Ultimate Open Baffle Gallery

[head1962]

It's real glass, they call it "float" it is not hardened. the holes are made with a waterjet cutting machine. the stainless support, I made myself. Only need a laser cutting machine and a press brake to bend it

My latest effort. A three way narrow baffle OB using a simple folded acrylic baffle.

Cool! What crossover frequencies and slopes are you using? The Neo 10 is going to be doing some pretty hairy stuff off the vertical axis lower than the RAAL can go. Any issues in practice?

 

[Toaster]

Scratch that- I see there is a build thread elsewhere!

What are the drivers?

 

[sawik1977]

Two Sonido SCW400, SFR200a, Fostex ft17h plus attenuator. Still working on crossover.

Stunning !

How large / small are they? It's hard to visualise without a person to scale

If those doors are ~ 2m high then that speaker is huuuuuuuuge. I have to admit that they look really good, nice job!

Big yes for how do they look like despite huge size.Nice work!

 

[Toaster]

Very nice work- very large speakers!

I have to make a baffle large due to low QTS of woofers ~0.3 also there is a bitumen matt between front baffles to low resonance.

Crossed at 175hz. Still not enough!!!!

Jeez! What a look! Are you satisfied with the sonic result? I have SFR200s but they're not roded enough.

Well! This is what I'm working on at the moment. I think coils don't do good for Sonido.

I would drop the crossover to sub 150hz and biamp. I have never heard of Sonido but I assume the woofers are 16" (400mm) and the mid is 8" (200mm) so yes the speaker is as tall as me (1.75m)! Yikes!

But they are so beautiful I assume the WAF is pretty high too.
