Exceptional sound production for large rooms
The large loudspeaker from SoundBy PointSource is a high quality two-way loudspeaker, consisting of a bass/midrange unit and a tweeter. Both are designed to have high power handling and details to let the large speaker produce high sound pressure levels yet still produce an impressive sound image. The drivers are specially paired to get a uniform and coherent sound image. These drivers are aided by the addition of a high quality crossover filter with an air coil and top quality components.
The large loudspeaker uses a 203mm bass/midrange driver with a semi-pressed paper diaphragm containing papyrus from Egypt, and the surface is coated to damp unwanted resonances in the midrange. The use of a semi-hard-pressed paper cone in the SoundBy PointSource large loudspeaker was selected after extensive testing by some of the World’s leading audio engineers. A large voice coil and magnet is also used to allow more power production at low frequencies.
The tweeter uses a smaller voice coil and fixed dome to enhance mid-range frequencies. This moves the break-ups and resonances up in frequency. The result is a tweeter that matches the power handling of the bass while gaining a phenomenal, high resolution and natural upper midrange and treble – these design features are especially noticeable when listening to guitars and other string instruments.
To further increase the loudspeaker's performance, the designers added a copper sleeve inside the magnet system to reduce distortion. This solution works well throughout the sound spectrum and especially so at the higher frequencies.
Tweeter Auto-protection
The tweeter in the SoundBy PointSource large loudspeaker is equipped with a high-pass filter and an auto-fuse which shuts down the treble unit at overloading. Functionality is automatically returned after a 30 second pause. Combined, these safety features protect the speaker from extensive overloading.
Danish Design
The simple and yet elegant loudspeaker cabinets designed by SoundBy PointSource are made from environmentally sustainable 12mm MDF. From the beginning of the design process, the engineers and designers took great care to select manufacturing processes and materials that eliminate or greatly reduce potential harm to the environment.
The cabinet measures 402 x 320 x 245mm and is optimised together with the mechanical and acoustical parameters of the driver and with the bass reflex port.
The bass reflex tuning frequency is tuned to 30Hz in order to extend the bass response at the lower frequencies without overloading the driver.
Retro-fitting into Montana Furniture
SoundBy PointSource engineers add foam pads between the loudspeaker cabinet and the Montana furniture. These have two functions:
1. To ensure mechanical decoupling of the loudspeaker from the furniture.
2. To damp unwanted resonances in the cabinet, which normally would generate distortion and thereby an unwanted colouring of the sound.
The SoundBy PointSource large loudspeaker has been specifically designed with the Montana designers to fit perfectly into the ‘6*8’ Montana cabinets.

Setup
How to install the loudspeakers in the Montana Furniture?
- The loudspeakers are fitted with foampads on the top and the bottom which fits perfectly in the Montana furniture mounting plates. Please see our complete guide for easy and correct installations of the speakers.
Does it matter which way I turn the loudspeaker?
- No. The loudspeakers can be placed on vertically or horizontially. The foam pads mounted on the bottom are higher than the others which ensures that no matter how it is turned around, there will always be the correct opening at the bottom. This is needed for the bass reflex port on the medium and large loudspeakers model.
- If the speakers are mounted sideways, it is often best to place the woofers towards each other and the tweeters away from each other. This ensures that the tweeters are placed farthest from eachother which gives a wider stereo perspective.
Troubleshoot
When I play really loud, suddenly only the bass can be heard. Is my speaker broken?
- The speakers are equipeed with a thermal protection circuit which automatically turns off the tweeter when there is a risk that it will be damaged due to heat. In this case, turn down the volume on the amplifier and after around 20 seconds the tweeter has cooled down and will start playing again.
- In case the tweeter does not work after 20 seconds, turn off the amplifier and wait half an hour before turning it on again. If the tweeter is still not working, please contact our support team on support@pointsource.dk.
Only one of the speakers are working. What to do?
- First check that the cable between the amplifier and the loudspeaker is probably connected and that the loudspeaker terminals is touching the core wire.
- Try to switch left / right speaker cables around on the amplifier to see if the problem is with the loudspeaker or with the amplifier. Is it still the same speaker that is not working?
- If there still is a problem and it is still the same speaker that does not work, please contact our support team on support@pointsource.dk.
