Post Subject: More on the Port-o-guess…Posted by Romy the Cat on: 9/15/2008

Well, the license of think this way was given to me by one mini-monitor that I found to sound “promising” for the objectives that I would like to achieve. In fact not even the monitor itself but the bass driver, the drive that in a way was unique characteristics. When I said unique I did not mean exceptional but rather no common – I would not at this point to comment about the driver’s quality of sound. So, I figured that 4-8 of those drivers combined with “slowed” ribbon will do for me.

I don’t think that this is a conversation about my desire to me a ported speaker to sound better – it is not my objective and you would hardly find a more jaded opponent of port enclosure then me. Bu any tool and any solution is applicable only  within a scope of a given requirements and the requirement for my Macondo MiniMe is very simple: to get more or less OK sound with smallest footprint possible and capable to care high power, let was 100W.

So, I have to prototype and it looks like it might work with those drivers that I found. Hey it even sounds very nice, or put in this way – promising. Since it will be a tall enclosure (magnetically attached to the Macondo’s frame) I wonder where to locate the posts. In the image below depicts the question: shell it be red, green or yellow approach. I also have no clue how deep shell be the point of port’s end into the enclosure, among many other things…
