Tannoy 2528 in MJK TL ? help please ;)

Zen Mod · 10:08 PM

OK

I bought (during last campaign) MJK's software for usual insane small amount of greenies ; because I'm spending my time mostly on other things , not speakers - I'm sort of familiar only with Ported TL sheets but certainly greenhorn for messing with any other ;

I'm (hopefully) getting tomorrow pair of Tannoy Dorsets , which is basically 2528 (10" coax ) driver with passive 'fragm .

I don't care for these boxes , so I played a little with sim - see enclosed pics.

feel free to comment .......... and feel free to recommend any horn or even to simulate it in MJK sheets

- you'll not hear me complain

thank you verry much for your efforts

it seems you are pretty deeper in MJK sheets than me , there are even some parts totally unknown to me

anyway - my intention is to try to squeeze some deeper bass than original Dorset cabs have ( by factory spec. somewhere at 45Hz , but I'm not buying that , even without measurement)

I don't have problems with pretty tall , but narrow and not too deep box , regarding space

Hi,

You might be able to use the PR at the terminus, complicated ......

rgds, sreten.

did I say that I have that intention ?

and - what's wrong with being spoon-fed , from time to time ?

you know it makes sense

All I can say is that since I added woofers to my 12" Tannoys they sound a whole lot better.
I'm now using the Tannoys in a sealed cab crossed in at 175Hz and can't see myself going back to using them full range.

Hi Charles,

Thats what I too had in mind: Add an overlapping sub(s) at ~50 60 Hz to the proposed mains in order (IMO) to maximize the heard system performance.

,My Tannoys came out of Little Red Monitors so they only reached 55Hz @-3dB but they can reach 29Hz in a suitable 200L cab.
Turns out I could instead of building such a large cab for them, keep them in 46L cabs and add a couple of 12" Volts in roughly 140L cabs using the same space.

Either way to my ears removing low bass from the Tannoys duties cleaned up the midrange a whole lot whilst retaining the point-source (the drivers are probably 18-20" apart c-c). I might go up to 250Hz but at the moment I'm happy enough not to bother to solder up a couple of frequency cards for my crossovers.
