Compression drivers primer on tnt-audio

ra7 · 17th January 2010, 04:05 AM

There is a nice primer on compression drivers up on tnt-audio this week.
B&C HF drivers DE400TN & DE35 - [English]

It is just the sort of thing I was looking for. There is a ton of information here, but it takes a lot of wading through to get what you want.

Any suggestion for more basic articles on compression drivers/horns/waveguides?

A well documented build would be great as well!

I haven't used domes since I built the Ariels in 2000 or so, and except for a bedroom speaker I'm doing later (using the drivers I already have), I can't see me ever going back.

My Unity's use a B&C DE25 and my sides/rears B&C DE250 and 18Sound ND1090. I own, have owned or have used quite a large number of CD's in the past on a variety of WG's and horns.

Anyway, these will give you something to chew on for a while. Listed solely in the order I found them in my memory.

Jack Bouska's design and build thread
Horn / Waveguide Contour Comparisons
Factors Affecting Sonic Quality of Mid & HF Horns & Waveguides
E-wave thread
Brandon's No Quarters - passive xovers to come
Brandon's Driver Measurements incl CD's and WG's.
Geddes on Waveguides
Paul's Octogon HT build
horn-vs-waveguide
Jean Michel on LeCleac'h horns

I've got heaps more too and I'll post them if I remember and can find them in my stored bookmarks.
