Design Features

The 35ASDS-017 acoustic system is made in the form of two structurally interconnected blocks - low-frequency and mid-high-frequency. The body of the low-frequency unit is made in the form of a rectangular non-demountable box made of chipboard, veneered with valuable wood veneer. The thickness of the case walls is 18 mm; the front panel, in order to increase its rigidity, is made of a 38 mm thick plate. The 75GDN-Z head, manufactured by PRZ, Ivano-Frankovsk and installed on the front panel of the case, is used as a low-frequency electrodynamic link in the 35ASDS-017. The head is framed by a decorative ring-shaped trim with four fastening lugs made of coated plastic. On the front panel of the low-frequency block housing, in addition to the head, there is a 70 mm bass reflex hole - the outlet of a plastic pipe 180 mm long. The geometric dimensions of the bass reflex determine its setting at a frequency of 25 - 30 Hz.

The internal volume of the low-frequency unit is 45 liters. To reduce the impact on the frequency response of sound pressure and the sound quality of speakers from the resonances of the internal volume of the housing, the latter is filled with a sound absorber, which is mats of technical wool, covered with gauze, evenly spaced and fixed to the internal walls of the housing. An electric filter is mounted inside the low-frequency unit housing on a steel chassis, providing electrical separation of the low-frequency speaker band from the mid- and high-frequency ones.


The basic electrical circuit of the filter makes it possible to obtain a frequency response decline in the mid-frequency region of 6 dB per octave and a crossover frequency of 500 Hz.

The mid- and high-frequency unit consists of two parts - the power supply and the mid- and high-frequency emitters themselves. Two mid-frequency and two high-frequency electrostatic emitters are mounted on a flat frame mounted on the power supply. Each of the emitters is a thin (5 µm thick) metallized lavsan film stretched between two perforated plates (electrodes) made of foil-clad fiberglass laminate grade SF1-35, coated with 200 µm thick varnish UR231 to prevent electrical breakdown with high polarizing voltage. The polarizing voltage creates a uniform electrostatic voltage between the plates, in which the thin film oscillates (when an electric signal of audio frequency is passed through). Hermetic dimensions of each emitter: mid-frequency 185x165 mm, high-frequency 65x165 mm.

The power supply housing on the board contains:

  • a polarizer providing a constant polarizing voltage for the high-frequency emitter - 1.1 kV, for the mid-frequency emitter 2.2 kV;
  • two transformers providing the supply of an electrical audio signal to the mid- and high-frequency emitters, and at the same time the electrical separation of the mid- and high-frequency bands of the speakers;
  • The mid-frequency bandpass transformer has a transformation ratio of 240, and the high-frequency band transformer has 160. The crossover frequency between these bands is 4000 Hz;
  • network transformer providing power supply from an alternating voltage network of 50 Hz, 220 V to the polarizer. Electrical power consumption is no more than 8 W.

On the front panel of the power supply there are:

  • power button with ON indicator;
  • knob for smoothly adjusting the level of high frequencies HF TIMBER, allowing for the rise and fall of the frequency response of sound pressure from 4 kHz within ±3 dB from the NORM position.

In addition, there is a decorative nameplate on the front panel indicating the name of the speaker and its main technical characteristics.

The front panels of the low- and mid-high-frequency units, as well as the back of the mid-high-frequency unit, are covered with frames with decorative radio fabric.

On the back wall of the speaker unit's LF housing there are special terminals that allow you to connect supply wires to the speakers.

Literature:

  1. Description and electrical diagram of the Escort system.

First, a few terms in case you don’t know them:
HF - high frequency speaker;
MF - mid-frequency speaker;
LF - low frequency speaker;

As I already wrote, I bought the speakers second-hand in order to slightly modernize them and listen to, if possible, the entire range of musical recordings, and not their middle.
It is clear that in your mind you need either large, good speakers, which are expensive, or a “musical” subwoofer, which is also expensive.
In general, I decided to go “my own way” - buy old Soviet speakers and improve them in every sense. The choice fell on Amfiton 25AS-027 due to its relatively small size, sufficient power for any apartment and isodynamics in the HF part. I bought it “blindly” in Zlatoust and made a mistake, but not fatally, because... in the Jobur market everything has been occupied by “hucksters” in all meanings of the word and they charge at least double the price.


These speakers initially have two disadvantages.
The first is the compact size; in order to get low frequencies with such a volume (only 41 liters), the lowest-quality “soft” woofer speaker (50GDN) was installed there, and in order to get “elastic” bass from it, the body needs to be heavily damped. Also because of this, the speed of air flow coming out of the bass reflex is very high and “wheezing/wheezing” can be heard.
The second is the narrow directionality of the sound of the tweeter. I have already forgotten how narrow it is, but I had to remember. It is very desirable that your ears are in line with them. But for this you get clean highs up to 31 kHz, which for many was worth this inconvenience. A more or less wide listening beam is obtained from about 3 meters from the speakers. The funny thing is that according to the instructions, the speakers should be placed on a platform that has an inclination angle of ~15° in order to direct the HF radiation upward, but no one has seen these stands with their own eyes. :)))


Taking the speakers from a friend who bought them, I listened to them, the only verdict was - “they play, they don’t “rustle” the low frequencies (the coil on the magnetic system) and that’s good.” In principle, I was ready for this, because... I read on the Internet many options for modernization and they all primarily related to two things: the leakiness of the case and the midrange speaker, which was “none” in this column, and it is responsible for the most important part of the sound range, where almost everything that a person hears is located own life. Almost all 3-way (LF/MF/HF) Soviet speakers had a common problem - a poor mid-range speaker. Everyone had different ways of selecting them and matching them with the LF and HF speakers. In this column, the SCH 20GDS-3-8 is, to put it mildly, bad and needs to be changed. There are many replacement options, from one of the best Soviet midrange speakers 30 GDS-1 (found in Cleavers, Corvettes 150AC, etc., etc.) to a wideband speaker, which worked well for us, or replacement with a foreign analogue with unpredictable consequences, because You can't just go and replace the speaker. :)))

I decided to take a chance and choose a replacement myself. I bought a pair of 30GDS second-hand and at Audiomania a Visaton 13/8 mid-bass speaker recommended by many.
Having compared the sound quality of these three copies alone, I chose Vizaton.
20 GDS-3-8- The midrange is shifted to the low-frequency part (rubber suspension) and the clarity/sharpness of sounds is the smallest of the presented speakers.


30 GDS-1-8 - the midrange range, on the contrary, is shifted to the high frequency part (impregnated paper suspension). The game is sharp and tough, but you can’t overload it, it immediately starts to hiss and make a mess.


Vizaton 13/8 is a certain sum of the first two plus “transparent” sound." For an ordinary person, compared to 30 GDS, this will be lost money, as they wrote on the Audiomania website: "I took a 25GDS as a replacement in Amfitony, I won’t say that the order is not better than relatives, but these ones have a more open sound, there is no horn effect, they play the highs better, they are the same in sensitivity, and I think there are no better speakers to replace the 25 GDS."
Those. The difference is in the nuances. But the difference between 20 GDS-3 and Vizaton is very significant... for me at least.
Having dealt with the replacement of the midrange, I took up the body. The body needed to be patched because... Having turned on the trance on the speakers with a lot of lows, the case “whistled”, “hissed” and the back wall hummed loudly. According to the recommendations, I filled all the seams with PVA with a reserve, it took 4 days with drying. Then I covered all the walls with guerlain (this is a vibration isolator) which was left over from the “modernization” of the computer case and covered it with wavy foam rubber to remove standing waves. The body stopped humming and decided not to do any spacers.
A few photos from disassembly.

The time has come to deal with the separation filter, one of the most difficult problems for a person ignorant of them. There is such a range of opinions on this subject on the Internet that it is shocking. :) From "don't touch anything! This was done by professionals!!!" to "Everything needs to be recalculated, but it’s better to throw the columns in the trash!!! Amen."

Knowing firsthand how and what was in our long-suffering electronics (not military!!!), I decided to take the middle path: try to understand the operation of the filter and configure it as I needed with minimal changes. And when comparing with the circuit in the passport, I saw the differences I expected with the real circuit in the hardware.

I'll drift off to the side a little. In Soviet times, if a conveyor belt was established, it was almost impossible to make amendments, because There are passports and approved technical regulations from which there is “no step”. And that's exactly how it was. It worked on both sides: the customer received a repeatable copy, and the low technical level on the assembly line made it possible to repeat all this in millions of copies. And the developments were done in “all sorts of” institutes, naturally “on the knee” by all sorts of “insane” teams and individuals. Who cares? . It was the same story with the speakers. This is to understand how it was created. I know all this because... My father works in electronics and went through all this himself... and is still faced with it. :)

So there was a problem with these speakers - the isodynamic HF speakers often burned out. because it was strained with cooling, and the membrane material of the “coil” could not withstand the resulting temperature at maximum power and was deformed, and due to the poor midrange link, the mid-frequency range was also “hung” on the HF, and the Soviet people liked to listen at maximum volume. As a result, warranty returns and tweeter repairs became so frequent that they began to look for a way out, but without deviating from the existing regulations with a minimum of costs, because No one will allow high frequency processing, and the necessary material was not available then. The solution was found in installing a resistor in series with the HF speaker and increasing the resistance of the resistor on the midrange. As a result, the high-frequency “burning” stopped, but the sound quality suffered quite a lot. As I already said, a person in this range hears almost any distortion. This is how they “saved” the speakers for production, but the sound was ruined, but they considered it acceptable.
Here is the diagram of the column crossover filter:

There is only one resistor in this diagram, but here is what is actually in the column:

As you can see, there are two of them here and the second one, which is not on the diagram, is connected in series with the RF head to reduce the input power, the resistance is 2 Ohms, the dependence (as I subtracted) is approximately 0.7 Ohms per 1 dB, i.e. attenuation is -3dB, which is quite strong. And let me remind you that it is not shown in the diagram.
What happens to the HF head if it is “raped” for a long time?..
This is the "ideal" that should be

But this is what happens after violence.

The entire surface is covered with waves due to thermal stress. BUT this also happens in the new dynamics of the “perestroika” period, when the quality of production seems to have dropped significantly.


I pulled the filter out and began to bring it “to the passport”. I replaced the midrange speaker and removed both resistors from the circuits. I turned it on to listen and, lo and behold, everything became fine. But the mid-high frequency range began to “stick out” to the foreground and their level had to be lowered with an L-attenuator....
After looking through all sorts of crossover options, I settled on this one:

Using the selection method, I selected the required attenuation of the high-frequency and mid-range speakers. I did not attenuate the HF, but made it -6 dB for the midrange.
I also removed the jumper and the grille from the HF head, as a result the HF level still began to stick out, but for now I left it as is and started remaking another speaker. In the second column I found the collector’s passport!

The 25AC-126 speakers were left over from the old player; they were not used much, almost like a museum exhibit. But a couple of years ago they got me hooked on tube sound, there was nothing else (the S-90s were long gone), and so it began.....
I have them like this.

I apologize to the experts if something is wrong, I am writing based on personal feelings. And so, the first sensations were not very good - the absence of lows, and the ear-piercing squeal of the mids, with highs it was simpler. Refinement began, it didn’t all work out the first dozen times, I had to take it apart often and a lot until I got something acceptable.

Now, in order;
We remove the front panel, unscrew the speakers and remove them, carefully. We check their serviceability, I had one 3GD-31 that was burnt, we carefully check the woofer and midrange speakers for clinging to the core with a coil or wedge, we check the quality of gluing of the diffuser and centering washer to the body of the woofer, my centering washer was torn off in places, which sometimes gave an incomprehensible overtone, revealed only by visual inspection of the speaker under “load” with a bass melody, it’s not visible.

Also check the quality of the flexible conductors going to the speaker cone; they break off at the base of the mount; if there is any suspicion, it is better to repair or replace it immediately.

We take out the board with filters, it will need to be redone, we take out the cotton wool, if it was there.
That's it, the box is empty, we inspect it, pour out all sorts of sawdust, shavings and garbage from there. We tap the case with a rubber hammer, listen to it so that there is no rattling, if something rattles, we eliminate it with epoxy glue (cracks, etc.), glue it, fill all the cracks there and the joints of the case along the perimeter with epoxy glue, give it time to harden.

In the dome where the midrange speaker was located, we remove something similar to glass wool (I had this) and throw it away. We take a strip of foam rubber about 1 cm thick and about 5 cm wide and with this we wrap (dampen) the holes of the basket at the midrange speaker (15GD-11A or the new 20GDS1-8), fill the dome without tamping with synthetic padding polyester, 70-80% in volume, solder good copper wires to the speaker, not forgetting the polarity, insert the speaker into the dome with a small supply of wires inside the dome, release the wires with a reserve through the hole at the back of the dome and carefully seal this hole with silicone glue (sanitary silicone sealant), let it dry.
LET THE SPECIALISTS NOT HIT ME ON THE HEAD WITH A SPEAKER, but I soaked the midrange driver’s diffuser with a very liquid solution of rubber glue on kerosene, it began to sound less like an enamel basin. We do the same with the second speaker.
We disassemble the filter board, remember which coil is from which speaker, and assemble it according to the diagram below.

Wires must be good, copper, with a cross-section of at least 2.5 mm2, especially for LF and input.
The values ​​of the elements are indicated in the diagram, all mostly original parts.

We make the L1 coil ourselves, take iron from TVZ, TVK or the like, wind 55 turns of wire from which the original coil was made, select the gap to get the required inductance, I got about 1 mm, fasten everything together, impregnate this structure with varnish or epoxy resin so that nothing would ring. The rest of the coils are "original".

We glue exactly the same magnet to the magnet of the low-frequency speaker, so that they PUSH away from each other, this does not give much, about 1 dB of sensitivity, but it was noticeable to my hearing.
I glued it with two types of adhesives, some of it was coated with Super Moment for quick setting so that it wouldn’t last half a day, some with regular Moment. We eliminate the connector on the rear wall; I used a “direct” connection, plugging this hole with sealant (silicone) and strengthening it with a plug in the form of a fiberglass plate on top.

We put the filter in place and connect it. We line all the walls inside the box with padding polyester 4 cm thick, so that it does not fall under the woofer speaker diffuser, and add a little more at the top (we don’t use “native” cotton wool). We put all the speakers in their places using sealant, and we also fasten the front panels with sealant so that they don’t ring.
If the speakers have small holes in the decorative panel, then it is better not to use them.

As a result of all the work done, the speakers turned out to have a very good sound. The music and pieces of music that I had never listened to before, with the converted speakers, I heard them in a new way and listened to everything with pleasure, in a room about 4.2 x 4.2 m.
But I think from my feelings that for better sound quality, you still need to increase the volume of these speakers, up to 50 liters.
Two more pairs of S-90s were subjected to similar modifications, but there were slightly different points. If anyone is interested, I’ll tell you in another article.

PS. What are called audio wires in the store, and they call it oxygen-free copper at a price of about 50 rubles per meter - in fact, it turns out that copper-plated aluminum is not of the best quality. Take this into account. It can be checked simply; after scraping the copper from the conductors, they turn white.
