Die SS1 wurde in Kleinst-Serie produziert
Wie bereits ausgeführt, vermuten wir weltweit ehemals 200 bis 250 Stück - mehr werden es nicht gewesen sein, denn mehr Bekloppte (ich hatte ja auch solch eine SS1) scheint es nicht gegeben zu haben. Und entsprechend behelfsmäßig war dann auch die Operation Instruction, die Bedienungsanleitung. Auch die habe ich wiedergefunden, es waren nur 4 fotokopierte A4 Seiten.
Dann schaun wir da mal rein :

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE OPERATION OF THE SERVO-STATIK I
With your purchase of the Servo-Statik I, you now possess the most advanced and sophisticated music reproduction system the world has ever known. This system offers features which indeed obsolete every existing speaker system and will do so for many years to come.
Design features in the Servo-Statik I system which contribute to its outstanding performance include feedback bass, all operational amplifier electronic crossover with separate level controls and electrostatic panels of new design used in a frequency range where they are best suited.
AMPLIFIER SELECTION:
In selecting amplifiers for the Servo-Statik I system, your dealer can give you excellent recommendations, however, a few cardinal points should be considered:
.
- a) Do not skimp on amplification, since this system demands the finest.
- b) At least 60 watts RMS should be used for the midrange sections. Amplifiers such as the Crown DC 300 (in the hysteresis mode), the SAE Mark III, the Marantz 16B or any of the powerful tube amps will work admirably.
- c) The tweeter amplifier should be more modest in power output (20 to 40 watts per channel).
- d) Both midrange and tweeter amplifiers should have excellent stability characteristics and low distortion, especially into capacitive loads.
.
INSTALLATION OF THE SYSTEM:
.
- a) The switch on the'rear of the bass amplifier/electronic crossover should be set on the "3 way" position. If there is no switch the unit will have already been set in the "3 way" mode. Use the separate midrange and tweeter outputs on the control unit.
- b) On the rear of the electrostatic screens,
- 1) Connect the tweeter amp to terminals C and D , (D being amplifier ground).
- 2) Connect the midrange amp to terminals A and B (B being amplifier ground).
- 3) This procedure insures proper phasing with the servo woofer. Do not worry about ground loops as terminals B and D are not tied together.
.
SYSTEM OPERATION:
The system can now be activated and, since the midrange level is pre-set, the bass control and tweeter level control on the front panel can be adjusted for best response in your room. The actual settings of the bass and treble controls are dependent upon the particular amplifiers selected for the midrange and tweeters. Setting ranges are 4-6 for the bass setting and 5-7 for the tweeters. If settings do not fall in these ranges, something in the system is non-operational.
Check to see if both electrostatic screens are plugged into 110 volt outlets and are indeed receiving power. The screens may be left permanently connected to the AC (they draw only a small amount of current), however, some people will prefer to use a switched AC outlet or unplug the units when the speakers will not be used for extended periods of time.
The Servo Bass system can be placed almost anywhere in the room due to its non-directional character, however, most enthusiasts prefer the unit somewhere near the screens. Furthermore, avid organ music enthusiasts may prefer the Servo Bass system near a corner opposing the listening area in order to better couple the extreme low frequencies into the room.
The screens can be floor standing and may even be placed very close to the wall. The most preferable position, however, is to have the screens about one to two feet off the floor and about two feet from the wall. The Servo-Statik I is built for ruggedness and extreme reliability since all aerospace materials and circuitry are utilized throughout to give you trouble free enjoyment of the world's finest music reproduction system.
