Post Subject: The fundamentals channel: the first bloodPosted by Romy the Cat on: 5/25/2006
Sucks! I made today my conical prototype and loaded it with S2 band-crossed at 500Hz and 900Hz. Pretty much wherever I placed this horn except directly above the tweeters it screwed imaging. To mount it directly above the tweeters does not look plausible as to hand the channel at 6-7 feet high would make a lot of mess with armature and would make the Maconco contrived and not allegiant…. At this point without having a proper horn I am not planning to move speaker but it kind of made me to think…
The tratrix horn is being made and will be here in two-tree weeks. The tratrix will be way better working by the nature of being tratrix but it also will have a larger (less convenient would be more precisely to say) mouth that would make it even more ugly to integrate. From what I detect now the “fundamentals channel” horn with 17” mouth in order do not screw the MF channel (the mouth is extended a few inches forward) should be ~25” away and it is too much for my nearfield setting.
