| Should be a good combo, Dom had some cabs with Porn Mk1 12" horns and Limmer 042 which he spoke highly of. |

i ve been using the limmer042/12 in horn underneath.good combo.takes a while getting the delays right,as crossed at 500,if you get it wrong,it can make vocals less pure(split across two drivers).also,the limmer has a very clean sound,which can take a while getting used to if you are used to 'crunchy' snares. ------------- all that glitters is not gold |

http://img245.imageshack.us/i/lim042.jpg/"> hi,i built the crossover recommended on the speakerstore site.it works very well.before that,i used an ultradrive,and ended up crossing around 2-3k,but found a 5way active rig too complicated. ------------- all that glitters is not gold |

Installation
dimensions 358x358mm Phase plug in the 6''Horn Suitable for midrange driver 6'' e.g. The Ciare 6.38MR3. Separation at about 500Hz ------------- Music is the strongest form of magic.(+45 31879997)blakmanpro@gmail.com, foa@sweetboxaudio.dk |

of course it is specially when you use 1way that you was not supposed too...i don't understand why you choose the limmer 312 indeed of limmer 085.
312 according to the limmer website go only from 300hz and up, the 085 go enough down to meet a sub so you would have only 4way with it.

How does your limmer keepup with the 12" , cause we was thinking of 2x12" an the limmer on top of that. you get me? 2mt section per Limmer 042 , we are just waiting for the limmers  ------------- Music is the strongest form of magic.(+45 31879997)blakmanpro@gmail.com, foa@sweetboxaudio.dk |

I've been wondering about this combo for a while. Isn't the dispersion of the 042 much wider than that of the MT122 12" -section? Just off the top of my head... Clean looking cabs Francis!

Not really - I used to run mark 1 porn horns with limmer 042 tops which is a similar combination The limmer combo plays down so low (500hz) that the 12" section isn't really directional at all in it's bandwidth... ------------- "It sounded like a million fire engines chasing ten million ambulances through a war zone and it was played at a volume that made the empty chair beside me bleed." |

| How big/small back box volumes have you used for the ciare 6.38mr2 in limmer042? |
Posted By: Father-Francis
Date Posted: 25 May 2011 at 9:25pm
Did a few jobs without any back box , and notice that the sound from the 6.38 was very low at 15-20 metres so am making some moulds different sizes and will let you know what size sounds best, ------------- Music is the strongest form of magic.(+45 31879997)blakmanpro@gmail.com, foa@sweetboxaudio.dk |

When I did my Limmer/Porn horns the back box for the 6.38 was as small as they could possibly be. The back box was basically the same internal diameter as the baffle cutout and the same depth as the driver. The back of the back box was an aluminium plate that acted as a heatsink for the magnet. We did some modelling of the driver and horn in Akabak and it wanted a tiny rear chamber, of the order of 0.5litres... I'm probably going to stick them up in the for sale section at some point if anyone's interested... ------------- "It sounded like a million fire engines chasing ten million ambulances through a war zone and it was played at a volume that made the empty chair beside me bleed." |

| Thank you! That's what I was thinking also. The limmer p2 and p3 designs (speakerstore.nl) just have some bigger enclosures behind ciare that confused me a bit. |

I’ve been playing around with the limmer combination for a while now. Small rear chamber volume is definitely the way to go. Sounds sweet in short throw applications. ------------- it's all just cardboard and magnets really |

What crossover points did you use?  |

Date Posted: 05 April 2013 at 5:41pm

12" run from 140-around 950-1000 the Ciare 6.38MR3 runs from 900-3k then BC. DE25 does, the rest you can always fine tune from there if you don´t like the sound . Francis ------------- Music is the strongest form of magic.(+45 31879997)blakmanpro@gmail.com, foa@sweetboxaudio.dk |

Nice, thanks :) Been thinking about the mt limmer combo but just weighing up costings and things :s What's your opinion on the cab? Would you recommend it? |
Posted By: Father-Francis
Date Posted: 05 April 2013 at 7:09pm
|
it´s a good cab just don´t put three per side in a thin room cause the top spreads quite much. two per side max. ------------- Music is the strongest form of magic.(+45 31879997)blakmanpro@gmail.com, foa@sweetboxaudio.dk |

the limmer 308 aint exactly new at all afaik.. unfortunately they are too shallow/small to meet "usual" kicks properly imo - i would go with Bens/Bees take on "porn horns"/"SP12s" if i would consider such a 4way setup.. |
