A compact passive full-range loudspeaker, the box pro Achat 104 offers its users excellent value for money. With its robust wooden housing, the 104 weighs 2.5kg, which is comparatively heavy compared to speakers with aluminium or plastic housings. The thickness of the material also makes the speaker slightly wider than other similarly equipped devices. At the same time, though, this design also makes it very robust – so it's well-suited to touring. L-brackets for mounting it on walls, ceilings, and stands are included as standard.
Each the box pro Achat 104 is equipped with a 4" woofer and a 1" fabric dome tweeter. Of course, no would expect enormous bass depth with such small components, but with a frequency range of 100Hz–20kHz and a maximum sound pressure of 109dB, the speaker is ideal for spoken word applications or unobtrusive background music. The speaker can be directly connected to an amp or output with sufficient power. In addition to two parallel-wired speaker twist sockets, it has terminal connections for open cable ends, as both inputs and outputs, and the power handling capacity is 40W RMS at an impedance of 8 ohms. However, the power amp's output should ideally be about one-third higher than that, so as to effectively prevent distortion caused by clipping.
