I'm new to this. I have a 15" Jensen that response Peet's at 2100hz. When pulling it down it ends up impedance dropping to 1 0hm or below. It's also making a huge trough at the cover point.

I am going to use this mid in a three way with a Fostex FW305 12 inch woofer and a Scan/Vifa XT25TG30.Crossover points at 400Hz and about 2500Hz.This combination has been modeled elsewhere and should give around 92/93 db sensitivity with a slightly downsloping response.

Do 6 kHz použijem horn ozvučnicu z dreva aby som získal hlasitosť . Na spektrum od 6kHz hore použijem ešte jeden taký istý vysokotónový reproduktor ktorý môžem zaťažiť viac pretože ho delíme vysoko. Takto získam dvojnásobný zvuk z dvoch rovnakých vysokotónových reproduktorov ale výsledok bude viac podobný zdroju z jedného bodu.

A simple capacitor (6dB rolloff) at 12K would flatten out the waveguide effects and a coil to ground would finish the job at 2.5K. That all being said, we really need an impulse measurement to see if the problem is diffraction or horn loading. Then we see if the time arrival is messed up. Frequency sweeps only tell us about the sound pressure - not what it is made up of.

I especially enjoyed the review you did of the Viawave GRT 145 with the other ribbon driver. That was excellently done. I also that see you did a basic demo (wouldn't call it a full review) of the Sounderlink Neo 8 AMT Planar. Is there any chance you might be able to do a review of the Sounderlink Neo 10??? And the Sounderlink Neo 3? Those are AMT Planars that a lot of people are looking at, but there are not any comprehensive reviews on them like the one you did on the Viawave.

Best midwoofers - are those that are easy to work with and simple to filter. Usually these are speakers with a descending frequency response, without any emissions at the end of the frequency response (in the form of a “shepherd’s stand” or mountain like most SB, which require high-order filters and the use of notch chains).

That Visa 25mm ring tweeter is a good one. Many years ago I built a two wat with the Skaanings 5” and and a Dyaudio Esotec tweeter. One of the tweeters got wrecked by a hockey stick( don’t ask) and I decided to use the Vifa ring radiator as a drop in. It was cheap and had similar specs. I actually preferred the sound to the Esotec.

Can diffraction be reduced by A. sticking a sponge material around the speaker on the baffle at say 2" away, using the self stick door draft excluder type that about 1/4" square. B. Routing a dado channel in the baffle around the speaker at say 2" away and gluing in a strip of sound deadener. C. Using a dado channel as at B instead of sound absorbing material, put in a circle of hard wood or plastic that is rounded over with a slight protrusion and polished or natural, like a speed hump for soundwaves. But the height above the baffle may need tuning depending on frequency, irrespective of height it might be worth a try.

A plastic membrane compression driver is not a tweeter. You need at least a titan. It’s easy to determine which type by FR: a plastic has that remarkable falling deep from 8kHz to 15kHz and then a rocket jump to 18-20kHz. Independently of a manufacturer. All you can make with them is to use a sophisticated crossover to make it flat in a range of 3-5kHz up to 20kHz with a 90dB sensitivity. But the next question then is why a h do you use a compression driver for that if you can take a trivial dome tweeter??
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers
@ImpulseAudioSpeakers 8 ай бұрын
CDs are way more sensitive than a dome tweeter, which adds to dynamics and allows for higher realistic SPL and lower distortion. Also the waveguide provides better directivity.
@sc0or
@sc0or 8 ай бұрын
@@ImpulseAudioSpeakers A waveguide can be used also with a dome tweeter. However I told about a resulting sensitivity after a crossover that fixes the 8-20kHz issue. They are the same. About 90dB. Fortunately we have titanium/beryllium/carbon membranes. Some of them are pretty affordable. A compression driver worth all of these efforts, you are right. A proper one -)
