3 way project - Morel 110 - PHL 1120 - Eminence Kappa Pro 15LF-2

Branwell · 11th August 2004, 03:18 PM

Hello,

For those interested, here is a photo of my latest three way….

They uses the Morel Supreme 110 tweeters, the PHL 1120 6” midrange drivers and the Eminence Kappa Pro 15LF-2 bass drivers.

The tweeter / mid cabinet is an off the shelf Parts Express unit. The bass box is a 110L ported box...needs some finish :-)

These speakers sound wise are the best I have come up with so far.

All active crossovers?

Branwell · 11th August 2004, 05:02 PM

Hi,

Yes, the crossover is a Behringer DCX2496 Digital unit with an ATI 1806 6 channel amp and a custom built 6 channel volume control that goes between the Behringer and the amp.

What a nice top cabinet, what is the sensitivty of the system?

Branwell · 11th August 2004, 07:43 PM

Hello Taco,

The tweeter is rated at 91.5db per watt. If we accept that as a reference then……

The mid range needed a full 6 db of baffle step correction. No surprise given the location in the room and the size of the cabinet. With the baffle step correction, the midrange matches the tweeter exactly needing no boost or reduction.

The bass needed 3db of baffle step and with that, needed 1 db of overall boost to match the mid and tweeter.

Given this, if you did a passive setup with these drivers in the same basic cabinet layout, you would be looking at at around a 91db per watt system.

Jep, look's good. If I had one

Btw.Branwell, the bass box is real nice. I planned to make something like that but the current financial conditions ain't good, so I have to wait a bit.
