“Four Cheese High”

It is a tradition at ABACUS that loudspeakers impress with their grown-up sound despite their compact dimensions. With the C-Box 3 (and earlier the C-Box 2) this is always particularly clear. This is probably also the reason why the small loudspeaker – actually purchased for the desk – often have to be used for comparisons with the main system and not infrequently question it.

Even though the mini box was used here and there as a full-fledged system, the desire for a little more was often expressed – just so much more that it can also provide sound for a small living room. This was reason enough to simply scale up the virtues of the C-Box 3 by a few percent and develop the C-Box 4 based on the same electronics and very similar speaker drivers. The result was hardly less astonishing than the first C-Box 2 prototypes, but once again it sounded unexpectedly “big”, what the small boxes gave off.

In order to be as flexible in placement as the “3s”, the C-Box 4 was also threaded in the base, but with a 3/8″ thread due to its heavier weight, so that it fits on all common microphone stands. Here, the ABACUS portfolio was supplemented accordingly with high-quality solutions from König & Meyer, which are known for their high standards in studio and stage technology.
