Monacor SPH-145HQ

[BrechtVD]

Hi all,

Someone out there who have detailed measurement of a Monacor driver: SPH-145HQ. (5 ½ inch driver)

http://www.monacor.de/en/products/speaker-technology/hi-fi-speakers/5/sph-145hq/

Because with the measurement available on the site (frequency response) and the T/S- parameters, it looks like a quite nice driver for, for example a bookshelf 2-way speaker.
Frequency response


T/S-Parameters


Because it has a not that high Vas and a good Qts to put it in a (small) vented box and with the resonant frequency of 52Hz you will get pretty low with a pretty small box.
And then you also have a SPL of 88 dB and a nice flat frequency response.
But I don’t find anything of the non-linear distortion or off-axis measurements. Someone?? Or where do I find in general advanced measurement of drivers??

And of course some pictures



Thanks is advance!!

Didn't Klang & Ton have a project with these beauties?

[BrechtVD]

On this forum??
Because I did a quick search and I didn't found anything...

But if there is one thing for sure than it’s indeed that these are beautiful drivers!!

No the german magazine.

And it was the SPH-175HQ I was thinking about.

It measured about the same as Monacors data with good dispersion up to 2kHz. Qts and Fs a little higher and Vas a little lower than Monacor.

Hope it helps, it's a driver in the same family at least... :P

Here's another test of the 175: http://www.hifitest.de/test/lautspre...sph-175hq_6957

Lol XD
Better googled it before posting a reply

Now I have a starting point to know what to expect from these drivers, thanks!!

I have found measurements of the driver on that same site, I just was looking in the internet in the wrong language. Monacor is a German driver so it’s logic that I found much more in that language :W

And I also find that speaker you where talking about, again thanks for the help and I learned again You can’t find everything on the internet in English, almost everything but sometimes not enough
