In the Thread: A listening room for a domesticated Cat?
Post Subject: What a brilliant idea!Posted by Romy the Cat on: 10/28/2017
I have so much fun today. I sent the whole kids with their nanny
and mom to a Boston children museum along with ants and with grandparents and deeded
to stay home to work on my listening room. Since I did not have good sound
before I did not particularly cared about the room decor and room organization
but now as the playback is back to the business I become a bit anal and I want
the room to be as I want. It will take for a while to resort some mixed up
during the moving recording, to hang the artworks and to do many other organization
task. So I was sitting in my listening chair blasting Bartok sting quarters and
making my “to do list” and suddenly a brilliant idea hit my mind.
As now I am driving my 50-125 midbass from Milq bass channel
and the same amp is driving the bass sub 40Hz. So, even though I have a series cap
in midbass that should decuple the Midbass and Lower Bass but it is still 6 dB
per octave and to a degree my lower bass much be overly damped by my midbass? Would it be something that is responsible for
some “very mild softness of lower end hardness” that I described above? So,
ides was to let the bass Milq to drive ONLY the lower bass tower, like in “old
good times”? How to do it? It means I need to drive my Midbass from somewhere
else…
Examining the Milq schematic I come to a great idea: why now
to drive my Midbass from Injection Chanel. The Injection Chanel is a full range Milq with
just an attenuator in front of it. It drives a single Tannoy Red at -12dB with 125Hz
high pass filter. God! This cannel is begs to drive the Midbass. So, what I need
to do is to open up the Injection Chanel input attenuator, assuring the full
gain and put the attenuator to speaker level for whatever would need attenuation.
It is possible that since the Midbass is 99dB sensitive and Tannoy in beginning
of 90s but need to run well attenuated then both Midbass and Injection Channels
will need the same gain, that would be so much fun!!!
The benefits are VERY
clear. My lower bass will be less compromised and I can get rid of the series cap
from Midbass as I do not need Tannoy to work at lower frequencies. Also, the Injection Chanel has much more suitable
OPT and loading for single Vitavox then my bass channel.
I am very optimistic with this idea. It is become very elegant
and getting rid so much complexity! I truly forgot that I have a full range Melquiades
built in into my Super Melquiades. I am telling you. The guy who did it was a genius!!!Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
