Enclosure for AERMD3B

[krishnafred]

Hi,

I have have a pair of these drivers and I`m looking for a diy enclosure that gets the best out of them. Anyone who uses them and maybe tested several enclosures or OB or heard them somewhere?

Thanks in advance.

Regards.

That is one very expensive set of drivers you have there.

I have used the MD2B on open baffle with helper woofers to good result, but I eventually gave them up as they were just too harsh-sounding. They had a Q of .75 so were unsuitable for horn or vented.

I think your MD3 are low Q and so would be suitable for horn or vented but some of us still use low Q drivers with high-Q woofers in OB, like me. But I'm biased. I'll never use an enclosure of any kind ever again, no watter what the Q. OB is just that good.

Heck, you could even use a sealed box. So much depends on your design goals and sonic preferences.

Hello,

my sat horn Schalmei
and the new double horns
Saxophon and RDH20
are a superb solution
for filip drivers

Hmm. Well, I've just waffled my way over the AER site, & Q isn't particularly low, so it's a good choice for back-horns as the mass corner is reasonable, although they'll have to be large if you want any LF gain out of it & don't particularly wish to add extra drive units. The specs. on the AER site, being averages, don't quite gel, but they're in the ballpark.

Hello,

because in my horns the driver didn`t
drive in their reso they are no basshorns.
the Qts isn´t so important,
look the B200 it works but the simu says no,
only by the 2 driver it makes bass, stroke
controlled by the driver of the bass horn.
