Anyone measure Supravox 135LB?

[Elias]

Hello!

Have anyone ever mesured this driver, if you can share your graphs that would be great!

I'm interested in partucular the dispersion characteristics.

There are graphs on the manufacturer pages but I prefer independent results, just for comparison.

Thanks!

 

[Elias]

Anyone?!

It's hard to believe nobody have used this driver?

Hi Elias!
I believe that it's the language barrier that rules here. If you post on some french or other european diy pages you will get answers for sure. I have searched some info about Supravox also but most hits have been with 215 models. Now I'm leaning towards these babies due to that Budapest is only 4 hours away with car.

Good luck/Peter

eltipo at audiodiskussion.de has measurement graphs. No narrow peaks and holes but drifting around over 10dB.

Peter: Yes, certain drivers are geopolitically more dominant than others. However, Supravox _should_ be quality manufacturer, so I'm assuming it is also quite wide spread. Anyway what is that link about, I didn't find any Supravox?

el'Ol: Thanks for the tip! I'll try fishing there if I have any luck.


BTW, can anyone recommend any french DIY-forum, with a lot of 135LB measurement data, of course 😀

6 years anniversary 😀

Believe or not, until today I haven't found any measurements of Supravox 135LB driver ! 😱 (other than available from Supravox homepage)

Please, share some plots if you have any. Thanks !

Looks like Supravox 135LB is not very popular driver since no one is using them ?

 

[murphythecat8]

no, supravox seems to be not really popular, not sure why.
I will however get a pair of 215 rtf soon. when I get some cash. so I will report one day.

Presumably because their distribution outside Europe is patchy, with the result that the larger markets (North America, Japan etc) aren't all that familiar with the brand (read 'haven't even heard of them').

 

[Elias]

Ha! Finally some progress for this thread lol 😀

Looks like in Norway someone made speakers using Supravox 135LB.

Here's the posted freq response in an enclosure:

Not that bad midrange response.

Hi all,
I'am french and and I know the Supravox brand.
I love these handmade driver 🙂
I use several time the 135LB in OB with U frame :

or on bipolar speakers :

The measurements ( TS and curve ) correspond to the Supravox values..
What is the proposed design for this driver ?
In Finland, you find it at Etusivu | Soundfactor.fi - - Kaiuttimet Hifi Kotiteatteri BluRay-soitin Vahvistin Putkivahvistin , right ?

You should listen to the 165GMF it is excellent on-line acoustic.(ligne acoustique)

Hi Nirvana,
I agree..
I used 165GMF Supravox in OB (with two Alpha 15A) and in an MLTL.
My best mid range 🙂

 

[Elias]

How about 285GMF ? I'm looking info on that too

Hi Elias,
I love your sign 🙂
I never used 285GMF, at listening yes (Jensen). Good driver, many dynamic with impact.
I visited the factory and can tell you the seriousness of the manufacturing. The TS and curve are very close to reality.
All drivers are paired (0,2/0,4 db).
Maybe in the future (if I have a biggest listening room)..

 

[Elias]

Hi there Philfr !

Are you aware of distortion plots of any Supravox drivers ?
I'm looking also at french forums but no luck so far..


- Elias

 

[Elias]

By the way, I find it strange neither of the german DIY magazines have not measured Supravox drivers 😕 Or does anyone know better ?


- Elias

 

[Ivo]

That's not strange. The German magazines focus on what is reliably available in Germany.
