Cerwin-Vega Vintage Speakers

Turn Up the Volume on Cerwin-Vega Vintage Speakers

Cerwin-Vega speakers are designed for bass performance and reproducibility of the full spectrum of sound. Vintage stereo speakers from this brand are designed to offer a way to add an authentic touch to a classic sound system. You can also add unique Cerwin-Vega vintage speakers to a brand-new digital sound system after you purchase them on eBay.

Vintage Cerwin-Vega equipment is constructed with a full set of audio components designed to reproduce entire recordings from the high notes to the low notes. Cerwin-Vega sometimes includes specialty parts like an amplifier. When you purchase a new set of vintage Cerwin-Vega three-way speakers, it will likely include at least the following components attached to a foam base on the main box:

• Main speakers
• Sound board
• Audio jacks
• Subwoofer
• Woofer

Note that customers might find that their vintage Cerwin-Vega loudspeakers have a pair of woofer or subwoofer roundels that work somewhat like an amplifier. This woofer assembly helps Cerwin-Vega loudspeakers hit all the low notes by allowing the main speakers to focus on high notes. If the Cerwin-Vega equipment has a pair of extra roundels, then you might not need an external amplifier to add extra audio power. A pair of full-sized Cerwin-Vega tower speakers with this kind of equipment can produce a high surround-sound cone.

Most of these sets of speakers feature 40 watts of power. Every box of speakers comes with individually powered connections. Cerwin-Vega uses standard equipment on powered speakers, which means you can use the same speaker wire you would use with any other vintage audio equipment and get the same performance out of your Cerwin-Vega electronics.

When you purchase used or preowned Cerwin-Vega speakers on eBay, you may notice that some people have re-foamed the area behind the grill on their AT-12 speakers. This means that people will take the backing from a tweeter or subwoofer and add it to the main assembly that holds the speakers to get a different frequency response out of the passive electronics. Others have never done any kind of repair job on their Cerwin-Vega boxes. The difference in this feature is essential if you want to collect vintage subwoofer equipment in its original condition. You might want this sort of powered Cerwin-Vega tower if you are looking for an authentic experience.

Cerwin-Vega equipment works with any digital amplifier that allows you to use a standard speaker wire. If the speakers are not in the original condition, then you might consider wiring a digital power port to the back of them as well. You can also attach two pieces of wire to the back of your speakers and then attach the other end to a small jack so that you do not have to modify the body of the speaker in any way. Each Cerwin-Vega set of speakers may have a slightly different procedure, so refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
