Ok, none it is time to dive into the practical process of tweeters alignment. Once again I presume that we are taking about monopole tweeters that use AFTER your midranges compression drivers (read my previous post). Some people use term “supertweete...

[quote user="Paul S"]Do you actually prefer the S2 at crossover frequencies, or is the problem driver compatibility, or is it just too much sound at crossover? If you have the power to burn, why not scrub a dB or two off the ribbon, or ju...

I had a Behringer DCX2496 that used for nothing and I think it got broken. I do not want to by another one. What I looking for is some kind cheap, no more than $100 solution that would allow be to have 4 order filters and crossover point up to 250hz...

Interestng, I did not near horn load Electrostats. What the profile and what the mouth rate of your horn? What the resonant frequency of Electrostats you have before and after loading? Are you driving the Electrostats direct from plate or via a trans...

So 3cu ft enclosure withe dims. of Bill (to be made), Tannoy stock crossover. I'm thinking how to design the x-over entry to the sealed enclosure to have the x-over outside without breaking the seal. ...

Last week found that the distortion I was having was due to some small separations of the woofer cone from the surround suspension probably from age and playing too loud. Applied the glue to them received from English tannoy dealer and distortion...

Had problems 2 and 3 here with my British crossovers
Both speakers have the 78 hz. Dip after a 50 hz. Peak. they are probably room resonances. Try moving the speakers and/ or the mike and remeasure.
Also you ha...

Hello Romy,I didn't use John Hasquin's tapped horn design, I modeled my own in hornresp for my TAD woofer. I knew I would only need it up to ~55Hz so I was happy to have it flat from 23Hz-70Hz. The lowest crossover point for Behringer DCX 2496 is 20H...

[quote user="Paul S"]So this amp would not have to deal with a crossover? One R and one L in the signal path, it looks like a headphone amp, maybe a dream circuit for a light piston, HF only, given no cap/coil load at the [ribbon] driver. [/quo...

So, I do not understand. You took everything out and use it as direct radiator or you still somehow load M4 into a horn? Are pictures how you use it available? Also, how you use it: crossover point and measurable range? I would be also interested to ...

[quote user="JLH"] I do not believe you fully understand what Danley is doing with the Synergy horn. [/quote]
Nope, I do not. Well, I understand it but I am not willing to acknowledge that I understand it as the Synergy horn idea looks too fre...
|
|
I’m absolutely certain that the mids and lows are designed in the same function supporting fashion as I described the compression driver. Danley explicitly explains this in his patent. For my own amusement, I went through all the math and calculation...

As I wrote before I picked some Vitavox S3 driver.
http://www.GoodSoundClub.com/TreeItem.aspx?PostID=8619
and I was expediting with them recently to use in Fundamental Chanel. My idea was that S3 might care LF knee better then S2. In past I had S3 ...

|
I know many would view the two frequencies as similar and perhaps of little consequence, but I have my reasons.My primary, driving objective for wanting the horn to produce sound faithfully to at least 90Hz is that 90Hz represents an ideal crossover ...

I've only had the pleasure of listening to 'professional' horns (whatever 'professional' really stands for)--horn normally used in concerts and small venues. (It was always so obvious to me--by listening--that the range of the horn-loaded 'bass...

The crossover is built and will be testing it for the rest
few days. I am sure it will do some “comforting” for my SS amp. The question I
have no answer for myself if I need to use an input active stage. My preamp,
having 8R output impedance can p...

Romy:Do you mean that if you begin with digital source, it does not matter whether you use a digital crossover or not since the "damage" has already been done?...
|
|
I think I figured it out. Capacitor polarity. I reversed the polarity (leads are black and red) and sound changed. Now it sounds closer to what I am looking for, with better transients. Not as good as the digital crossover in the transient department...

Watched youtube feeds and found my way back here. Interested to hear more about your priorities in the new build. Given the project is inspired by Dunlavy, I presume the build will be time aligned with first order crossover? If so, are you intendi...

With exception to the fact that I have no bass my new room did not give me a lot that I feel might be qualified as strange. I still do not know this room as good as I knew my old room but I will be there, it is a derivative of time. It is not tha...

OK, the Reps is so up-tilted that I cannot deal with it stock without a BH. So, back to the DX4, because I can't tie the ribbon on the Reps' tail. I have re-entered Crossover Hell. Programs and math up the wazoo. More, anon.Paul S...

Romy, I thought the Ref3 mm-de capos sounded pretty good last I heard them. No idea if they are ported or not. I've been told the crossover is rather simple. To me, they did a good disappearing act. Probably expensive.For dece...

After a few hours of moving the right channel (digital crossover was not used) this is what I was able to come – right channel bass section with no filtration. This is the very best among the worse and as you can see it is very unusable. What I am th...

Back in the 90's i bought a pair of Aura 1808 woofers and made a set of 24 cubic foot corner enclosures 1 1/2 thick, crossover at 100hz, close to 300 pounds, way over built enclosure with a baffle on the face of the enclosure that i could remove. I T...

[quote user="be"]I have a two horns covering from around 150Hz and up, with a crossover frequency around 700Hz, So my system is probably less sensitive than yours with the many chanels and higher crossover frequencies. But I have changed my mind and ...

This is my first horn build effort. Been thinking about this since starting to build loudspeakers and finally have a listening space big enough to support a horn system. This is where I am at now, I know there are opportunities for improvement. And I...

[quote user="Paul S"] Some of those Altec horns were textbook examples of both types of bell-like resonance, where the body of the horn itself resonated and certain bell-like artifacts were created/amplified by/in the horns' mouths. [/quote] Hmmmmmmm...
|
|
In terms of the length of the horn, I'm allowing myself a total height of 7'6" (just below the average ceiling height of 8'). In regards to the mouth diameter, that's another matter. (It appears that I will have to build two [2] different...

I believe that the Arum Cantus is typical of most ribbons in mirroring one of the principal failings of MC cartridges, a rising top end (over 20k), although I have not actually heard this - at all - with my own small Arum Cantus, and I just go n...

I got my pair of 1.5” to 250Hz trx-horns that I will be trying for my “Fundamental Channel” experiment. It will take a couple weeks to paint the thing and find out how to mount them. For a time being I have a few very interesting proposition how to c...
