Quarter Wavelength Loudspeaker Design
if you don't have Mathcad ........ (buzz)
Hey! I feel like that was directed at me for some reason
Here is the software
A, B, C, Dipole
Very useful. it allows you to model the response and create active crossovers.
I went through the design process a while back. I developed the active crossover design and then modelled them and converted them to a passive crossover.
I was already to attack it but then I got heavily into riding motorbikes and went MIA.
Anyway the original plan has changed now. So I will need to start from the beginning again.
I know exactly what I want, and I think I will get it, I just hope this full range speaker is good.
I am starting to think I might put a 1st order High Pass filter on it. Although the manufacturer reckons it is OK for open baffle I don't like that Xmax is 1mm.
Anyway I don't really need it for bass duties anyway. I've got that covered.
Just hope it sounds great. If it has great midrange and treble then I will be happy.

They are absolutely bloody beautiful. Even if they sounded crap (and I know they don't) I would be happy to have them in my lounge room just to look at them.
Best looking DIY speakers I have ever seen. I reckon they might even look better than what I have been working on.

DIY in them was my part - choice of drivers , sim of TL cab , preliminary (seems it fill be final , too ) xover sch and general concept-in first place .
say , favor to fellow member of Baby DiyA
as I wrote , one local cab maker made boxes , for meuney , off course
I still prefer TL bass ; in any case , one of conditions was not-biamping ;
in any case - entire xover is one coil , one cap ; no stinkin' attenuating parts
I made some sims for Sonido 8" FR + 2x Eminence Alpha15 per side , and pair of them was made and everyone was happy

Papa, seems like we will have the new active audio device coming:
The return of the vacuum tube?
Gotta contact NASA to produce some samples for you (and the DIY crowd)

I remember seeing these and almost buying a pair because i liked the look so much. I also liked that they offered both a FR unit and woofer. I might buy either the LCao or SOnido after GB when i get some time. Specially now I got cheat sheet1
No, it is something that I invented. Apparently nobody else has thought of it.
back then when working with wakoo Astronaut , or later ?
in short - Sonido's aren't Lowther's
they are lacking that ultimate speed,which Lowther's certainly have , but they also don't have some of Lowther shortcomings - shout (well , I learned from friend how to tame that ) and some construction flaws
overall - your GrandMa's radio spk , on steroids
I developed two kinds of Cascode feedback. Both can be local or not.
One technique was several years ago, the second approach was a couple months ago.
Both remain trade secrets.
I couldn't rush into it if I had to. THanks for looking out, though. I agree with your fetish for laterals. I have never heard the SIC or SIT amps, but the laterals trump other fets I have heard. It seems we must wait once again for the puppeteer to show us the strings...."I got no strings on me"

ZM - back away from the ledge buddy - I'm here for you when you start feeling really cwrazy dumb trying to figure out Papa tricks.
Just give him a few years and he might loosen up and give you sum clues (but don't hold your breath)......
See trimpots (1 for the 2 PNP, 1 for NPN pair) at base of A1837/C4793 cascode devices for 3-pair parallel J109/K389 (emitter-drain handshake), biggy concept amps.
