Question full range speaker

[nandax]

i am currently using Visaton FR 12 8 ohm
http://www.visaton.com/en/industrie/...nd/fr12_8.html
i made passive bandpass filter to adjust the cut off frequency
because the freq response (f(-10 db)) = 70- 18000Hz
but i have the problem with the treble sound , if there is high pitch the sound becomes bad..
can someone give me suggestion please..

Hi nandax, can you post a description of your enclosure, and the circuit with the component values?

What do you mean by this? Does it get harsh sounding or dull, muddy sounding?

I'm sorry but i couldnt attach the schematic, i dont know why..

what i mean the sound getting harsh when it goes to treble sound or if I increase the volume

Hi,

I tried Boxsim (Visaton driver simulations software with measured data), something like this could sound more relaxed:


Dashed line is without filter, simulated in a 30x20cm Baffle 30l Closed Box.

Hi nandax, without the schematic and box dimensions, it's hard to say. The circuit's design might be at fault, or it might be an individual component that is defective, or the amp, or a driver etc. It could be anything.

Did you design the circuit, or did the design come from elsewhere?

[chops]

What are the cutoff frequencies of the bandpass? Also, you might need to insert a Baffle Step Compensation (BSC) circuit to tame that top end harshness. From what you've described, it sounds like the typical effects of a fullrange driver.

Hi chops, my take is that he's describing something that sounds like clipping, because it appears when he turns up the volume.

(Box dims and schematic would tell us if there was any attempted BSC in there.)

That's what I was thinking at first as well, until he said "the sound getting harsh when it goes to treble sound or if I increase the volume".

To me, that would mean that the treble is harsh even within the clean operating range of the amp/driver.
