DSP is only partially involved. The real key is the audio 'reporting' from the sonar plots. You can pick and choose your fixes...from limited/aggressive DSP, to limited/aggressive object room placement (ORP). My ocus is on the latter as new way of ra...
|
|
So, now I am overlaying the sonar map on top of the audio output sweeps, to create a hybrid audio map. This then means we create an algorithm to input to a suitable audio reader. I then place this reader between the source (eg cd, dac) and the amp. L...

Thanks Romy, PaulPaul, the i-phone app sounds interesting…sort of capturing the concept. With the audio map established, only minor room tweaks are required to assist overall room improvement (leading to Optimum Object Placement, or ‘OOP’). For e...

Audio Sonar Acoustic Levelling (ASAL)
As an engineer, I’ve been intrigued by the various room treatment systems out there…most of which are sound (excuse the pun). My own 4-way front-loaded playback system is very dynamic…and suitable room...

Bass horn sub now fitted underneath, with false shelf added for the righ hand side mid bass horn.
The extra height is good....90cm to floor for tweeter, 110cm for the mid horn.
Just a nice BIG wall of sound...wit...

Finished, and very impressed with the output of this small tapped horn.
Running simple RCA piggy backs from valve amp output to plate amp, which is Digitech (JayCar), 100-watt. simple enough, nothing fancy. Would like to integrate the ...

Sitting here enjoying a Miller Genuine Draft (with slice of lemon!).
Today, spent a lazy 2 hours building the new 30Hz Tapped Horn sub. Oh so easy. All panels pre-cut by supplier...just drew them up, glued and clamped. Tomorrow I'l...

My mate is developing a new synergy kit horn.http://redspade-audio.blogspot.com.au/AndrewGo Australia.......

Running in drivers...and the sound is getting better and better...just lovely.This weekend, I'll relocate my mid bass horns to fire directly out to the room. The angled baffles work very well for integration of sound with the mid horns...but I'll get...

the blue horns arrived today....and they're all hooked up and sounding..............FANTASTIC.......!!!!!!
In 10 years of DIY audio, there's a few moments of sheer joy....tonight was one.
Will muck around with placement of h...

Here's how I will initially position the mid bass horns. The imaging is excellent....though I give a little away in dynamics. The 12-inch B&C drivers kill the puny 8-inch Fane drivers for this application. Well done John Inlow for this design. I ...

Here are the horns painted...soon to leave Germany for Oz....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]atilsley169, I would ditch your request to define term high-end. I think you might do it for yourself if the defining of the term is important to you. Your second question however is very interesting. You ask if the purchas...
|
|
When you say it was not very high end...but that you found the sound very good....doesn't that mean you should redefine the term high end?
Also. Why can't the purchase of a $20k speaker in itself not be regarded as audio ambition?
Regards.

[quote user="Jorge"]Andrew,Dont buy all the drivers at once, I would get only the upper bass horn drivers and maybe the mid drivers, you will have to play around with these for a while before things start clicking toghether, by then who knows, ma...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Yes, it was not “allergy” but already, the benefit of the automated check speller but it is not the point. It is not about lofty standards. This web site is not about offering help or imposing help. I do not mind to help pe...

[quote user="Jorge"]Andrew you got to read the site, get into it, there is a lot of useful information regarding excactly the project you are going into, is there any difference if the threads are addressed to you or someone else? Most of them are R...

RomyI'm sorry my humble project doesn't meet your lofty standards. I'm reminded of the model who was famous for saying, "I don't get out of bed for under $10,000 a day."I would have though that this 'from-scratch' multi horn project would have been a...

Ok, Andrew, this is allergy something. I would highly advise you in future before you post any discrete updates, questions, and ideas about what you to inform about the holistic objective of your project, sort of a view from 50.000 feet...

In response to Romy's request re drawing, Here's a rough sketch to scale of the three-way.Not shown, two folded tapped horns with will sit at either side of the mid bass horns. These won't be large...30/35Hz to 100....
|

Thanks Paul
I don't have the horns yet, so I can't comment on the sound. I bought them because of what I 'wanted' to hear....large scale dynamics. Friend has the avant-garde trios. I liked their presentation....but not their cost!
So my goals are:...

|
Thanks Paul...yes, I've already come clean that I'm a moron for getting into BLH's....! (However, at least that got me into horns!)Your other points are valid.I fear I don't have a lot of technical and nuanced answers up to Romy's standards though. I...

Hi The CatI forgott to answer your q, what I do.I 'do' management...heading up a team of folk for a large social services charity in Sydney. I cover training, occ health and safety, payroll, volunteering etc. We have 2000 staff.My interest in audio s...
|

Thanks The CatI'm posting the pics of the build as I progress so people can see and pass on ideas, that's all. Are you suggesting you don't want horn projects shown on your site? I had earlier outlined the design, including cross-over points etc.I as...

With the height, I plan to have the mid horn set around 1200mm with tweeter below, eg 900mm.
These will reside on a timber or metal stand I'll fabrecate miself.
What are some important considerations here?
Regards
The Andrew ...
