the “GIZMO”

High Fidelity Engineering Company

This product has been designed to im­prove both the frequency balance and
phase response of the Lowther drivers.

Lowthers are wonderfully fast, articulate and very efficient speak­ers that have gained popularity with the rising SET cult around the
world. Their splendor does not come without a price however, be­cause you also get to spend lots of time tweaking the upper
midrange. There is even a name for it, “the Lowther shout”.

To install a crossover on a Lowther to flatten out its response would
defeat the entire reason for owning one. A single full range driver
with no crossover is the most coherent of all known speaker ideals.

Having heard many Lowthers in a variety of different cabinets and
rooms and with various amplifiers I recognized great potential in
their sound, but was always bothered three things:

1 They usually sounded a bit thin and could also be dry.
2 There was a peak in the midrange and lower treble.
3 You had to push them to get the best sound.

IMPEDANCE / PHASE CORRECTION DEVICE

What is it?

How does it

work?

IMPEDANCE / PHASE CORRECTION DEVICE

The “Gizmo” is a special air-gapped transformer wound on a top

quality Grain Oriented Silicon Steel Core with a low impedance pri­mary connected in series with the Lowther driver somewhere between
your amplifier and the loudspeaker. It uses a high impedance sec­ondary shorted across a variable Alps potentiometer. This esoterically
dampens the primary altering the frequency balance and timbre of the
speaker and is fully adjustable!

Out of my own frustration with being teased by my first pair of
DX55’s I came up with a device that to my ears makes a profound
improvement in the sound of Lowther drivers.

This device actually enhances and extends bass response and en­hances and extends the high frequency response as well. Cymbals
sound real for the first time, dynamics also seem to improve. It also
corrects the problem of having the play the speakers loud to get the
best sound and of course fixes that midrange!

The frequency response chart below illustrates an impressive im­provement, but really doesn’t begin to show what this device actually
does to the sound! It certainly will make those Lowthers worth what
you paid for them and then some.
