The last couple of weeks have been very busy with some non-audio related stuff, sort of like training assistance for former colleagues, culminating in their attendance at the IEEE APEC conference in Long Beach this week. It was sort of fun to review stuff, create sanitized and redacted presentations to loan out, and also fully back up my main former work computer, my own iMac Pro. It's great that all the weird software I ended up buying myself due to company budgets is on a reliable working computer and I can take things back up on a moments notice.
BUT!!!
Now I'm taking the SMJ-40 Saint-Saëns back up, and not on a moment's notice. And I need to ship out to Steve the Seiji Ozawa recording of the Cminor Symphony No. 3 that I got from a vendor in Germany, so that he'll have it to enjoy once this project reaches it's logical or illogical conclusion! For now, I can say it's getting closer, and I'm reporting on the most recent work, and showing a little more about how the sausage is being made.
It has been a long awaited moment, to being ready to start loading one of the MF-HF cabinets and be able to test in consideration of the cabinet acoustics.
There are some key bits to have on hand, having already mounted binding posts for the midrange sub enclosure.
This is all for assembling the cabling to connect to the midrange driver- terminal lugs matching the binding posts in the mid subenclosure, and a ratcheting wrench for tightening those nuts down with limited working angle through the front.
This is a picture of the midrange wiring, before having stripped the full outer layer of insulation off the Cardas 101, in order to have better flexibility when positioning the driver. Your choice whether to use crimp on female spade terminals or to solder to the table on the PT-5010; I chose to do the latter.
Very recommended tools for this process are the adjustable spring loaded automatic center punch, and that 13mm ratcheting wrench for the binding post nuts.
