Post Subject: Why a 200Hz driver? The useful honk.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 12/20/2010

I would like to expose what my intentions are what I was tiling above about Goto 555 or a similar 200Hz driver. My S2 does not stress the bottom of my 183Hz horn. My multi-cell is expositional and those types of horns do pick honk very aggressively of driver outputs lower then horn can handle. I would like to have a driver that will be able to choke this horn with bass. Probably Goto 555 will be a good frequency-wise but I do not know if Goto has provision and access to modify resonance frequency. Theoretically, on the picture Goto 555 is vented driver and it is possible that Fs might be moderated. However, since Goto users are mostly audio-wise unintelligent it is hard to get any information about it. I also never had seen the Goto drivers’ schematics.

So, what I am trying to accomplish. I would like to get a satiation what I will be able to get mandible honk. I can see the faces of the readers to turn sour – any horns user would like to run from honk as far as possible. However, that attitude is a bit superficial. I have written in my Midbass Projects thread that I do like honk if it is properly implemented. It practically never properly implemented. Do you want to hear it properly implemented – go and listen any brass section of any orchestra in the world. A properly made honk from playback is very very refund and it more sounds like harmonic infliction of softness then playback coloration. The in it is very precise moderation of amount of honk projected to dymick range. I was not able to do it with my Midbass channel and I made to fire free from useful honk. However, I do not see why I can’t do it with my multi-cell.

So, this is why I am looking more bass able driver then my Vitavox. I still will use my S2/S3 and it possible that after the sand-filing the will do different bass. My currant Fundamental Channel is 250Hz,Tractrix. S2/S3 does stress it but I need a long neck, slow opening horn for those objectives. I do have a very good Vitavox 220Hz horn. Not the classic 4 sections but the small sections at the throat. This is very good horn and it does work very nice with S2/S3. The bottom of the S2/S3 get nicely honky in this horn but in a bit ringing fashion. My multi-cell is 183Hz – a whole 43Hz below the Vitavox 220Hz horn – that is a lot in the horn world and I am afraid the S2/S3 would not do it….
