FANE Crescendo 15MB

[Project16]

Hi everyone!

I like the project at this time performing a set for bass guitar and I have a speaker "Fane Crescendo 15MB".
I appeal to you for your opinion on the cabinet work and I hesitate between three posibilities (attachments).

Thank you!

Do you have your main speakers or/and is this project just for a sub or main?!
For a sub, if that's what your thread is for (Forums > Loudspeakers > Subwoofers) might not have all the frequencies for that instrument that you need, in this case a fullrange type speaker. Just asking...

depending of type bassplayer,you wil need a br cab.
the w-bin doesnt do much above 200 hz and the scoop wil have a big dip round 100 hz.
most bass players need extension sometimes to 5 khz.

Project16,
Are you there?
As epa and I told you () most of your examples don't work, what do you plan in relation to the new BR enclosure. Is that the answer what you're expecting?! How you came up with that idea in the first place, nice SPL designs that don't apply for this case.

 

[Project16]

I have no knowledge about the speaker, but the realization plan are recommended by FANE and can apparently be suitable for bass guitar.

Regards!

I think a simple reflex cabinet would be best this would allow the speaker to reproduce the bass harmonics properly.
The cabinet would be easy to design in Hornresp from scratch.
The fly in the ointment is the low Xmax of the 15MB. This speaker would not be able to take a lot of power. Have you a bass amp that you want to use with the speaker?
I would not push this speaker much over 100W in a reflex cab - even then I would be looking at a high pass filter, but that would really depend on the characteristics of your bass guitar amp

 

[Project16]

The choice of the amplifier is not yet decided but the 100W power was sought, I opened a thread about it.

From analyzing the picture you posted in #5 it shows ~90dB's with frequency from 60Hz to 4.5KHz, with a peak of 108dB at 150Hz. This for a Fane Colossus 15B, probably another driver. I'm not saying it doesn't work just mentioning it to clarify the fact.
Fane Project - Compact 125 Litre Cabinet for 1 x 15” Driver
In this other project they say ""Frequency Response: 35Hz – 1k5Hz"", why?!

Xoc1,
If I read your Hornresp BR well, you have a 120.6 L (Vrc) with a port 330.6cm2/area (Ap) and 30cm length (Lpt). Does it say tunning frequency?

 

[epa]

the w-bin doesnt do much above 200 hz

i stand corrected.
looking @ the freq plot,this w-bin might actualy work,.
i also like the fact its only 1 sheet of 4'x8'.
the efficiencie wil be great.
drawback its big compared to the br.

 

[epa]

fyi,i simulated the fane w-bin(top graph)
it is poorly designed.
i would change the inner layout a bit to get a better responce in the top end(middle graph)
or you could go for the bottom graph ,wich i designed for someone a while ago.

I don't play bass and I looked for some argumentation; the key ( not that one ) is to put it in real life ( or live !) .
Some information with armonics ( wave) analysis

So a BR box isn't necessarily the way to go, since in real life the bassist may only need to hear his touch -otherwise there would be a lost-in-the-mix effect... While on stage there are other bass units such as 4 X 10 or 1 X 18

Looks very nice from the troika.
