Angelo,Although the idea might be looks like an “elegant” at a hi-fi shows but unfortunately it has a lot of pitfalls, the terminal pitfalls for my point of view. This is only my opinion but still:1) LF channel- the bassmaxx. I never had or hear...

Eventually I found hot to balance out the fundamental channel’s arm a 1 galloon bucket filed with led shot and Super Melquiades power supply do a good contra-mass.
I did not do a lot of listening but the very initial listing that I did are clear...

Since no one replied, I thought of narrowing down the problem. I need to make a horn that will cover up to 600Hz. I will guess that it will be 150 to 600Hz. But better yet 90 to 600Hz. Is this posssible. Do I need to make a compression chamber? Do I ...

Once again, let make it the last post off the subject of the 5-chals Milq.
I think it make sence to start from 370Hz-400Hz horns for S2, targeting it for 1000Hz. Then the lower bass horn, for instance the 45Hz, however it should have a chamber of m...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] I do not use compression driver
for bass channel. I would like to have my system esthetically balanced, to get let
say 120Hz from a compression driver would take too long horn and it would be no
way time-aligned it. So,...

I am currently planning high-WAF speakers for my sister which have to stand in the corners on the floor. Asking for small corner horns I was told the EV Baronet could be a solution. Simulating it with roughly estimated dimensions I found that the FR ...

[quote user="msaudio"]If you look at the picture second from the the top, you will see 2 woofers mounted in front on the baffle, notice a 2 piece horn from the baffle. Klangfilm never had such a horn, they would start at the baffle and curve out. The...

Hi Romy. Interesting point as i had similar perception along my recent I ran an 8inch driver with fronthorn. Then just got my hands on a pair of RFT L-3701 (or 3702). http://tempuri.org/tempuri.htmlA fabulous driver with exactly those parameters. T...

Dresden,
So the first two could actually be just one actual build, with alternate rear chambers? Wouldn't you change the throat size, as well as the compression chamber size? Then arrive at your "optimized" compound horn design. Then yo...
|
I have never heard of any woofer that manages 50Hz lower cut off frequency in a horn arrangement. The simple fact is that a woofer does not emit sound under the resonance frequency (that is without artificially changing that, ie active). The resonanc...

"the chamber where the magnet is (would it be perm magnet of electromagnet) is absolutely decoupled from any paths where sound flows"The situation is the same as the backside of a woofer looking into a closed enclosure, and this relationshi...

Herman, horn dimensions does not described by size of driver but only size of throat. It will be absolutely nothing changed in the horn dimensions if you go from between 10" and 12" driver. Sure you would need a bit larger back side of the horn to ac...

[quote user="rowuk"]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.e...

I wish I could stop the US government from selling AK47s in any corner shop in the US. If you give a monkey a gun, most probably he will shoot himself. If you give a monkey an AK47, well that is different. He will take anything he wants and few thi...

"Sadurni Acoustics' Staccato 4-way hornspeaker exploits MDF horns with up to 3" wall thickness. The 92cm lower midrange horn which loads a cone driver can "achieve 100Hz in-room". The actual 'turbine-horn' midrange driver is a compression sort. "The ...
|
You need to decide what length of the horn you can afford. When I mean “afford” I ment the position of the horn in context of the rest of your system. You know the lowest cut off - 40Hz. So, the most suitable for you length and the mouth size will gi...

Thanks, Eduardo, very interesting. The YL 75000 has no phase plug and 70Hz with 1” trout. It look to me like a conventional diver. Which beds a question: if to reduce compression with our classic drivers, loose plug off and reduce power then can we ...

Hello all :::: This will be my first post, and I am writing first to thank Romy and the lovely Koshka for making the results of their research available to others, and also to ask for help :::: I am something of a "New Horns Guy" (cringe !), as I am ...
|
Kea Audio, Regarding the driver. When I meant hard suspension I meant low excursion. Acoustic pressure equals displacement by volume and displacement equals surface by excursion. In horn we add the horn EQ, so for a given frequency we might have lowe...

Yesterday I spoke with a guy at a Russian audio forum who reported that he played with addressing many problems of compression driver by pumping ferrofluid in the gap. I am not a big fun of ferrofluiding generally and in case of compression drivers i...

I have admitted that I have some freakish affection to lover mirage “moments” in sound and the cellos concertos are my “specially” beloved concertos:

The very same goes with voices. The ...

Romy,It is interesting that you say that the problem is well known. I discovered this application in 1972, while trying to come to a solution for the sonic insults being supplied by a pair of Ohm F speakers. I eventually got them to act somewhat as W...

Ronnie wrote (and posted the following image): "...I was thinking the same. But perhaps rubber rings can be used to seal the back chamber to make it instantly tune-able (without the hard foam)..."Romy wrote a thread called the "Practical Guide t...

Pierre, yes, I understand it. It kind or irrelevant what they destined for and yes, in domestic applications in context of low power we can use it lower. What I am saying is that as we do use it at extreme low range we deal with slightly overdamped d...

[quote user="steverino"]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. B...

[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...

I really would like the Vitavox users who use the bottom region of S2 driver to pay very serious attention to my post above. The redaction of compression in this driver and dropping the resonance frequencies does impacts the lower knee sound of the d...

[quote user="CO"]If you havent already, why not explore the Infinite baffle concept? Or a long terminated back chamber for that matter.
Current drive should also be very good on the lower registers.[/quote]
I did it. Any situation where sealing of ...

Hi,I am slowly building my own Macondo. I understand why the injection channel is there. It brings some kind of softness that the compression drivers lack. I am using a 12" JBL midbass driver (~100dB sensitivity) in a 50L single driver Marshall cabin...

Hello Romy, thanks for your guide.I've been thinking and I feel that some basic upper bass channel ideas are forming; they a result of, as you say ,"organic" derivation from the rest of my acoustic system. I am pretty excited about this idea i have. ...
