[quote user="Macman"] Anyways, seeing the back chamber of my midbass horn, you would say that its way to big, no? [/quote] It is very hard to say. You need to measure and to publish the resonance frequency of your loaded driver and view it in context...

[quote user="Kerry Brown"] Yesterday a friend of mine brought over a CLIO analyzer and we graphed the impedance vs. frequency. I was surprised that the subhorn measures like a ported box tuned to 50 Hz ! [/quote]Yes, this all is very explainable. The...

Oh well.. I'd really like to save the horns. I appreciate your offer to help out!Still no measurements, but this can start the trouble shooting...CONSTRUCTIONFirst I refreshed my memory of exactly what I built. They certainly are far from being copie...

Collin,
I do not remember that I wrote that Trios are “duller”. In fact I do not remember I ever wrote anything about Trios in comparing to my current hors. Furthermore, my “Macondo” derived for the Trios and practically fully inherited the Trio’s ...

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...

The first and the bigger thing that I like about them is that Anima is trying to use the vertical-horizontal configuration where the bell of the vertical horn serves as frame for horizontal channels. I love this idea and had a number of my own th...

49Hz To 52Hz will be your peak, so the best you could hope for would be 3 hz below that flat with a perfect tuning of your length of your horn and back chamber of your box housing your woofers. If you shoot for the free air low res of your design, of...

I spans last night some time measuring all my Vitavox 15-incers drivers, inspecting them, matching them and trying to find perfect pair. I would probably get involve in Ménage à trios and will sleep with them if I were able to arrange it. Since the ...

Ok, I will share with you some ideas that I have in my head how to deal with horn decay asymmetry. They are in a way the further development of the Haralanov’s idea of acoustic diode – the brilliant concept from my point of view.
Before I will...

Herman,
What you describe is fine. Over the course of last years I had a number of people who report identical things to what you do. Even if you change volume of back chamber and move resonance frequency then sound will change but it most lik...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] First question:
With the 1.5 gallon rear chamber, the resonance is 700Hz With the basket sealed by tape (very small rear chamber), the resonance is 49Hz Assuming there was not a typographical error, from this we...

The ideal horn system would have to be well integrated into the room, acoustically as well as optically/cosmetically. As far as a commercial venture goes, I believe that Marc Henrys "La Grand Castine" was already (except for the ULF dipole panel) ver...

Romy, it is the UB horn that I need to first tune. Have found an earlier post of yours where you describe your process and will roughly follow it. First thing though is to measure an impedance sweep of the horn sitting in place to get the base line...

OK, my carpenter has finished today his part, go his final check and the project is officially over for him. Some minor things I will ask him to correct next week. Also I will ask him to put a narrow slightly darker border between horn and the wall, ...

[quote user="Joe Roberts"] Interesting concept but let me point out a few considerations.
The diffusor does performs a mild "equalization" function if you want to call it that but it is also an aid to dispersion. It is light "EQ"...3dB might be abou...

[quote user="Jeffrey Jackson"] so, my straight horns... I like them very much.. I built mine similar in style to what Greg B linked, but obviously much smaller.. mine are just under eight feet long (length of a sheet of plywood) and have a mouth roug...

[quote user="be"]I shold make it clearer:The Goto was used in a Goto 150Hz horn, crossed at 180Hz.I guess that is a proper implementation for Goto.The Fane was in a 140Hz tractrix horn with a 10cm throat and a not optimised (to large ) back chamber, ...

[quote user="be"] "another big selling point to me was the 505 being a low resonance compression driver.. there just aren't many drivers with a resonance in the 80 to 100 Hz range like this driver... I have just begun my playing, but am already quite...

If you are going to build such a huge cabinet or put a hole in the floor to use the basement as a chamber, why not just build horns in the basement with a straight 8-10 foot section in the basement with the back chamber resting on the floor, cut...

[quote user="el`Ol"]Romy, are you going to verify the decision of using fragile vintage drivers?E.g. by trying JBL midbass drivers?They would be closer to the design philosophy of the Fane Studio 8M.http://www.jblpro.com/components/maxout.htm#2020H[/...

[quote user="TonyB"] So do your horns have 115Hz flare frequency? (and have the rear chamber tuned for 115Hz as well) [/quote]
They are 35”. Do your math. The back chamber tuned at 115Hz.
