Post Subject: Community m4 front chamber usePosted by mjloudspeaker on: 8/16/2009

As can be seen in above photos, the front chamber is in reality "chamber of horrors" with highly polished surface interior, and look at the phase plug, after disassembly, I put it back together, and how can you align it? All that holds it together is extra long screws.
Does not matter, it needs to be dismissed for my (or any other serious sound) application. Sad as it is beautifully made, so how to use it and not feel bad?
I have included some better uses for this m4 stuff if you do not like it further, and I have tried to stay on topic of thread of "fane m8 studio replacement" theme, not Macondo topology/mjloudspeaker contest.
Here are great use of m4 if you still don't like the sound of it, after baring the motor cone of the above "public address accessories".
m4 salad bowl strainer
art devo m4 hat
m4 boat anchor
It is easy to fabricate a plate cover for the m4, I don't have it here, but a simple mdf donut with attachment to horn is needed, using the same bolts that hold the front chamber on there, so anyone can do that part, I won't go to workshop to show you this simple donut.
This concludes my contribution to the thread of finding a replacement for fane. At the very least, give the m4 a try, as my opinion of "sound" does not matter, and my application of "topology" is my own, also does not matter, and is still a work in progress, nothing is really done, (except to remove offending pieces off of the m4 and the titanium is done) except to discover the m4, so I am mostly done here with posting. I will update with horn when I get it done, whenever that be. Sorry if I don't have more fascinating stuff for site, but hey, life.
Thanks for having me Romy, best regards, j.
