The Microphase passive SATs owned by new owner of an active TRITON active subwoofer in Belgium
A few years back, this gentleman got in touch with me through the AudioVintage forum. He had bought and restored a pair of passive SATs from Microphase. We talked further about where to find a subwoofer to match. And it just happened that my good friend Pierre Bréart, the happy proprietor of Audio Conseil in Uccle, one of the most respected dealers in Brussels, as well as one of my best dealers at the time, had bought one back from a customer. And I just found out that the two got together and clinched the deal! The power of the internet and social media!

And now at its new place - at least for the photo
You will find below a few photos of the inside of the beast, including Cabasse 21 cm woofer, modified SAT active amplifier and connectors. And to help this particular fellow and happy new owner of this very rare piece of French Vintage Hifi, I have put together a wiring schematic for his new hybrid system. Very few of these subwoofers were made, so it was quite a surprise for me to find one in such a good condition. When I first got photos from Pierre, I actually didn't remember producing this particular product. So here it is for posterity!

The 100W amplifier, neatly packed in a small package, as it was originally designed to fit in the SATs
The beautiful 21cm bass driver from Cabasse. Very light and stiff membrane black coated on the outside
And now, the whole system back home and ready to play, but for the appropriate wiring...
