Post Subject: Very very nice.Posted by Romy the Cat on: 11/13/2016

It took for me a few weeks to put up a new direct radiator Midbass channels. Each channel has 2 of Vitavox 15/40 drivers is seals 2 cu foot enclosures. No filtration of any kind on speaker level and Vitavoxes juts are driver from Milq LF channel that has first order 78Hz low pass filter. You know, I just connected everything and I am surprised how nice it is and how accidently the sensitivity of the Vitavox tandem match the gain of Macondo rest channels. I did not do measurements yet but the Vitavox tandem shall do ~50Hz. I think it will go a bit lower as the driver soft out but I am not sure that I need them to do lower as I have that 50Hz room mode. If everything will be as I plan then I will have 0dB flat at 50Hz with my midbass and I will have the whole 6-driver line array to form ULF that I will probably put at 20Hz on transition slope. The funny part is that the playback is so nicely positioned in the room that it swallowed two big 20” by 40” boxes and they are not even visible among the forest of the rest Macondo.

Subjectively the Vitavox direct radiator Midbass sound surprisingly fine. There is no “glow” that I had with my horns but I will get other interesting effects when I put my ULF in use. The articulation, tonal and contrast integrity of the direct mounted Vitavox is very fine. I think I do prefer the dynamic transience in open air better but it would be impossible to have a practical channel with open baffle.
