MT121 Drivers...

this is true marjan, but any driver thrashed to an inch of its life will sound bad..... for me i would rather take more cabs and have better coverage, than narrow but loud coverage.....

more watts does not make a driver better than a 300w one...... an EFFICIENT 300w driver will out perform a VERYPOOR efficient 600w driver........

no one said use a Very poor driver here .we are all using efficient good reproductive drivers like Pds,p audio.eminence etc. or you saying the drivers mentioned here are very poor?or u just like b&c

not at all tamuks...... some of us no the difference between a good 300w driver and a poor one lol... all drivers we have talked about hear are of good build, and sound......and it is true that what you pay for is what you get...... don't take me wrong the b&c which is my personal fav in the mt is rated peak at 800w........ this is not a 300w driver.......... for me the horn itself plays a big part in what would be my ideal choice of driver, a lot of factors are taken in to consideration before the horn has even been designed when designing from scratch..... But through experience in the field..... i will all ways opt for better coverage, even if it means i take 3 boxes a side to a very high powered 1 box setup..... a good even spread of sound is far better than a narrow high slp one......

In the quest for more and more spl, are we not missing the basics out, in that a system should sound balanced, clean and clear in all parts of a venue..... not just slap bang in front of a stack... with hf that will take your eye balls out, or all sub and no tops.......

the issue with the mt121 is there is a big dip in the response around 900 and rolls out, so to get it to meet the horn you need a 1" or 1.4" comp that can play low..... which there is not that many that can.... so if you xover at about 1.2 to 1.3 k and let the 12" roll off naturally to about 2 to 2.5k this help smooth out the response, and removes the dip in the response, and a little eq......

you dont get the same dip with the mt122, as both the 12" coupled to a 2" gives a fairly flat curve....

sounds ok to me, the only real way to see how bad a dip you may have or have not, is to do some readings using software like smaart etc with an rta mic...... but from looking at the comp specs it seems good to me.....

no, you would need to design a new horn from scratch to fit a plug......
