Falcon Acoustics R.A.M Studio ST 10 Bookshelf Speakers
1 800,00 €
Falcon Acoustics R.A.M Studio ST 10 speakers are passive bookshelf models for stereo and compatible home cinema systems. A 150 mm polypropylene-cone driver reproduces the bass and midrange, while a 25 mm soft dome handles the high frequencies. The nominal 8-ohm impedance helps determine amplifier suitability. External amplification is essential because the speakers have no built-in amplifier or volume control.
Falcon Acoustics R.A.M Studio ST 10 bookshelf speakers are a two-way model for stereo and compatible home cinema systems. A 150 mm polypropylene-cone driver reproduces the bass and midrange, while a 25 mm soft-dome driver handles the high frequencies. The nominal 8-ohm impedance is an important consideration when choosing an amplifier, and the 4 mm connection determines the required cable termination.
Purpose, connection and system setup
These are passive loudspeakers, so they do not have a built-in amplifier or separate volume control. They require an external power amplifier or a suitable AV receiver. Volume, source selection, channel balance and other system settings are controlled by the connected electronics.
In a stereo system, the two speakers connect to the amplifier’s left and right channels. In a home cinema system, each speaker must likewise be connected to its own amplified receiver channel.
The rear panel is fitted with specially designed, nickel-plated binding posts. The specified connection size is 4 mm. Speaker cable terminated with compatible 4 mm plugs may be used. The cable connects to the dedicated speaker outputs on an amplifier or AV receiver.
A line-level RCA output, digital output or headphone output cannot drive these speakers directly. A power amplifier is required, and it must be suitable for a nominal 8-ohm load.
For an initial stereo setup, place both speakers at the same height and at symmetrical distances from the main listening position. Begin with the channel balance set to neutral. Adjust it only after you have tested a symmetrical speaker arrangement.
Two-way acoustic design
This bass-reflex loudspeaker uses two drivers assigned to different parts of the frequency range. The 150 mm driver has a polypropylene cone and reproduces the low and mid frequencies. A specially designed 25 mm tweeter with a soft dome handles the high frequencies.
The stated frequency range extends from 35 Hz to 35 kHz, but no tolerance is specified. This figure should therefore be compared only with data for other speakers measured under equivalent conditions. Frequency limits alone do not indicate how a speaker will sound in a particular room.
Cabinet and interchangeable finishes
The cabinet is covered in natural black leather. Its interchangeable side panels are finished in real wood veneer. The listed finish choices are walnut, burr walnut and gloss black, allowing the visible part of the cabinet to be coordinated with room furnishings and other audio equipment.
Each speaker weighs 10 kg and requires a strong, stable stand rated for that load. A suitably sized supporting surface helps keep the cabinet secure. The model itself is a standmount loudspeaker.
Positioning in the room
The main cabinet is 280 mm deep. The grille and binding posts add another 12 mm, so a shelf or stand must provide at least approximately 292 mm of physical depth. Additional space must also be left behind the speaker for the connected cable and its plug.
Adjust the distance from walls and room corners in small steps. Moving the speakers farther away from nearby surfaces may reduce excessive bass. Move the left and right speakers by equal amounts so that the symmetry of the stereo image is not disturbed.
Understanding the power and sensitivity figures
A 15-100 W power range is stated, but the measurement method is not defined. This figure must not be described as RMS, continuous, maximum or short-term power. Choose an amplifier according to the nominal 8-ohm load and the listening levels at which the system will be used.
Sensitivity is specified as 89 dB, measured with a 2.83 V input at a distance of one metre. When comparing several models, the measurement conditions must be the same. Figures quoted at different voltages or distances are not directly equivalent.

FAQ
Can the speakers be connected directly to a music player?
No. They require an amplifier or AV receiver with amplified speaker outputs. A line-level source does not provide the necessary power.
What kind of amplifier is required?
The amplifier must be suitable for a nominal 8-ohm load. The stated 15-100 W figure should not be treated as either an RMS rating or a maximum power rating.
What cable should I use?
Use speaker cable connected to the amplifier’s speaker outputs. The binding posts accept compatible 4 mm cable plugs.
Is this model suitable for a home cinema system?
Yes, provided that the AV receiver supports a nominal 8-ohm load. Each speaker must be connected to its own dedicated amplified channel.
How deep must the shelf or stand be?
It must provide at least approximately 292 mm of depth. You must also leave an additional, unspecified amount of space for the cable plug.
How should I begin adjusting the speaker position?
Place both speakers at the same height and symmetrically in relation to the listening position. Change their distance from the walls in small, equal steps.
What should I consider when choosing stands?
Each stand must safely support a 10 kg speaker. Its top plate must provide a stable base for the 210 × 280 mm cabinet footprint.
