Wayne, requesting 7 Pi plans for 2226 corner cabinet
Wayne, I think I want to make a attempt at using my JBL 2226's in a corner cabinet. I already have found out how versatile they are in a BR enclosure. Interesting question for you here: If the corners are the same as a fold in a horn, will response to 1.6Khz still work??? Another question if I might: I plan to place my horns on top of the cabinet like I do now, since the woofer will be firing backwards, and the horn forward, how is the voice coil alignment figured out??? I am wondering if you take the woofer wave into the corner and return back, is that taken into account when figuring the time/phase alignment??? Thanks, Ron
These are the speakers you heard at MAF, except that those had an Eminence Omega 15. One thing that most everyone agrees on is that these speakers have an enormously wide "sweet spot" and that they sound very much the same off axis as they do on axis. Many comment on how tonal balance seems to be maintained even as you turn the corner and go into another room. I think that is their best testimony as far as alignment and absense of nulls are concerned.
Wayne, I have the plans, just trying to get my pc to put them in usable format, that is, they are huge and I want to fit them on one screen each so I can read them. Right now I can only see small portion of file on screen at one time. I have some friends trying to help out. thanks, Ron
