Dipole frame options?

deicide67 · 14th July 2010, 05:26 PM

Posted this in exotics also, but was suggested to put it here too.

These are the two configurations I have come up with so far to keep height down a bit. Of the two, is one much better than the other? I would assume the W shaped baffle will make a more even front and rear wave since the drivers are equal and opposite in direction. I do have some conserns using angles smaller than 45 degrees, but it is imperative to keep the height down a bit.

P.S. ignore the tweeters. I'm still playing with the top baffle configuration.

Ideas/thoughts?

Thanks,

Blair

I had been thinking of these but too lazy for constructing it:

Dipole bass array

Both design from Blair and gainphile looks doable. I also try to squeeze 4 12" dipole woofers into narrow foot print. Any idea how 4 woofers configured in AudioArtistry Beethoven speaker system? The woofer box is 29"H x 14.75"W x 21.5"D. I believe it is designed by Linkwitz.
