using horn response and the measurements from our HD215's i've been able to simulate the HD15 using conical sections as an approximation of the exponential horn first off the input screen :- http://img46.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc247&image=910_HD15_input.jpg"> and the plot for the Eminence Kappa 15LF (95dB, 600W, 5.5mm Xmax) http://img45.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc153&image=2b3_HD15_response.jpg"> i'll break the sims down by manufacturer over the following posts |

it was originally done to match the plot rog put up with the design 1 bin in 1/4 space which is the same as 2 in half space (what we use above one X1) unfortunately horn response won't allow multiple bins when the horn is sectioned like this but it would let you put 1 bin in 1/8 space to give you the plot of 4 in half space there's nothing to stop anyone using the horn dimensions and doing it themselves or am i being too lazy? |

Hi Dave Could you please simulate the RCF L15P300 in the HD15. I have two speakers at home and I dont know would they be good for the HD15. here the parameters http://lsb1.free.fr/l15p300.pdf - http://lsb1.free.fr/l15p300.pdf |

| I don't have a response plot handy but I tried the L15P300 in a similar horn simulation and they looked pretty good. I'd say they'd be fine in the HD15. |

cheers dave, this is a great resource!
have you modelled the horn 'straight-up' or have you somehow compensated for the resonant component of the cabinet? i'd be very interested to know how if so - ive always felt an ordinary horn expansion model wont quite capture the magic of the bin. theyre just that bit louder than they reasonably should be innit? ;) so what are people's opinions? whats the new best bet when it comes to driving everyone's favourite short horn? there's some 'unknowns' in amongst that lot that look very promising. interesting stuff although it has to be said, one of the most important considerations for a bin with the impulse of an hd has to be the responsiveness of the driver, and this doesnt show up on the plot. some of those fanes look like they should sound great, but in practice they'll end up sounding all mushy |

interesting points loophole maybe i should've put the EBP by each driver as well anyways the simulation is based around the HD215 that Dom and i use when i did the plan for that box i took the original measurements for the curve and drew 18mm flat panels over the top to approximate it this created a series of conical expansions which i have then used the dimensions of to create this model i've also allowed for the baton around the mouth it'll never be identical but side by side i think it's close enough to use Rogs Plot Kappa 15LF http://img23.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc278&image=e15_HD15_Rog_Plot.jpg"> Horn Response Sim Kappa 15LF http://img45.imagevenue.com/img.php?loc=loc153&image=2b3_HD15_response.jpg"> |

i don't use a batten round the mouth, which is one reason i get a bit more sub than most people seem to with their hds. im also very into sneeky corner loading, stabbing other peoples drivers up with a screwdriver and other such dirty tricks :D
when you approximated the curve, did you plan the new panels so the edges where they meet are on the circumference of the curve, or so that the midpoints of the panels are on the circumference. or somewhere in between? it makes quite a difference, because the first will decrease RC volume and widen the horn path, while the other will do the opposite. i should really start to build mitred boxes, its sooo much less effort. ive always wondered what would happen if you made an hd with a conventional expansion instead of a radiused curve. could never tell whether it was laziness on rog's part to design it like that, or a genius trick that the rest of us dont know about - neither would surprise me :P i wonder whether rog's plot also ignores the bandpass magic factor. maybe i'm biased but ive always loved hybrids, im sure theres something going on that hornresp can't account for... |

on the horn side the curve meets the panels at roughly the midpoints i tried the other way but felt it didn't approximate it well enough to be honest the difference is minimal we're talking a couple of mm at most which works out to the sim being about 10cm2 smaller in area at the endpoints of the panels given the fact that horn response only allows 4 sections i doubt very much you'd be able to get it any better certainly you'd be hard pushed to notice the difference in the sim if you did in some way allow for those 10cm2

Even given that there may be funny room modes going on with my plots, i think the bandpass element adds quite a lot to the sound. The sims show a peaky response with my measurements a lot flatter and lower before rolling off. I did a number of different measurements with the mic at different positions before settling on the one i did but i can say that the rest were all fairly typical of what you see there. I can also say that the first time i heard 8 of Dom's together it was whilst setting up a DnB night and they were certainly belting out the bottom end (whether i was really hearing the fundamental is cause for discussion tho..) so i'd say that his plots for multiple cabs also doesn't necessarily represent whats going on. I'm running 6 next saturday (plus 2 double 18 subs) in the basement bar at the Stratford Rex (if anyone knows the room). I'm expecting it to be fairly intense in that space, especially as the stack only goes under the roof with 20mm to spare. Anything i should consider with reflections off the roof with the top end horns that close? ------------- My laser stuff: http://www.facebook.com/SubsonicSystems" rel="nofollow - Frikkin Lasers |

Hi,
I have been looking around for Drivers for my next build - 8 HD15s..
I have come accross the Celestion FTR15-4080FD and FTR15-4080HD for a good price and I was wondering if either of thease would be suitable for the HD15...
I have also had a go at working this out in HornResp but it baffled me..
The TS for the Drivers are :
FTR15-4080HD
and
FTR15-4080FD
Any chance anyone could do a sim???
Cheers,
Adam.

Dave,
I've finally got to taking the back off my hd's and found that the drivers used are rcf L15L601's.
i've dug out the t+s for them and was wondering if you would be really kind and helpfull and stick them in the magic graph maker and model it for me.... i've had them running with PD loaded bins on a few occasions but never had enough time to do an a/b test. I like em, would love to see what the theory says!

Right I might be getting four hd15 this weekend as a second rig. Does that plot for the sn15b look doable? reason I ask is I can get these easily, I would use some kind of sub, either an x1 or a reflex to do the 30<60hz [ish maybey a heigher crossover, whatever works] for a small rig does it look like a good idea? Thanks Markk. ------------- me so horny me love you long throw horn loaded for her pleasure |

Tell you what, the plot for the SN15-B looks great to me. Its really flat so you can use one box per side if you want (of course with sub underneath).
You plan sounds good, I would be pleased if that was my A rig

Hi there Wondering if the Omega Pro 15 will work in this? There have been many different sets of parameters but the design of the speaker has never changed (according to a gentleman at eminence). So it is safe to go by the latest listed parameters: http://eminence.com/proaudio_speaker_detail.asp?web_detail_link=OMEGAPRO-15A&speaker_size=15&SUB_CAT_ID=1 - HERE Could you plot this? I have four drivers so would plan to make four cabs. |

How would I enter these details into Hornresp myself? The current version of hornresp (v21.00) has different input parameters. Does anyone have the version that is shown in the pics?

i will have 4 of those celestion drivers this weekend, may switch out the pd.154 out just to test, celestions currently loaded in a dual bandpass 15" sub,
although that would just be done via ear as i have no testing equipment

hi jordy,
i would recommend a driver with an xmax higher than that, 5mm and above will work well

If given a sweep approx. 80-170 Hz. Unfortunately I don't have an opportunity to hear it in my homeland. Is there always 100-120 Hz bump? Which T-S params to bear in mind for more plain response?

HD15 is a "kick"-horn, so ya want the "boom" at ~120Hz, that's why it's a kick-horn! Just use ya eq. to "change" the frequences as ya want. ------------- Who the fu&k is Mr. Phanton, and why he has so much power!? |

from what i remember of the 1550 sim was that it was only about 1-2db higher than pd154, and most of the debates i have seen about comparing the two drivers, most people said that in their opinion it wasn't worth roughly double the cost, 2 hd15's loaded with 154's coupled up would obviously be better but obviously twice as big and heavy, and you have the cost of building an extra cab. I was having a conversation with someone just a few days ago about driver choice and high sensativity v's high power handling and xmax which is usually associated with lower sensativity, and also we discussed how now-days wattages are just going up and up to achieve the same end spl. He asked me again which drivers I thought were better, and I said in my opinion it often comes down to how big your van is and how big an audience you want to do, If you have a truck, use a larger number of bigger high sensativity cabs, if you only have a transit van (short wheel base) and need to do an audience of maby 1000 ish then go for a smaller number of cabinates with the new breed of drivers often handling about 1500w each cost after all modern amps are cheap, small and lightweight compared to carrying the extra cabs ------------- The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few..... or the one. |

Yes, actually it does seem to be the case that very suddenly the price of the 1550 has dropped a lot! maby due to the new 1551 coming out? :s going back a few months it was the general consensus of opinion that it wasn't worth the extra cash, but I guess now it can be easily enuff justified. I seem to remember the 1550 is a little bit lighter, which should make moving them a bit more pleasant too :D ------------- The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few..... or the one. |

Hello Dave and everybody, such a nice & usefull thread, but please help, it NEEDS UPDATING! New neo NOW! First: as you probably know the prices for neo's are going up NOW, several rcf drivers are 2/3 of the factory price from thomann, they didn't rise the price yet! I consider to buy Neos NOW! mid-bassdrivers: Driving a hd15 to 250 hz can be relevant for tms-2 and tse-111 alike cabinets (ev sh-1810, das st110 etc). DJ-leco asked for RCF MB15N401 sims, I would really like to see that sim Now!-) rcf-info: How can the the RCF_LF15N401 have a higher spl than pd.158 when the sensitivity is lower? Missing graph -As tweeter box pointed out in the year 2009 the pd.154 & pd.1550 sims are gone! -Are they censored? Or just missing by mistake? THANK YOU SO MUCH PLEASE ANSWER :-) |

rcf-info: How can the the RCF_LF15N401 have a higher spl than pd.158 when the sensitivity is lower? this can probably easily be explained by the quite considerably higher power handling (300w more) but probbaly more importantly the higher x-max, i think when i just looked them up the rcf is around 8mm and the pd only around 6mm, when it comes to producing high spl bass quite often high x-max is more important than sensativity, thou ultimatly it helps to have a high ish figure on both, sadly as x-max goes up sensativity usually goes down. Except of course with cheap rubbish speakers (eg, skytech, class D, soundlab etc) where both figures tend to be rubbish! ------------- The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few..... or the one. |

good point for max spl , but are these sims not all at the same 1 or 10 watts or something low? |
Posted By: djwes99
Date Posted: 20 September 2011 at 9:23pm
|
ah yes, of course these sim's are probably based on 1w1m or similar. Well the other reasons will probably be things like..... The sensativity quoted by manufacturer is average sensativity, so even thou one driver may have a higher average, it may be at 1khz which for a hd15 is of no benefit at all..... other reasons may be the QTS and VAS figures, if these figures are higher then the driver might want a bigger box and as a result it may be slightly restricted in a small sealed cab like the hd15..... those are the main things i can think of at the moment :\ ------------- The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few..... or the one. |

I think I've seen that 2226 sim around. Edit: Just forgot I wanted to sim that for you, have the values on my other pc, I will sim it for you next time, otherwise just try, it looks complex but it's just about putting in the right values. If you have any chance, sell them & buy pd.154, here in Dk 2226 almost sell for the price of a new pd.154 I just simmed the drivers I mentioned above myself, and i come up with ONE BIG QUESTION: Hov do hornresp respond to driver sensivity? I guess it does. For me it seems like rcf mb15n401 / lf15n401 has the SAME sensivity in the horn! But in the specs mb is 100db / LF is 97 db Is that the bl factor getting lf up on the side of mb? Any suggestions I Tried to model the tms-2 horn myself from daves method, and I don't really understand about that extra path length, but the sim seems to work out pretty well. The tms-2 horn is DIFFERENT! The back chamber is relatively smaller & front chamber bigger . |

Did anyone ever find out what the HD15's sound like with Celestion drivers at all ? Just was thinking of using a couple of Celestion FTR15-4080F in an HD-215 but also have 3 single cabs that I need to think about loading shortly. Reason Im looking at these particular drivers is because I can get a very good price on them. -Myles |
