Yeah, maybe, although the square frame is a bit of a pain for those without a CNC machine or a good set of router guides. The frame is actually quite thin so C2C will be pretty reasonable. I've been meaning to build a line array for ages so will hopefully find the time this year.
:^)
You haven’t thot about it enuff Stefan.
A rectangular frame, not square. Take 2 spaced rails, ply would be easy, aluminum would mean tapping 200 holes. Taking care to use lots of closed cel gasket strip, just start screwing the drivers between the rails. Use thinner tape folded over the inside-horizontal baskets joins. Plug that into as elaborate a cabinet as you’d like.
In a line arrary centre-to-centre the smaller the better.

I might be mistaken, but I doubt that will happen. AFAIK this driver utilises an existing basket. I don't think they've got the money to create a brand new square basket specifically for this purpose; the tooling costs would likely wipe out what little profit would be made. I actually made the suggestion of arrays to them some months ago; they should be OK. Yes, square would allow slightly tighter spacing, but it's doable as-is.

Dave, they are 102mm.
As Scott said the basket is from another model that was only in Japan that sold thousands, hence being able to make them so cheap as the tooling is paid for already.
Not yet, I'll work it out over the next few weeks, no hurry, they will be a while on the slow boat from China

I found a dif. set of curves on the 7PHD on a Japanese site; I'll look again; I may have forgotten to book mark it. The HF started to roll-off at about 5 to 6 KHz as I remember which would better fit the intended market. I dig a little deeper later...
Ugh, that spelling mistake. Next you know audiophools will insist that "definitation" is the new frontier of audio.
That CHN-50 looks cool for a small computer speaker too!
