Peerless SLS 400

4real · 20th October 2005, 06:29 PM

Hi there?

Can anyone say something about the Peerless SLS 400 subwoofer? Distortion or frequency response measuremens?

I'm very interested in using them in a dipole setup (two per side)!

Are you referring to the PA 15 inch? The home series only goes out to 12 inches to the best of my knowlegde.

Nope, I'm referring to the home series. It looks like the SLS 400 is brand new. Price is unknow, and so is the delivery date

But still, looks like a very nice driver! So if anyone had a sneak peak on this one, let us know!

Here some info:

Dont use low qts woofers in dipole subs. Look for high qts.

The german magazine Hobby-Hifi showed that the Qts does not have that much influence in a dipole setup. So I'm not worried about that. I know of someone that has a 0.19 Qts dipole (test)setup (at the moment), and that seems works geat.

Besides, it can all be fixed with a series reistor or some DSP'ing (I intend to do that anyway).

On madisound, I saw that the SLS 400 wil ba available from Januari 2006. So I guess, I'll have to wait a bit.

Did they measure harmonic distortion near Fs for low Qts vs high qts in a dipole?

4real · 25th October 2005, 10:36 PM

Yes, I think they did... I'll check later!

The man him self, linkwitz, use the XLS 12" in the Orion and has an extremely low Qts.

Looks like it sound OK since many regard it as reference.

Not positive, but these could be exactly what you are looking to do, 2xSLS15's dipole.
Mainstream brand joins Dipole club..
Perhaps someone could shed some light as to whether this is so, or not. Sure looks like 'em.

Cheers,

AJ
