Sound characteristics & Use;

The 22RH481 is known in the vintage audio community for its warm, balanced mid-tones and a surprisingly tight bass response for the compact size. Because it is a widebander (without a separate woofer and tweeter), the speaker excels especially in reproducing voices and acoustic music.

Thanks to the high efficiency of the AD5061 driver, these boxes perform excellently in combination with light, vintage Philips amplifiers (such as the RH series from the same period) or modern compact class-D amplifiers (using a DIN-to-screw-terminal adapter).
