Technical Data
Remarks
The Loewe LB 35 has front, side and rear panels made of 16mm chipboard, which are all covered with foil without wood grain. The closed cabinet is lined with insulation wool. The loudspeaker LOEWE LB 35 without covering
The drivers consist of a noname 16 cm bass-midrange driver (4 Ohm) from Taiwan and a 6 cm cone tweeter from Scanakustik, connected in parallel. The tweeter is only separated from the bass-midrange driver by a capacitor, there is no real crossover. A loudspeaker terminal was also omitted. The rings around the drivers, which show through the front cover, are obviously supposed to imitate metal surrounds, but turn out to be merely painted on when the cover is removed.
The loudspeaker sounds very midrange-oriented. To spare the nerves most owners will have turned up the treble and bass on the amplifier to reduce the midrange. In view of the weak sound, this speaker can only have been intended as a stopgap for customers who were not prepared to spend a higher amount for acceptable speaker quality.
Note: By replacing the bass/midrange driver (165 mm DIN car speakers will fit without problems, just kill the tweeter) the bass and midrange sound can be improved considerably.
