C-Note MT Bookshelf Speaker Components Only Kit

How do you build great sounding speakers on a budget? Easy! The C-Note bookshelf speaker kit delivers accurate response, incredible imaging, and a surprising amount of bass for an unbeatable price. This components-only version is perfect for DIY builders and woodworkers, giving you the freedom to design and build your own custom enclosure. All the components you need are included to complete this speaker building project: drivers, port tubes, crossover components, crossover circuit boards, binding posts, screws, and wire.

The Drivers

Dayton Audio's DSA135-8 5" Designer Series woofer is used for the midrange and low frequencies. With an aluminum cone and a powerful motor designed for low distortion, this woofer produces bass with authority while remaining smooth through the midrange frequencies. The high frequencies are handled by the ND25FW-4 1" soft dome tweeter , also from Dayton Audio. This waveguide-loaded tweeter controls high frequency dispersion for smooth off axis response and natural sound. Another advantage of the waveguide design is that it allows the voice coil to set further back from the baffle for an almost perfect time alignment with the woofer.

The Crossover

Dividing the frequencies between the drivers is a 6 component 2-way crossover network. Polypropylene caps, air core inductors, and low inductance resistors are used, allowing this network to pass audio with minimal effect to the original signal. The C-Note kit now includes dual sided printed circuit boards making the crossover assembly and installation easier than ever.

Build it Your Way

For DIY speaker builders and woodworking enthusiasts, the components-only version of the C-Note bookshelf speaker kit offers complete freedom to design and build a custom enclosure. This kit is ideal for those who want to create a unique speaker cabinet using their own materials, tools, and finishing techniques while still achieving the proven performance of the C-Note design.
