Description

Description Freakuence!
The classic B.B.C. sound. Here you are! Full midrange, with excellent timing.
General description
The Stirling Broadcast LS3/5a V3 is a loudspeaker that builds on the qualities of the LS3/5a V2. While retaining the same drivers and thin-walled enclosure, this version introduces a new, high-performance crossover design. This results in even lower distortion and a higher degree of transparency.

The new crossover, designed by Derek Hughes, is significantly larger and incorporates larger components, including precisely tuned air-core coils. This approach eliminates the saturation that often occurs in coils with ferrite or iron cores. In addition, the crossover is mounted on the rear panel, allowing further reduction of distortion.

The LS3/5a V3 retains the distinctive features of its predecessors, but offers an enhanced listening experience thanks to refined technical modifications.

Specifications for the Stirling Broadcast LS3/5a v3
Type: 2-way, 2-driver speaker system Frequency range: 90 Hz to 20 kHz Power handling: 40 W Crossover frequency: 3,500 Hz Impedance: 11 Ω Sensitivity: 82.5 dB Bass: 1 x B110 5″ with Bextrene cone Tweeter: 1 x T27 19 mm Mylar dome Dimensions: 305 x 190 x 165 mm Weight: 4.9 kg
Background information
The Stirling Broadcast LS3/5a v3 is an accurate reissue of the legendary BBC monitor, developed under license from the BBC. Designer Derek Hughes based on original BBC specifications and used the classic KEF T27 tweeter and B110 woofer concept, but with modern SEAS drivers. The cabinet is constructed of 9 mm birch plywood with beech slats for the panels, following the ‘lossy cabinet’ principle. The internal wiring is high quality and hand soldered; the filter is an accurate imitation of the original BBC LS3/5a filter.
Brand history
Stirling Broadcast was founded in 1993 in the United Kingdom. The company acquired a license from the BBC to produce the LS3/5a loudspeaker, a license that was extended to a full production license around 1998. This speaker was initially built using KEF drivers as a reference, but after stopping production of these drivers, Stirling Broadcast developed its own version, known as the LS3/5a V2. This version used specially developed components, including a bass/mid driver by SEAS and a custom tweeter by Scan-Speak. Another reconstruction involved the BBC LS3/6, for which Stirling worked closely with Derek Hughes in developing a new driver with Volt Loudspeakers. The LS3/6 was built to the same acoustic specifications as the original BBC model. All products are assembled and tested by hand in the United Kingdom.

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.

We are having a great time with all the audio and we can share that feeling with most visitors. Yet sometimes there are companions who have no interest in it at all. 
Audio can be stolen from them. 
We also like to make those genes happy.
