I would appreciate thoughts and guidance. Would one need to fully line the speaker enclosure or can one strategically place a section of no-res mid-way on a panel. Example, If have a floor stander that is is approx. 40" tall and 18" deep, would there be any benefit in placing say a 20"x12" section of no-res on mid-way each side panel and back panel or would I need to fully cover the side panel (40"x18") before getting a benefit. I guess what I'm asking is do I need to cover the entire interior or just place smaller sections on each panel and baffle. Thanks!!!

I've recently been involved in a speaker upgrade. The speakers are TEAD Model 1. The speakers are quite large floor standers. They are made from 18mm baltic birch and were only lightly braised. We lined the cabinets with more 9mm baltic birch ply stuck in with Decidamp to CLD. This was then lined with acoustic foam and Mundorf Angel Hair. The loss of internal volume due to the extra plywood was not enough to significantly change the Q of the speaker. The upgrade took a good £6k speaker and turned it into something spectacular.

I lined the RP600Ms when I did the crossover upgrade and it was fantastic, I also did a pair of Klipsch Forte 1's where I did the bracing like he suggests at the 45° angles and lined with no res with great great results. Now if somebody could send in a forte one for the crossover upgrade that would be amazing!!!

What ever happened to the Blackhole Damping Material
@dannyrichie97434 сағат бұрын
We used to stock it and we sold a lot of it. I kept noticing though that it often muddied the mid-range. So it started us down a road of experimenting and worked with a couple of new companies to figure out what worked best. The No Rez has a thicker and heavier damper than Blackhole 5, but not the barrier layer that was causing a little mass loading of the woofer and muddy sound in the midrange.

We threw in all of the upgrades we offer on the Bully. It is too good not to offer it with the best parts. Plus, it is already fairly pricey, so percentage wise the difference in using all of the best parts was not that much more. If you wanted to though, you could drop some Copper foil by-pass caps into the tweeter circuit.

@hoth21125 сағат бұрын
Depends on how much was in there to begin with. If it's just a few thin polyfill sheets, you can use it on the back wall. if it's a ton or a bunch of loose fill we recommend putting a 1-2" layer of it back into the speaker, mainly along the back wall. For smaller/separate mid-woofer chambers that are stuffed we recommend putting enough in to be fairly close to stock amounts of fill. So long as it doesn't overstuff the chamber. Over stuffing will sound congested. Under stuffing will sound hollow.

Hi Danny, back in the old days we used bitumous felt roofing panels to both mass load & deaden sound. The deadening resulted from the shear forces acting on the panel's many felt layers loosely bonded together by bitumen. My Malcolm Jones (of KEF & Falcon Acoustics) designed Tabor speakers (with Audax drive units) of 40+ years ago used 3/4" flooring grade board, 1/8" hardboard as a veneer, felt panels & fill to achieve a dead cabinet. As a result these 'bookshelf' speakers weigh 50lbs each. The Tabors are still in use every day. Cheers!

In a passive radiator speaker such as the Polk Monitor 7B which has only a tweeter and a midwoofer for active drivers, would there be a disadvantage to lining the entire cabinet with No-Rez, with respect to reducing the low bass response from the passive radiator? The acoustic crossover frequency was stated to be 60 Hz by Polk. This is also an entirely unbraced box. Thanks.

@stephenyoud61256 сағат бұрын
Congrats Danny and Co. If there's any concerns with the foam perishing over time - talk to the manufacturer about them increasing the level of anti oxidant additive in the PU foam formulation. Then it's a trade off of the extra foam cost (those additives are expensive) and the anticipated improvement in foam life. the Oxidation reaction is a function of heat and oxygen level (maybe also light and UV but that should be a minor or no concern inside a speaker, especially a sealed box.)

In an old project, where I converted a Vietnam War ammo box into a Bluetooth speaker, I used Butyl rubber flashing tape. I used to seal the inside of the box airtight and to line the panels. It is remarkably thick, heavy, and somewhat gooey. Do you think that it makes any sense to use such a product? If it were installed strategically underneath the No-Rez, might it increase the mass loading and therefore the damping?

Sonic Barrier often makes a speaker sound worse. It has no damper to reduce cabinet vibrations. Instead it has a suspended barrier layer that is great for sound proofing a room (what it was designed for), but that suspended barrier will tend to mass load the woofer and muddy up the midrange.
