Hello John,The woofer is Fane Studio 8M and throat diameter on the 115Hz horn is 5.56".The initial 4.5" depth of the throat is made up by 6 MDF pieces with rough edges (awaiting bondo smoothing).I can easily add 3/4" pieces to the throat section to m...

If you know how in some optical systems imagery get destroyed when an aperture getting closed to F64 or even smaller, then you understand what happens in compression driver when frequency get higher and spaces smaller. Yes, the proximity of wavelengt...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Of cause not but did you read and understand the Macondo
Axioms? The Macondo Axioms proclaims that an individual driver and individual channel
have to be set in maximum suitable for own topology operation. According to Go...

Thanks, Paul
I have seen your comment about the TAD bug screens at AA. The bug screens are a touchy subject – with some driver removing them works fine with some made sound worse. I did not experiment with TAD’s bug screens…
Generally the bug scree...

For those seeking some decent compression drivers that don`t cost fortune, I can suggest to try the Eighteen Sound ND1460A compression driver. It has aluminum dome and polyester suspension and 1,4 inch exit throat. Does it sound like S2 ? Probably no...

Hi Ronnie, There are a few things that could be causing the alien sounds you site. One, of course, could be certain frequency nodes being excited by room reflections. As long as your room is reasonably dampened, this would not...

I was listening last night a string quartet rehearsal. The play was for the most part justifiably non-so-glorious and I was thinking about my little audio things. For sure our upper MF drivers nowhere near where they need to be. There is too much...

Just a quick note.I tired a JBL 3" compression driver 2490h model with original Titanium diaphragms on a 120 hz Tacrix horn. I got a response down to 200 hz. How did it sound? It sounded good clear and transparent but it lacked a little tone imho...

Does anyone know anything about this German company called hornsolutions.de that advertsies on ebay and offers a driver that promises to reach 80Hz?See link below for ebay page:http://www.ebay.de/itm/Kompressionstreiber-Compressiondriver-80Hz-bis-500...
|

Nope, I never heard about those
drivers. For sure a compression driver that goes down to 80Hz might be interesting.
A few concerns I would have however.
The people who make such a
driver would not come from nowhere but they rather would b...

Hi thereFor some time its bugging me that compression drivers got a very heavy but odd load of air coupling on the membrane. I saw a scatch here to put ideally 2 Horns on each side of the driveway to balance it. That's obviously not so economically :...

Klipsch Jubilee using Celestion Axi2050 compression driver. https://celestion.com/product/axi2050/
On the page you have video showing construction of the driver, claiming unique cone and waveguide shape, and no need for using crossover.
Do ...

[quote user="haralanov"] Also instead of using electrical tape, try to seal the back of the driver with a 2mm thick sheet of microperforated tonewood and then glue a leather layer over it. Then you could also pierce multiple tiny holes in the leather...

While seeking for a CD capable of covering a low mid range, say from 300hz or under, I am offered a pair of TOA compression drivers of rather impressive size. Unfortunatelly a seller has no clue what model it is, except "it sounds as seducing as ...

Hello,This is my first post to this site, which I have been absorbing for over a year.A horn project that I have been considering would include either a 1 inch or 1.5 inch throat compression driver into a Tractrix profile horn of which I have not yet...

[quote user="Johan Dreyer"] I had a SG370 mid apart only yesterday.I should have taken a photograph. I have also seen the inside of the tweeter. They are very similar, so I have no reason to suppose the low mid SG 505 will be much different. I'll try...

Yes, all you said about the Fostex and heavy mouth MF seems reasonable. I don't know what's wrong, but I get the feeling that it's sort of hollow-sounding and could be much more loaded. I'll finish the horns completely before any final conclusions.In...

I did not like the two slit configuration of the phase plug..but the five to one compression ratio produced low distortion,,,but i was not impressed with its bandwidth,,,JBL also used a eight inch speaker assembled to a special phase plug,, You will...

Hm,… yes and no. Inductance is not necessary an evil. Well, it is an evil for open-top-end drivers but you need to look at the life of compression driver all around and then you understand that inductance is not limiting evil. Sure with grow of diame...

Here is another subject that many people would not understand, however some of the advanced Vitavox S2 user will be able to follow me.

Hm, Yes, I kind of forgot the idea of multiple compression drivers blowing into the same throat. I never was too warm to it but I do admit that it would minimize the length of the horn. For sure the right solution would be to make compression driver ...
