Lavoce 12" Fullrange

[Joines]

Hello,

most of the joints fit really well, but on one speaker i had real trouble with the miter biscuit joints, so i took much longer as i wanted until i managed to pressed it all in place,.... there is no gab visible , but it didn't press the glue out of the gap as it should ... i put acrylic sealant from inside to all the joints just for air tightness safety.

looks almost like a speaker

The glue is hard and i sanded the cabinets with P150 by hand. I removed most glue wile it was still fresh, on some places glue stayed and soaket into the wood , this looks not nice now, i hope after the finishing paint layers it will be invisible.

coloring is finished, now i will oil them with linseed oil

 

[Joines]

This is now with the second coat of linseed oil.
Its difficult to make photos from the color,
as it looks so different depending on the light.

what do you think ?
waiting for your comments

greetings Jonas

I think a clear coat on the non painted one would have been very nice...

you mean like this ? just plain birch, is nice too! i guess it would not stay clean looking for long, but for a hifi living room system i would like it.

To seal between the wood and the components I use a kind of black silicon / rubber what is sticky and i can remove it without trace. I am damping hte lower part of the cabinet.

I put damping wool in the lower part of the cabinet, i did not put acoustic wool in the upper parts as i do not want to see the white wool through the ports.

🤩
now the cables and we will start testing and programming the DSP.

 

[Joines]

Now the first soundcheck and DSP adjusting, any advise ?

 

[tmuikku]

have fun!

 

[Joines]

first session to program the DSP with the mic and laptop yesterday, but ..... ⛈️
before we could make any sens of our measurements, its started raining, so we needed to stop

is there a guideline how to do this? I have someone here who did that before,
but to understand fully whats happening i would like to read a beginners guide about frequency. transition, phase, delay etc. i am quit new to this.
any suggestion where to start ?

greetings Jonas
