I would like to add this driver to a good driver list:HiVi D10G 10" Kevlar/Paper Woofer, it is sold at parts-express.com and it was one of a few drivers that I ordered for a personal shoot-out. Ignoring the fact that it is yellow and that it makes hu...

It happen that I thought that my old Sony XBR Trinitron TV when sound and I was forced to by a new one. The old TV turner out to be fine and I was stupid to be left with the new one. It is a contemporary LED TV, they say the it is the best. I say...

I agree the dipol is generally a wrong direction for entire speaker system but I thought it a good way to evaluate a specific driver's sound and character. I am I wrong here? The box should only increase the bass range and provide additional damping....

I was rushing when I made the last post. Wanted to share a little more about my thought process and how I arrived at doing another large-scale masochistic audio project. Making a bass horn is a huge risk - the results can vary from exceeding expect...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Assuming one will not get anything under 50Hz (usable) from a 40Hz horn, I interpret the mission of lower-bass channels in the context of a horn system as follows….[/quote]
Hm, this is a bit tricky with bass. A pla...

Here is my proposal for an ideal horn system. The concept derives from the really of the horns as I know them, the available park of the drivers, the drivers’ real capacity and from… everything else that I might comment upon if you would not figure o...

[quote user="Stitch"] Well, I didn't come so close to answer your question right.I saw a few from the German DIY scenery and for them it was like the return of Jesus, best sound on Planet But probably they are still deaf as usual, because the Fre...

Thanks Romy, I'm using a TAD 10" mid in a sealed box to produce 200hz-800hz. Although I'm fairly happy with it, I'm hoping a compression driver/horn would give even better results. There aren't a lot of ready made options for 200-800hz so I chose Got...

[quote user="jessie.dazzle"] Regarding the Mid-Bass : If these guys are using the main block as a Mid-Bass horn (as Romy's illustration suggests), then the story is getting interesting, and the plot is definitely thickening... It would however seem i...

Now that the preliminary excitement of my ingenious idea wore off, I'm ready to share it and accept the harsh reality of any shortcomings... but seriously.
For a while now, I've been been working on optimally integrating my 3 channel...

[quote user="Lbjefferies7"] Now, as for your drawing of the exaggerated port flaires, it is excessive. A port is not a horn and, from an engineering standpoint, I treat them very differently. A port is a resonator. [/quote]
Oh, sur...

If LF are sealed, I would suspect that the strong SS/hybrid would be better able to keep the drivers "off the air cushion". When the drivers get to that point I hear something I would describe like this: Take your fingernail and...

I am using them with 200 w/channel SS amp in very large sealed cabinets. The room they are in is quite large and the honey bass has been less of a problem than the MF tone. When I play my bartoli baroque CD (live in italy), dynamics...

Principally there are many many theories and papers about ports and how they must be calculated/constructed/placed/used. But none of these theories explains the relation of port design to the SOUND. That’s the reason why so many engineers get s...

The exceptional 15-inchers would be two fitted in two categories: the bass 15-inchers and wide-range 15-inchers. It is imposable to think about the exceptional and wide -range 15-inchers and do not mention the 1946 -1973 production of the Tannoy Dual...

Romy, i hope this post doesn't offend your sensibilities. I am not gonna say a word about the physics principles that have led me to the conclusion that this is something that should be tried ( unless you ask of course ).
The idea i have is...

[quote user="mats"]Too late now for points, but just the other day I tried to imagine your plan. and I was pretty close.Actually, it is a bit like what I have going now; 15" Eminence bass guitarr woofers in a sealed 3 cu ft cabinet,Oris 150 with...

Pretend
a driver diaphragm, any driver. From front diaphragm "sees" the horn
throat and the mass of air in the horn that diaphragm needs to
"push". This creates let call front spring. If a driver has a front
chamber than let discard it for now. ...

[quote user="Kcct82"] I know you're not a big fan of digital delay, but I'm using behringer DCX 2496 to make things easier... this way I get to keep all horn mouths on the same plane which avoids some reflections (from other horn mouths). [/quote]

Hello all,Some time ago, I bought a pair of very early production ML2s for an ongoing horn project (see "Note at end").Rather than just let the ML2s sit and wait for the horns to get done, I of course tried them out with my "normal" 89db/watt@1m spea...

Once you establish that you are for sure on the right track with the whole idea of the Injection Channel, it would not be such a big deal to cut and extend the vertical mast of your Macodo frames, moving your Fundamentals Channel up... You could have...

With exception to the fact that I have no bass my new room did not give me a lot that I feel might be qualified as strange. I still do not know this room as good as I knew my old room but I will be there, it is a derivative of time. It is not tha...

It is a very strange feeling, but I really feel how this entire idea should sound. I mean the 500W SET of the REAL SET driving a 12-14 cubic feet of sealed enclosure loaded with North Leviathan Driver.
