Post Subject: A long journey...Posted by Romy the Cat on: 5/12/2025
With all honesty yesterday I did not detect in Bill's sound any deficiencies that I would feel a " better" Vitavox 15-in drivers would address. This whole concept of battle driver is complicated. Russians have saying: if two people do the same things. Jane, they are not the same things. The very same tru in yhe most audio applications. We made his base horn run down to 45 cycles and it was very beneficial to listen his playback without any lower frequency channels. His horns did beautifully and I do not think that if we have " better" driver in horns if it would make any difference. From what I feel vitavox 15 in driver not necessarily like to be squeezed in a horn. I personally very much like it as a direct radiator or in very lightly loaded horn. I would not use it for any hyperbolic or any other slow opening horns.
Whatever was very remarkable yesterday is that Ternov become very substantially screw up sound when we changed main volume control. It happens that we listening his play back at 0db and it provided fight fine result. Then Bill to demonstrate me somthing and flipped The volume at -1 DB. I swear to God that sound instantaneously got collapsed. It's immediately got compressed and it was very editable. So if you plan to use this type of the processor for anything more than surround channels then I would run anything as much as possible at unity gain.
