Parker Audio's latest
offering for the Zen series of amplifiers! This is the Model 98. The
98 offers a richer and more dynamic sound than any speaker previously
available for the Zen series of amps.
The
kits consist of the following: Four Custom manufactured 6.5" cast frame
woofers with paper cone and treated textile surround. To say these
drivers are quick would be a gross understatement!! These are mated to
a modified Fostex horn loaded tweeter. Rounding out the kit are a set
of 5 way binding posts.
This system is unrivaled
at its price point for dynamics and sheer musicality. As holds true
with the 95 MKII kit this system will provide the DIYer with the
satisfaction of having put a world class speaker system together for a
fraction of the cost of commercially available systems.
Pictured below left are a fine example of how a
finished set of model 98 speaker kits can look!! These were handcrafted
by Karl Jensen.
The
Model 98 will work best in a vented configuration, but as with any kit,
experimenting with different cabinet types and volumes are always an
option. The cabinet configuration I offer is a vented design. The
cabinet volume for this kit is optimal at 1.25 cubic feet. At this
volume the optimal port is 3" in diameter and 1.5" long. The system
specs for this setup are 96 db efficient, 2 ohm impedance and a
frequency response of 40-40khz.
