I kind of got stuck in selecting an upper midrange driver, above 2kHz. If a driver is going to screech in your ears it is going to be in these frequencies. I was never really satisfied with the range of 1" compression drivers I tried. That is wha...
|
Thanks, Eduardo, very interesting. The YL 75000 has no phase plug and 70Hz with 1” trout. It look to me like a conventional diver. Which beds a question: if to reduce compression with our classic drivers, loose plug off and reduce power then can we ...

[quote user="MINGSU"] Since they are very old pair of driver, I will recommend you to send them to GOTO Japan to make sure the driver are up to the spec. so you can be sure …. [/quote] Ok, but then they need to send them to me then in order I inform ...

Johan, I understand what you are saying. This is kind of James’ barn thread and if you do not mind can you share with him one thing, I think that many others, including me, would be interested to learn the answer to this question: What did you gain g...
|
Some drivers have a rising db curve from low to high frequencies. The horn may help with flattening the FR. If the FR of a given coaxial compression driver is flat, I would agree with your conclusion....
|
It is very easy to figure out acoustically. Feed the drivers and their crossover with a reference tone of fixed amplitude and fixed frequency, roughly in the middle of crossover point. Disconnect one of the drivers and measure the acoustic pressure e...

[quote user="Paul S"]Thanks, Scott L. I get the math, and no doubt hearing is believing. Still, I do know for certain that "a driver" can be influenced by a defined amount of trapped air in an enclosure, at least as far as the sound that comes from ...
|
Nice to see someone actually try it. I know that fast rates "work" from MF and up; but I have not tried it with compression drivers/high gain/LF.Thanks for sharing.Best regards,Paul S...
|
BTW, to illustrate my point. Here is typical Goto inhalation. In fact this is the better among others as to be typical the MF divers need to be lined up horizontally. I can hardly believe a person needed to be more Moron to voluntary arrange drivers ...
|
I was right before but now I really review my rightness for a new perspective. Yes, the compressions drivers are the subject of clean signal but it what I witness with the new 6-chenals DSET put what I said above in another extreme dimension. I do no...
|
Gordan, I think you are missing the accent of what I meant to say. The Class A or not is not important for compression drivers and the S3 in particularly. I mean it is important and it much be ONLY class A but I do not see any SS amps switching in cl...
|
I like those ideas for tuning texture, and would add the way the surround is done and how it is clamped/bedded, which might be relatively easy to control, maybe even on the fly (with some sort of cam, for example). So far, it seems to work best to "...

|
The thing I notice with live music is the way the sound at all audible frequencies has articulated drive like I never hear with "true HF tweeters", or at least not the "tweeters" that go way up there. I got some sense of this drive and nat...
|
Yes, the tamed beast is an oxi-moron. I thought of my 808s as ragged, rough (grainy) and spitty, while the S2 was also ragged/uneven, but the roughness was more like the sound of a metal zipper. Anyway, I never heard either of these stock drivers m...
|
Ok, since you people stop to drop the euphoric saliva around the Goto subject I think it would be worth to outline my interest in Goto. Not only worth but I kind of feel an obligation. I feel that my site surprisingly has become a resource that ...

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 :...

Josh, I do not have a
definitive answer to this question with witch I feel comfortable. I need to say
that I had a multiple experiments in multiple audio fields and I always felt
that excessive or too limited magnetic force is not always complimen...

Thanks for your quick reply. I have been to assistance audio`s website, however was unable to find such model, but is possible they just disassembled the tweeter or whatever.This is really interesting news, about their violin reproduction, me too wou...

[quote user="Macman"]Hi Romy,Its an Altec 416-8A driver in a ~100 Hz exponential horn, Jbl 2441 in 350Hz tractix, Aurum Cantus G1 tweeter and Eminence Definimax 4012 HO in ~30Hz Tapped horn.I just hooked it up and the highs are promising but I though...

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...

I have heard some nice speakers in Germany using the Mundorf Air Motion Transformers. No saliva, ample "substance" in their tone and a very nice integration.http://www.mundorf.com/AMTnews/MUNDORF_PRO_AMT_FLYER_2012.pdfhttp://www.enjoythemusic.com/sup...

[quote user="amdismal"]The crossovers were fourth order, which is what I use on my horns. Second order, I have found, can give a better blending, but reduced the delicacy and transparency in my system. But it's very complicated, and further exacerb...

I do not know any advantages because the fact that the sound softer. I personally believe that the electromagnets have HIGHER MOMENTUM FLUX MODULATION and that make them to “sit” slightly… or exactly what I would like t...

[quote user="Jorge"]I tend to like drivers with plastic suspension. Radian makes retrofit diaphragms for JBL with plastic suspension, maybe they will help you achieve the tone you are looking for.
Extensions are easy to machine out of aluminum, eve...

[quote user="cv"] Well, the Cogent (Steve Schell and Rich Drysdale) boys are building just such a beast: field coil magnet, (possible) permendur polepieces for >2T, Fs 70Hz, throat - dunno, but at least 3" dia, reduced compression ratio relative t...

We understand that Charlus’ selection of drivers are not a selection yet but some kind of very preliminary idea of the drivers that he feels like he like. I said “he feels like he like” not accidently. I do not think Charlus, or anybody else in h...

ltsv38, it is an interesting solution for lower midrange horn. If I use something like this for Macondo ‘s fundamental channel (but of cause spherical) then I would flip the horn with driver up and run the neck longer to accommodate a slower, expone...
