Monacor compression drivers. 160hz-7000hz!!!?

rvrazvan · 29th June 2011, 10:14 AM

No matter what, i'm going to buy this driver. It's very cheap and for this price there is nothing in this price range that can go that low.
Here is the user manual.

I'm planning to build the horns myself. But i need some opinions on this one.
Where to cross-over, what type of horn profile to use? I'm not to good with Hornresp

But maybe they would be nice drivers for a talk-box.

yeah i know. Not hi-fi-ish....but I don't worry to much about sound quality as i will have only a few watts to power them.

Figure out how big a horn mouth you can fit into your space and go from there. A 160HZ front loaded horn will be big!

Hi r,
You can forget about using it up to 7k, possibly up to 3-4kHz max. JMLC recommended it but only from 200Hz up 1,2k. So a 150Hz Tractrix might be a good choice as it only will be 65*65cm.
A 200Hz l´Cleach is close to 100cm dia.

hmmm. only 65*65 cm. that's nice for 150 hz. Where should i cross the compression driver?

revintage · 2nd July 2011, 11:32 AM

Up or down?

rvrazvan · 2nd July 2011, 01:49 PM

down. the other end is not that important for now...
how is this enclosure called(the LF enclosure). It looks like a good addition to the mid-horn. But i have no clue about the science behind it.

200Hz or just below will be OK.
Did you forget to add a picture?
