[quote user="haralanov"] Also instead of using electrical tape, try to seal the back of the driver with a 2mm thick sheet of microperforated tonewood and then glue a leather layer over it. Then you could also pierce multiple tiny holes in the leather...

There are at least three benefits of using a compression chamber in a tapped horn design.1.) When using push-pull woofers with a compression chamber second order distortion is cancelled. This effect is very audible. You must hear it to understand...

I also disagree. You circumvent the whole theory if compression drivers. The whole point in a compression driver is that anything in back chamber is irrelevant. Haralanov, all that you need to do is to make your own experiments, the practical exper...

The idea of high quality delay makes me wonder if the delay effectively increases the virtual length of the room - allowing longer wavelengths before the room Schroeder frequency is reached. This would be a "softer" bass without the room compression....

[quote user="Bud"]Just so you know about these folks. go to this site and page down for a bit till you find the horn installation topic. http://www.royaldevice.com/custom3.htm [/quote]Yes, the Royal Device’s horn is well know horn. Sure the enth...

Ygoh, Most of compression drivers have phase plug. A phase plug is very genomic center line oriented devise. A phase plug must be parallel to diaphragms and perpendicular to the axis of the driver. Practically all compression drivers have beggin...

This there is the last in the “THE PROBLEMS WITH HORNS” cycle. The previous threads might be found at:
Problems with horns: tweeters.Problems with horns: mid-range horns.Problems with horns: mid-range drivers.
This would be probably the most contro...

[quote user="anthony"]It is a compression driver with an 8" cone. If you want authority at 300Hz you will need diaphragm area. The Fane Studio 8M that Romy and plenty of others use for 100Hz up to 1kHz is an 8" cone driver on a 4" throat with a clo...

Audio Federation have publish some images from the Silbatone room at CES, even it is in their new idiotic format of the “magazine” but they still visible.

What attracted me in the images is to see wh...

[quote user="haralanov"] Congratulations you have found and use this principle, otherwise the back chamber acts like pneumatic brake for the lower working range of the diaphragm! [/quote] Actually it shall act as “pneumatic brake” in a compression dr...

Here is a homework to you: provide answers to the following questions:

FM is Analog Signal Processing vs DSP. The compression aspect is only really intrusive on orchestral works. Pop and jazz are already compressed and chamber music presents a more limited dynamic range if not limited contrast. But on the evidence most ...

[quote user="be"] "another big selling point to me was the 505 being a low resonance compression driver.. there just aren't many drivers with a resonance in the 80 to 100 Hz range like this driver... I have just begun my playing, but am already quite...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]One of the emails that I receive is very interesting. The author warns: “...when experimenting with throaths I found that if the compression is big, near 2 or higher you get some big, smooth, unfocused aqualung sound. You...

[quote user="Michaelz"]Some drivers have a rising db curve from low to high frequencies. The horn may help with flattening the FR. If the FR of a given coaxial compression driver is flat, I would agree with your conclusion.[/quote]Mi...

[quote user="ygoh"] 1.) Why is it that you do not support using teo compression drivers in the same throat? Is the distortions increases, such as wavefront distortion? [/quote]Sure the wavefront gets spread; it is what Wilson does in his ...

They have a 17cm throats so in most cases it is better to get the version with 2" throat for compression drivers, shorten them for the right throat size and build a chamber yourself....

I have heard some nice speakers in Germany using the Mundorf Air Motion Transformers. No saliva, ample "substance" in their tone and a very nice integration.http://www.mundorf.com/AMTnews/MUNDORF_PRO_AMT_FLYER_2012.pdfhttp://www.enjoythemusic.com/sup...

[quote user="be"]They mention an intricate back chamber for the high frequency unit, maybe thats the primary function of the tube, apart from positioning the unit relative to the rest.[/quote]

Robin, of course I meant to say above that the Heils are equivocal when pressed, and no reason for me to think a compression chamber mosh with another driver would improve this quality; but I am just guessing. It would certainly be interesting i...

If you ask me the compression drivers is like the jbl 2420/2470 design only with an other back chamber. And the low freq driver really makes me think of an old alnico driver of jbl 2220A http://www.lansingheritage.org/images/jbl/specs/pro-comp/2420/p...

I have seen Beyma rewrite their specs when they redo a driver and even add a letter to the driver for that change, even if it is the same driver.Now I have seen variable FS responses form different drivers of the same model also. I was joking with a...

[quote user="be"]"the cavities behind the coil are not the cavities where pressure passes"
Yes, but the speach coil and diphragm can "see" the air volumes behind the magnetic gap and will be loaded by the resonanses created, and the radiated s...

They were playing some Schubert Lieder, Tchaikovsky and a very challenging George Crumb piece while I was in there. Was interested to see a gunmetal compression chamber on the rear of his new S2's.

Romy, I think you have neither a system with back chamber now (because the foam is closed pore), nor a "true compression driver" (because the foam is not rigid). Probably you mainly have a second vibrating system coupled to the cone that enhances mec...
