I still would like to reduce this effect, maybe with a delay, but I don't know if it'll work.Īnother (big) issue is that it seems adding the PR's don't actually boost output much. But then the fact that it is vented will screw up the phase anyways. Even though the crossover is going to be 300-400Hz, I want a linear phase speaker, which won't happen. While this is a convenient configuration, the rear firing woofer is not ideal because it can cause comb filtering. This allows me to use a 1/4'' BB for the enclosure and still have a vibration free cabinet. The tweeter and midrange will be arranged vertically in the horizontal placement. The woofer and woofer will be back to back, and so will the PR's. The enclosure is a pair of dual opposed configuration. In the horizontal configuration, the driver configuration looks like The enclosure will be 14'' x 6'' x 6'' built with 1/4'' baltic birch plywood. Passive radiator: Either 2x Peerless 5.25'' passive radiator or 2x DIY PR from modifying the Tang Band W5-1138SMF. Woofer: 2x Wavecor WF152BD05 6'' Glass-fibre woofer Midrange: Scanspeak 10F/4424G 3.5'' Neodymium midrange Tweeter: Scanspeak Illuminator D3004/6040-10 1'' Beryllium Dome Tweeter Matched directivity and smooth polar response Minimize/eliminate horizontal and vertical lobing errorsģ. Excellent clarity, deep bass response, and extremely high dB per liter ratio for bass.Ģ.


In more specific speaker design goals, I wanted to achieve the following, in no particular order:ġ. What I'm proposing here is a successor that improves upon every performance aspect after learning everything from the previous build.ĭesign goal: Build the highest fidelity small speaker possible with as much bass output as possible in the 40-60Hz region to cover most music well. After too many hours of researching, modelling, thinking, etc, I think I got to a point where the design is mostly complete, and I want to share it here and get some comments on possible improvements from members here that knows much more than I do.įor those interested, I talked about my previous attempt at such a speaker here. First off, I'd like to thank everyone for the incredible help given to me when I was doing research for my ultimate small speaker build.
