I'm gonna post here some HR pics of Response of this 12" BPH i'm modeling. I have some questions OFC as this is my first BPH




This is response with 18Sound 12ND730



This is response of B&C 12NDL76



First, tuning of band pass resonating part is quite high, around 150 Hz. That i don't know if worth.
The woofer is ment to go up to 300-350 Hz, being a part of 3-way midtop system.
I'm trying to model the horn that is more towars horn and less resonating, so i get a tighter sound, less springness & good eff. Getting a look to common BPH like ES18 and HD15 i noticed the very non linar response, that highlines the gap between the horn radiating and the resonating band. Otherwise l this non-linearity shown by HR response i never ever experienced in BPH like ES18 and USB, which i measured several time and i listen more than often. So What to do? Is it still good? Is the HR power response reliable? Should i lower tuning? Is NDL more suitable than ND730 in this case? Hother ways to design & model BPH if not HR?

I hope you realize that 12ND730 is discontinued.

No i didn't relized yet. I stopped buying from 18Sound last years cuz prices just have skyrocketed in 2017. ND730 doesn't appear in my 2017 pricelist, and i'm still waiting for the 2018 one, but i don't se any label saying its discontinued, pretty sad as was the one performed better.

Prices have not changed much in the last 5-6 years. Must be your dealer doing that.
Try 12ND930

I'll try, any other advice or helpfull opinions?
About 18Sound, in my experience all prices have rised up a lot. There were more than one reseller here in Italy.. I had chance to get one 9601 for less than 400 €, get a look now.. Could be i am all wrong but i've been buying from different sources, and all are now more expensive. On the other hand B&C just keeps staying with same prices to me, lower than 18Sound.
EDIT:
ND930 pretty much the same as NDL76 as i expected. The point of my questions is about BPHs, and how far is the simulation from reality, if anyone of you have any guidline in designing that, according to the consideration i wrote and the already modeled one i posted.

We use the 9601 since it was introduced. Actually we used 9600 and asked for some customization that later actually became 9601.
So since 2010 the price have been increased exactly 5 euros.

If you manage to precisely convert the HR data in to a cabinet, it is pretty much spot on.

Yep, i already designed the box, and liters in hornresp have already been adjusted to what i've been able to build on 3d model.
Just the mismatches i had measuring vs simulating (other BPHs) are stopping me from set design and start the building.
Even i dont get the point to choose one NDL76 rather than MB650 if simulation is not close to reality due to BPH hybrids behaviors.

One thing HR cannot tell you is when the response of a BPH goes from useable to honky-mess, largely since that is due to the layout of the cabinet whilst HR only simulates things as a straight, cylindrical design

From my experiences of dabbling with BPHs, you will struggle to get it non-honky above 200Hz

Yeah well, software predictions can only do so much. It is not called R&D for nothing.
You build a box, measure, tweak/build another one, or seven, until you do it right.
If it was that easy everyone would be building boxes.
