Indeed, that graph has a filter at 140 Hz, but the cab is supposedly to go down to 100Hz.. by the way, I had another measurement today and I have to admit it's not a total winning idea. I would expect it better.. I will try to switch on a bigger compression driver, 1,4 or more probabily 2", cuz it's the sufferinf band when you push it. But 15 + 8 is not bad at all, just I found difficulties in matching the 8 and the 1". Even if i get the cut lower, the 1" doesn't have enough.. will see..

Because it peaks at 150 Hz quit strongly, you should be able to make it go down to at least 125 Hz in an enclosure of similar size. Also, up to what frequency does it sound good?

I measured, it does go down around 100 /120 Hz. Would say the 1" driver is the source of harshness. Everything up to 1 kHz comes out strong and spread well. I don't know. Everytime i'm on a hurry doing measurements, cans stay listening for long.. But i would say the tweeter have something strange when plays loud. It is DE550 filtered at 1,5kHz with 24db/oct filter.

DE550 is a very high quality driver with large voice coil. So with such a high crossover even on a small horn it shouldn't be the cause of distortion.
From the looks of that 8-horn, the rough throat and mouth will cause som very objectionable diffraction/reflections/HOMs. These kinds of linear distortion are perceptively non-linear and happen in the CD's lower passband, so its quite in line with your subjective observation. Deffinately loosen up that 8-horn to let it breath a bit. The problems is not really within the effective range of the phaseplug. An 8" driving a straight horn without any compression chamber will go higher than 1,5Khz and also have improved LF response. Once you have the lower mid in order, you can play around with a phaseplug to extend the upper mid response. I don't mean to talk ill of your attempts, just dont spend money and time fixing the CD-horn non-issue. Best regards Fred |

Thanks Fred. I always appreciate your precious advices. I had played around with phase plug for a while. I would love to try fill the front chamber even more or try a different phase plug design at least.
You've seen what i've done in previous pictures. I would avoid to model the plug inside the horn, as still throat is very tight (around 40sqcm), i would so try to model something that fills up the front chamber (very small, just the volume of the paper cone) while it splits the phaths and keeps some kind of horn expansion. Any suggestion on that? This is how it looks now. The plug stays 0,5 to 1 cm from the cone. Edited by LeruSound - 09 August 2018 at 2:06pm |
