(Reference loudspeaker with Scan Speak drivers displayed in Hobby HiFi 4-2007)
Technical data - rated SPL: 85 dB (2.83V, 1m) - frequency range (-3dB): 30 - >40 kHz - impedance: 6 Ohm - crossover frequencies: 150, 2200 Hz - size (HxWxD): 105 x 26 x 42 cm - speaker type: bass reflex
Faktum is a loudspeaker with high quality drivers and crossover components by Mundorf with an incorporated Helmholtz absorber. This absorber is a small case that suppresses unwanted resonance.
The crossover is located in a separate compartment in the upper part of the cabinet to ensure protection against vibration originating from the bass driver.
Excerpt of the review by Hobby HiFi 4/2007
... "The Faktum showed a scintillating naturalness in our listening room letting us forget about the physical speakers. The music not only detached itself from the speakers, there didn't seem to be a connection at all between sound and cabinets. The Scan Speak - Mundorf combination displayed a three-dimensionality with immense depth and width. All musicians were place optimally and in-between them lots of airy space. Vivaldi's Four Seasons played by "Senatori De La Gioiosa Marca" was a real treat. The unique characteristics of these original instruments was reproduced magnificently. The "Jazz Variants" by the O-Zone percussion Group revealed a spirit that we only experienced with our super loudspeakers Audimax and Optimum*). The Faktum didn't have the dynamics displayed by those super speaker, but were still exceptional, especially considering the cabinet size."
Verdict by Hobby HiFi: "These speakers are outstanding. The characteristics of all components are emphasised. And never before was it possible to differentiate that clearly between the qualities of crossover components. The Faktum is right at the top together with Optimum*) and Audimax."
*) Optimum is a colossal speaker measuring 176 x 45 x 57 cm
