Post Subject: 297.875Hz ; The magic number?Posted by jessie.dazzle on: 8/12/2007
330 or 300 or 297.875Hz... Migh all be just as interesting... Or more likely a complete waste of time.
It does not matter what Vitavox did.
My motivations : There is only one, and it is not related to the lower knee of my Upper MF horn/driver, so you might say I am shooting in the dark like a wounded in the ass audiophile. I understand the drawbacks involved with the larger horn; I would do the experiment only in the name of observing the effect it may have on the "Beneficial Resonance" zone of the S2.
So why 330Hz... Because, based on results of the 400Hz horn, I would not want to go much lower.
If/when I do the experiment, I would probably also make a +or- 500Hz horn with the same aim in mind (it does not take me long to make a small horns if I leave the exterior unfinished).
I am also experimenting with approaches like the one illustrated in the attached image (can't comment on results yet... I have to re-conduct the experiment... I screwed it up).
