Altec Model 887A

Altec Capri

1 9 7 0 s 1970s

" Take more than 37 years of unequalled experience in sound reproduction. Then put it all into the engineering of a special two-way system designed to deliver rich, full-range reproduction in the smallest possible sealed enclosure. Now install that system in a hand finished walnut cabinet accented by a fine fabric grille.

What you'll have is Altec's astounding mini-speaker - the 887A Capri. Top rated in its price category by independent testing laboratories, the 887A Capri utilizes an 8-inch frame low frequency loudspeaker with an effective piston area of 35 square inches.

Drawing from Altec's Dynamic Force technology, this powerful bass driver reproduces lows with the kind of strength and body you just don't expect from a speaker of this size and price.

Highs are crisply and accurately defined by a 3 square inch direct radiator that achieves exceptionally wide dispersion and smooth response. In addition, a 2,5Khz crossover network provides a precise, distortion-free transition between high and low frequencies, assuring the best possible musical balance throughout the audible frequency spectrum.

The network also incorporates a continuously variable high frequency shelving control, permitting adjustment of the high frequency transducer to the particular characteristics of the listening room.

A beautifully finished work of fine craftsmanship, the Capri's select walnut cabinet and snap-in fabric grille will easily integrate with any decor.
The Altec 887A Capri. A lot of speaker for the size, a lot of sound for the money.
