I have a question about a pair of Alted drivers

cody6766 · 26th October 2005, 03:05 AM

They're acutally University Sounds drivers, but below it says they're a division of Altec. The drivers are 15", 3way drivers called 315-C's

anyone know anything about them? I'm building enclosures for them (mentioned in another thread) and I'd just like a bit of info or some opinions while I work.

Greets!

Ooh....... a 'blast from the past'!

These were basically C15W woofers with a mechanically XO'd Diffusicone mids ring and an electrically XO'd diffusion tweeter horn. Quite the performer in its day and not cheap, but needs some EQ when driven with a typical SS amp since it's voiced for high output impedance tube amps and the limited BW of typical vinyl recordings of the day.

Anyway, a typical cab would be 12-15 ft^3 tuned to 30-45 Hz depending on how much bass you wanted.
