Omega super 3 clone

[aviv007]

Hello,

I'm interesting to start a new project -clone of Omega Super 3. Did someone here tried to build this speaker ?
I need all the information i can get,especially about the internal of the cabinet (scheme and damping)...

Regards
Aviv

That os pretty close in shape to Mileva... but Mileva actually uses the height of the cabinet to its advantage instead of just being a bass reflex... i am close to publishing final plans but i could send you the draft ones.

Chris has a pair in his TV/HT room. They work well.

Thank you for the response. I saw already this project ,but i'm trying to stay as close to the original one...
Maybe you know ,if the super 3 use the same instruction in the inside of the cabin ?!....

I'm not sure anyone really knows but i think the Super is basically the same DBR eclosure as the recommended box by Fostex with the opening on the back.

Just a guess.

AFAIK it's just a basic MLTL, with a sand-filled lower chamber. Nothing fancy. All the external dimensions are given on Omega's site, so guesstimating the rest is easy enough.

what the DIY community really needs is a portable ultrasonic scanner - then all the guessing would be over

perhaps CTU has one to spare


Seriously, though I think Louis would suggest (as would Ed Schilling) that there's more inside their boxes than you might think you can "intuitively reverse engineer"

I can confirm that Dave's Mileva design works well, and is a much easier build than a BLH (it also has higher WAF) - a direct comparison to the Frugelhorn will probably take a few days to set up.

Maybe, you have a link for this one ?

Actually that's a complete fluke - I had to do a quick google on the name myself, after Dave said "that sounds rather Russian" I guess he was geographically close enough.

It actually came about as a sort of acronym - the cabinet is a (folded) Ma$$ Loaded Voigt Pipe - it could have just have easily received a more literal set of vowels (malovo) but that didn't sound quite as poetic. Since the first pair I built were for my wife, the feminine just sounded right.

Now, back to the regularly scheduled program ......

Outside dims are similar and can be modified to be the same as the Omega box as long as you keep the inside volume of the two chambers the same as the recommended box.

So, not the same as the Omega but similar and probably also excellent.

Peace,

PS. Avi, do you take krav mega? I have been doing it the past two years. It makes you into an animal. I love it!
