Bump!
Yes good question, I'm planning to build the mt-130 for my next spring project.
Marc the designer recommends the pd121 as a budget driver.
But there must be other(more expensive) drivers that have better soundquality.
How about these:
18sound mb600
b&c 12pe32
Beyma 12MI100
All of these are around 150 euro's so not that much more expensive.

Here's an update of what I'm working on This is a pic of a double MT 130 I'm working on This is just a mock up of my patterns to build this box. They are to go on top of Stipe's CBe 18 I've shortened the depth of the cabinet (horn length by about 2 1/2") so the width of the cabinet will fit on top of the Cyclops side by side The horn properties are still the same. I know I will lose some of the lows but I'm hoping to pick it back up by doubling the 12"s Edited by CCAV - 27 February 2012 at 6:46pm |

I have about 20- EV 12L laying around, so I emailed Marc (the designer of the MT 130) and he said this driver will work in this box. I know it's not the most efficient driver these days but I've got a feeling if I'm running 8 tops over 8 Cyclops I can make enough noise to keep me happy. LOL I've always been a do it on a budget type of guy.I'm hoping to finish up the woodwork on the first 4 tops for testing, this weekend
What are you using for your rig? |

Yes that should make plenty of noise!
Still not decided about the mid drivers, it's going to be the B&C or the Beyma. The b&c is a bit more efficient but the beyma has higher powerhandling and xmax, and therefore should be able to be crossed a little lower without hitting the xmax. I'm planning to build: 4x mt-130 loaded with b&c or beyma and BMS 4550 comp. driver 4x MHB-46 loaded with rcf lf18n401 or lf18g401 or maybe the void V-1000 So I can use 1 mhb-46 and mt130 a side for small events and 2 of both a side for larger events. Or 4x mhb-46 centre stacked when space is available. Keep us updated with your buildprogress, allways nice to see other people's efforts. |

How much does the rear chamber size matter with a box like this? Thinking of making two of these without the HF horn section. By no means a master carpenter, and would like to make the box square rather than trap, which would result in a larger rear chamber (and less mitre joints).
There is also mention of this being long throw - will it sound ok in smaller venues too? Thanks :)

what are the differences between MT121s and MT130s? Just the throw?

hey
both are hornloaded mids and both add a good chunk of sensitivity to whatever 12" you use. The MT-130 reportedly goes slightly lower, and it a little bit flatter. They will have a slightly different sound with the 130 being a slot throat, and people describe the fact that the seem to give the impression of being VERY "long throw" to the point of almost sounding weird up close. Once I get my current build out the way i plan to make up some mock ups of the 12" section over the summer and try it out, both with a BMS 12N810 (have two for testing already had this in the back of my head for a while) and an either an eighteensound mb600 or mb1000 (which i'll have to get) and see what they sound like. Long term plan is to make two tops a side that are double 12" high sensitivity drivers (much like above) with the big coax BMS compression driver, and have a go at a double 15" bifurcated ported horn and make three of them a side to sit under. The main problem is that while loads of people have built MT-122s or MT112s, there seems to be very few that have built 130s and no one that I know that has both, so there hasn't really been a huge amount of feedback on them or any chance to properly compare the two. k Edited by kevinmcdonough - 15 May 2012 at 7:27am |

Kevin, please do report on those 12N810. I am also planing some box with those. On paper they look extremely good.

Not my build, nor my speaker, I was just tasked to design the 15" reflex on the bottom.
It is what the customer wanted. What do you think? Edited by DiscernAudio - 05 June 2013 at 3:18pm |
