Ulf, are you still around?
I would be interested in an update on this project.. are you listening to this setup a year later?
I have a pair of these same drivers (TAD tm-1201) sitting new in boxes and trying to determine what horn profile, tractrix, lecleach, hypex etc to use.
none are a problem to build for me, in many ways the round horns would be easiest since i intend to make a plaster slip mold for them an injection cast.. anyhow.. i just want to get it close to right the first time.
what i wonder is if you are still enjoying them, and if you were to do it again, what would you do different?
how large of a throat opening did you use? and would you suggest it?
I will attempt to make a profile like the Cat suggested in this thread where the face extends in to meet the profile of the cone more or less.
Also.. any ideas on what the really ideal freq. cutoffs for these should be for a midbass horn? I was thinking 150hz to 1000 on a 100hz horn.. but wonder why i couldnt go from as low as 100hz (in a 60hz horn) to 2000hz or higher? beaming of upper freq?
Ok. if anyone else has ideas on this i'd appreciate any input.
if one were to use these in lieu of the fane studio 8's what would be the type, throat diameter and ideal freq range for these drivers.
thanks.
