Closer Acoustics OGY Bass Extension Unit
CLOSER ACOUSTICS LAUNCH OGY BASS EXTENSION UNIT
The Polish HiFi brand has launched the Closer Acoustics OGY Bass Extension Unit to pair with their OGY bookshelf speakers.
The Closer Acoustics OGY Bass Extension Unit is not a subwoofer, but an open baffle bass unit for OGY.
Designed as a combination of an open baffle bass unit and stand for the OGY, the Closer Acoustics OGY Bass Extension Unit does just exactly what it says on the tin and adds more oomph in the bass department to their diminutive OGY speaker.

CLOSER ACOUSTICS OGY BASS EXTENSION UNIT
Closer Acoustics used only one coil with 1,6 mm wire cutting the signal from 125 down by 6dm per octave. The coils is soldered directly to the pole terminal. All connections are cut to a minimum. With the open baffle this small they went for an H-frame solution, and after a few iterations of woodworking the final result was created.
EMS B12 BASS DRIVER
The EMS B12 is a 12″ or 31 cm diameter paper cone driver with a very stiff suspension. It is mounted from behind and only touches the baffle with a felt seal.
Its efficiency of 94 dB makes it possible to match acoustically with OGY without any additional crossover parts.
THE FULL OGY
The connection to the amplifier is very simple: either you can you use bi-wiring, two separate cables form the amplifier to the OGY and its Bass or you can use one cable and a jumper that connects pole terminals of both.
