Heathkit AS-1348 (1979)
Little is documented about the Heathkit AS-1348. It's one of the more obscure entries in Heathkit's speaker line. The Archive's holdings on it come down to a couple of period directory listings.
The record is mostly a single spec block. High Fidelity's 1980 equipment directory (1980, p.162) appears to list the AS-1348 as an 8-ohm speaker with a 2 kHz crossover, 10-watt minimum and 75-watt maximum power ratings, and system fusing. The same entry says impedance holds between 6.5 and 8.5 ohms from 100 Hz to 100 kHz. It also says the tweeter gap is filled with ferrofluid, so the tweeter is fluid-cooled. Together with the 2 kHz crossover, that suggests a two-way design.
The earlier HI-Fi-Stereo-Buyers speaker roundup (May 1978, p.45) covers other Heathkit speakers of the period. One is the three-way AS-1363, with a 10-inch woofer, a midrange element, and a 1-inch dome tweeter. The surviving copy doesn't capture the AS-1348. No manual, original price, or production details have surfaced yet.
Known from the period directory listing:
- Nominal impedance: 8 ohms (6.5–8.5 Ω from 100 Hz to 100 kHz)
- Crossover: 2
