=== Height adjustment ===
+
=== Höhenanpassung ===
* For those it is too brilliant, this adjustment exists.
+
* Für diejenigen es zu Brillant ist, besteht diese Anpassung.
* I tried with suction circle, but did not come up with a conclusive solution.
+
* Ich habe es mit Saugkreis versucht, aber kam auf keine schlüssige Lösung.
* Therefore this solution in the path.
+
* Darum diese Lösung im Pfad.
* It's best to put the switches in the back.
+
** Phasenverlauf wird leicht verschlechtert wenn alte Schalter offen.
Phase response is slightly degraded when old switches are open.
+
** Jeder eingeschaltete Schalter bewirkt eine Verbesserung der Phase wieder bis zum Original von Visaton.
Each switched on switch causes an improvement of the phase again up to the original of Visaton.
+
** Amplitudenverlauf Erhöhung möglich in 2 halben Schritten von flach bis auf Original von Visaton.
Amplitude increase possible in 2 half steps from flat to original Visaton.
+
** Wenn Schalter S2 geschlossen, ist sie wieder Original Visaton, alle Werte vom vorhergehend Abschnitt gelten wieder.   
When switch S2 is closed, it is again original Visaton, all values from the previous section apply again.   
+
** Umbaukosten: ca. 10,- Euro/Box
Conversion costs: approx. 10,- Euro/box
 
  
'''Note:'''
 
* I would mechanically split the wire strands between 3.3 uF and 0.33 mH.
 
* And there with wire strands the new parts (S2, 0.15mH, 4.7Ohm, S1, 4.7Ohm) according to the scheme.
 
If necessary, glue the parts to the switch with construction glue. Basta.
 
But don't glue the coils to each other, they have to be as far apart as possible.

== Operation on amplifiers with only 6 Ohm output ==
 
This question came up. One suggestion was to add a resistor upstream on the speaker. If then 2.2Ohm, so that we come over (6Ohm *80%) 4.8Ohm.
 
* I don't think this solution is very good.

My tip '''Pay attention''':

== Bemerkungen ==

Weitere Modelle der gleichen Serie:
These 6Ohm amplifiers are also amplifiers, they also deliver more current with lower impedance loads speak speakers. But these amplifiers heat up faster at 4Ohm, because they are mostly ready-made components that are really designed for a certain current consumption.
 
 
 
Example:
 
 
 
Amplifier 100W/6Ohm nominal data:
 
Voltage output amplifier when 100Watt at 6Ohm = root(100Watt x 6Ohm)= 24.495 Volt
 
Current i=u/r = 24.495 Volt / 6Ohm = 4.082 Ampere
 
 
 
Now with a different speaker:
 
The voltage remains the same with the volume control in the same position:
 
Current I=U/R = 24.495 Volt / 4Ohm = 6.124 Ampere
 
Changed power output: P=U x I = 24.495Volt x 6.124 Ampere = 150 Watt
 
 
 
Heating in the amplifier: Most are class AB amplifiers (Rod Elliot amplifiers) with efficiency n=0.7. So
 
70% comes on the line, 30% is burned in the amplifier.
 
 
 
Before with 6Ohm loudspeaker there were 30Watt in the final amplifier.
 
Now with 4Ohm speakers there are 45Watt in the final amplifier.
 
That is a heat increase of +50%.
 
 
 
And what can you do?
 
Believe me, these amplifiers are already built to the limit. Observation is probably the easiest thing to do. The best thing to do is to put a thermometer on the cooling fins of the amp. I never touch the fins like that. 40°C as a limit? Because the core temperature of the finished components is much higher.
 
I don't know a table of values. The best thing to do is to connect the 6Ohm speakers again, full load for 10 minutes and measure the temperature.
 
 
 
Then do the same with the new ones and slowly increase the load until the same temperature is reached.
 
 
 
Finally you will have the same 100 watt output amp.  And a mark on the volume control, my new maximum position.
 
 
 
That's all I can think of.  But I think you can live with it, if you take it to heart.
