Davy do you think the lab15 is good for folded horn something like the BT7

I'll admit that I've found this driver a little confusing. It has a higher fs than the original lab 12, but a similar sensitivity, and it's a bigger driver.

This is just a first go with it... lots of sim fun ahead.

In all honesty, I wish the resonance was higher.

Or - you could just tune the horn lower, like down near 15 Hz.....

This is an interesting driver - someone must have a proper home planned for it.

Different drivers altogether.

Believe me, we have been playing with this driver in Hornresp since we found it.

davy is the lab15 good for outdoor use at 35hz for tapped horn or folded horn

Littlemike you think the lab15 will be as good as the lab12 in horn loaded

soundhead · 30th January 2010, 04:43 PM

for outdoor use
