RS180 mtm TL

[Ed LaFontaine]

I have used Martin King's "Sections" worksheets and Mathcad 8 to model a tapered TL using PE's RS180 in an mtm arrangement. Here is the frequency response. The blue line is a reference infinite baffle. The TL response is in red.

The TL sections are provided. Disregard sections of .001" length. They were part of the format I worked within and did not want to delete them.
Tweeter height will be between 34-35" above the floor. It is loacted 10.37" below the top of the TL, at the beginning of the "open end".
The 10.8" section is the half-turn at the bottom of the cabinet.
The 4.46" section is the quarter-turn out the back.

TL length is 84.31"

The electro-mechanical values are included.

As this is my first serious attempt using these worksheets, I welcome all suggestions for improving the frequency response. I have found slightly better bass available at the expense of increased ripple. I think these are good dimensions to go with a cabinet for actual testing.

I will post a cabinet lay-out when I make a suitable one.

And the baffle will be very similar to that of Jon Marsh's Modula MTM:

I'll try to adjust the attachment sizes WHEN I get my computer back. It crashed right after posting the above. I'm posting this from the computer shop.

This is the sections lay-out and stuffing schedule.

And here are the electro-mechanical attributes necessary to run a simulation. Remember, as an mtm both drivers are considered in the simulation. Look at the front baffle depiction. The virtual center used here is very close to the tweeter center.

Thanks for your patience. Would a moderator delete posts 2,3,4, 6 and this one?
