Feedback on MTM planar enclosure/driver selection

[crackyflipside]

Looking for feedback on this crossover I've been kicking around for my cousin who really wants a planar tweeter.

It's an MTM with 6" Dayton RS150 mids and a planar tweeter. I want to use the Dayton PT2C-8 but it has an aggressive roll-off after 10kHz, which makes me want to redesign...

For years, I wanted to design my own speakers, but didn't understand the intricacies that went into it. For all I knew, you bought a 2500 hz crossover from parts express, picked a woofer and tweeter that looked cool and went at it. It wasn't until i really got into DIY speaker building that I understood...

I've read it improves phase shift, delay, voltage ringing in capacitors, inductor compression, complimentary induction between inductors, compression from heat generation in resistors and capacitors, variances in component values and decoupling of the amp from the driver. Also each amp only amplifies...

I'm designing a pair of bookshelf loudspeakers with a friend. My friend has decent experience in woodworking but little in crossover design. Prior to working on this project, has has completed a pair of full range and 3-way speakers (With a pre-manufactured crossover for the 3-way - It did not sound...

What are some good sources online to learn about passive crossover design? Right when I think I'm beginning to figure it all out, I learn something new (Baffle step diffraction, driver impedance matching). I'm just beginning to understand the purpose of L-Pads and Zobels but have no idea how to calculate...

The Isiris never got it's own build thread, being the culmination of the "Three Way Evil Design Study" - it didn't seem very urgent, as only two pair were expected to be built world wide, due to availability issues with the NS12-513-4A woofer. Of course, that part of the design can be redone...

This is my first build of my own design. I have been mentally designing it for years. There were always more questions than answers but now I'm ready to start the build.

This thread was created for the purpose of introducing all the key concepts and documentation for the completed Wavecor Ardent without having to roam through the journal of the original Wavecor Ardent Thread. A little bit of the history of the Ardent project will be included in the introduction, but...

Surprisingly, several people have contacted me about the possibility of an update to the NatalieP, more than just a tweeter tweak- and the possibility of a more compact shelf friendly version.

Recent driver evaluations have opened the feasibility of discussion and development on this topic,...

Introduction

Many impressive small monitor projects have been presented on the pages of HT Guide and other publications, with the concept that, if you mate this with a good "bass bin" concept for music, you will have an exceptional high performance system. The proposed Ascent...

Hi,

After many years of having the drivers and crossovers and a number of failed attempts I am finally putting in the work to finish my ZaphAudio ZRTs.

Due to the cabinets being both no longer available and the huge shipping costs that I would have to bare to get a pair...

You can't have a new speaker without a new center channel to compliment it for home theater.

During the last several years the original Statements have been frequently used as mains for home theater systems. The original Statements...

Here are the Schlafmutze Mini MT’s!

This speaker design is still in progress. As things get closer to the end I will update this thread and put all the relevant, permanent details into these first few posts. For now here is the start of the project and where the progress is at, currently....

I'm creating this thread just so I won't continue thread jacking other ones when related topics come up- :roll:


The Arvo Pärt Picante is a very new project (about a couple weeks old!) which has been motivated/inspired by a number of diverse factors.

I need to get the baffle layout posted still, but here's 5-6dB of BSC.










R2 can range from 1-3.5ohm depending on whether you like more of a downward tilt (1ohm - 1.5ohm) or an upward tilt.

Don't want the BSC?
