The SABA Ultra HiFi Professional 1300 were high-end German loudspeakers manufactured by SABA from 1977 to 1981. Representing the peak of the brand's late-1970s home audio engineering, these heavy acoustic-suspension monitors featured robust 12-inch woofers and premium European components before SABA shifted focus away from traditional high-fidelity separates.

 

Production and Market Era

  • Release window: Introduced around 1977–1978 during the golden age of German-engineered hi-fi components.
  • Original retail price: Rettailed for approximately 648 German Marks (DM) per unit.
  • End of an era: Represented one of the last grand, no-expense-spared loudspeaker lines built before financial constraints and shifting market trends led SABA to restructure and phase out standalone high-end audio production. 

     

    Design and Technical Build

    • Enclosure: Heavy wooden cabinet construction (25 mm wall thickness) weighing roughly 20 kg to 22 kg per speaker. These units are covered in grey capet-like acoustical material.
    • Driver array: Three-way system housing a massive 310 mm (12-inch) VG Acoustics woofer with an aluminum basket, a 130 mm mid-range dome, and dual high-frequency tweeters made by Philips.
    • Crossover & control: Features crossover frequencies at 485 Hz and 3,400 Hz alongside a front treble localizator/potentiometer to fine-tune high-frequency response.
    • Performance: Handled 70W nominal (130W max) power with a frequency response spanning 20 to 25,000 Hz under DIN 45500 standard.
