Re: shouting voices
Room modes definitely exist up into the lower midrange. If the speakers sound right outdoors, then it's the room. That's a relatively easy test.
If it's the room, I'd suggest trying a multisub arrangement. The idea is to make an array of subs to sm...

Re: Midhorns and boundary loading
Both horns will have nearly the same response in small to medium sized rooms (provided driver breakup doesn't do weird stuff above 1kHz). The differences will be a little easier to notice outdoors. Even there, the biggest difference will be fullness of...

Midhorns and boundary loading
The 9π midbass and midrange horns were designed to work properly in true freespace, flown outdoors. When used indoors, you can usually use a smaller horn.
I've found that horns designed for use below 300Hz are able to get boundary loading in small ro...

Loudspeaker sensitivity and boundary loading
I wondered about the sensitivity too, and how much padding I'd need to match the tweeter. What I found is you don't pad down the tweeter any more than you do with the Delta 12LF. It's acting like its more like 95dB-96dB when baffle mounted. I am anxio...

Crossover optimization for DI-matched two-way speakers
This is how I find a crossover that satisfies all the conditions required to simultaneously match the woofer and tweeter sensitivities, provide top-octave equalization for the compression driver's mass rolloff, maintain smooth acoustic phase free from ab...

Crossover optimization for DI-matched two-way speakers
Recently I started a new project, and like all of my loudspeakers, I designed it to provide uniform coverage over a 90°x40° pattern. As most of you know, this means the loudspeaker has to be capable of providing good response throughout its coverage area...

Re: Two midbass horn layouts...
There are a lot of ways to skin a cat. But as for me, I try to keep the sound sources above the Schroeder frequency spaced so they sum constructively through a fairly large vertical arc which means relatively tight vertical spacing. The crossover shoul...

Re: Help please ... from the bottom up
Response for the tower two π speaker looks like this:
This is a pseudo-anechoic measurement, so the bass isn't shown. The towers have nice, deep, full bass though. To put numbers on it, f3 is 40Hz and f10 is about 30Hz.
Its impedance curve ...

Re: Reports from LSAF '09
Thanks for saying, Dave. I appreciate that from you.
I have the exact same system this year I did last year, but this time I brought subs. Helps to smooth the room modes.
You know, This year I don't know where everyone is. Shane might. He prett...

Re: 2Pi Towers - potential mods
There are two issues, which I'll describe in more detail below. One is the cabinet size and the other is the position of the port and woofer relative to the cabinet walls. Cabinet size sets Helmholtz frequency, as does port size. That determines bass re...
