites for use in home theater systems, as the Ensemble IV Home Theater, making it ideal for enjoying home theater at minimal cost when combined with an inexpensive A/V receiver, a TV, and a VCR. The Ensemble IV comes with a 100-foot roll of insulated, color-coded speaker wire, a wire cutter/stripper, and full instructions for installation.

The satellites, which have perforated metal grilles, are finished in dark gray Nextel, but they are also available primed for painting in a color of your choice.Д¬ambridge SoundWorks is also somewhat unconventional in supplying all the 'extras' needed to install its systems. The bass driver operates in a sealed cavity, firing into a second cavity that serves as a tuned band-pass filter in order to exclude unwanted higher frequencies from its output.Д®ach satellite speaker is barely large enough to contain a single long-throw 3-inch cone driver whose response extends down to 150 Hz.

It is a three-piece system with two small, roughly cubical satellite speakers and a compact common-bass 'subwoofer.' The bass module has a single long-throw 5-3/4-inch driver with a dual voice coil to radiate frequencies below about 150 Hz through a single 2-1/4-inch port. The Cambridge SoundWorks catalog describes the new Ensemble IV speaker system as 'the most compact, most affordable subwoofer/satellite speaker system ever designed by Henry Kloss.' Considering that Kloss is one of the most talented and prolific speaker designers of our time (and definitely not given to exaggeration), it would be reasonable to infer that the Ensemble IV is somewhat special.Дecide for yourself.
