I have been doing some experiments with facets to smooth the tweeter FR curve. The facets were made with a router using an approach shown in the attached photos. I have seen some made here using saws; but, this seemed safer and more flexible. Fairly arbitrary size can be made with simple tooling.
The FR graph is for a DQ25. The top curve is for a square edged baffle 8" by 12" with the tweeter 2.5" down from the top. The facets start about 3" from the top edge and extend about 9.5 " down. The second curve is for 3/4" facets. The third curve is for a 1.25 facet on one side and the fourth curve is for 1.25" facets on both sides. The curves are offset to show the differences. I ran some larger facets later; the curves did not get smoother.
