I'm doing some testing with the HiVi K1 in the MCM waveguide. The interface was very smooth and I didn't expect any weird nulls. And for the most part I didn't except for the WG loaded response was LOWER than stock from 7k-20k Hz. Under 7k was quite a bit higher as expected. Check it out:
Sorry they are both in red. WG loaded starts out higher and ends lower than stock. But that's not what's really bothering me. I went to Zaph's site to compare results. I think HiVi changed the K1. They seem to be using parts from the X1R. Zaph's FR for the X1R starts to dip at 10k Hz, mine starts a little sooner, but they both have that sharp valley at 16k Hz. Mine also starts to rolloff sooner, again closer to the X1R FR than the K1 from Zaph.And my CSD is closer to Zaph's X1R than his K1:
What do you guys think of the WG result and switcharoo HiVi pulled? I'll get some better pics up tomarrow so the FR is easier to read.
