In-wall flush mounting
All of my speakers respond well to this kind of placement. They are all designed to be used in quarter-space or eighth-space, and I don't use baffle step compensation filters. My thinking has always been that the baffles are rather large, so the transi...

Re: Three 4Pi's in Basic Black for Home Theater Build Thread
Thanks Nick, I know I talked about it but I tried cutting the cutout for the horn with a jig saw and I had pretty good luck. If I was setting up to crank out the cabinets on a volume basis I would have a template for sure.
So here is what I did. I s...

Re: XO for OB 2-way
It looks like a two-way speaker with direct radiating (open baffle) midwoofer, a helper woofer and CD horn tweeter.
If so, the crossover is very similar to what you would do for a box design. The dipole sets the pattern down low and through the lower...

Baffle Step
In my opinion, baffle step compensation filters can be useful, but only for a fairly limited number of loudspeaker types. I think they are way overused in the DIY community. BSC filters are best suited for little mini-monitor speakers with small baffle...

Re: 4 Pi speaker stands?
I generally suggest stands if subs are used, and no stands if subs aren't used. You can use angled risers instead.
Baffle step is actually a directivity issue, and all my larger speakers employ controlled directivity. The cornerhorns use the corner ...

Re: 7pi Plans
Yes, that's true. I noticed that I mislabeled that a while back, meant to change it and forgot. It's been labeled like that for a while.
About woofer sensitivity, I'd pad the midhorn and tweeter to match. You might build it as-is and measure to fin...

Information about π Speakers
I like the six π or seven π constant directivity cornerhorn speakers if the room has the right corners, or the three π or four π matched-directivity speakers if not. The eight π loudspeaker is sort of a budget hybrid model that also provides uniform dir...

Re: Finally Building Full Range Single Driver Speakers
In our Houston Audio Society meeting Saturday we compared the sound characteristics of several speakers including the TT-2000 and the Jim Griffin bipoles with CSS drivers. The bipoles with their little 4.5" drivers have the more impressive bass of...

Re: Finally Building Full Range Single Driver Speakers
One of the advantages of the offset bipole configuration is that the baffle step is to a certain extent side-stepped. At the frequency where the front woofer (or fullrange) starts to bafflestep, so does the rear one... so its wraparound helps offset the b...

Re: Crossover Question about building line arrays
I've not compared the DBX and Behringer side-by-side but an earlier version of the DBX that I heard worked well for my customer. You probably could find some opinions on a pro audio site because that's where the two are primarily used.
The unit I m...
