Your dictionary is correct...😀

It is a Shell(fish)..the shell is made into pieces and glued into a pattern e.g. used on guitars...

These days they use plastic but the real thing is very colourful !!!!!

Just a word of warning if you plan to use real Abalone schell for decoration. Sanding dust from the Abalone shell is EXTREAMLY TOXIC and can result in severe damage to your health. In the Pacific Northwest many of the woodcarvers like to do Northwest Coastal Indian art which traditionally uses Abalone shell for eyes, teeth, etc. This is common knowledge and nearly all the carvers use synthetic Abalone to avoid the risk.

Just to underline the danger, we're not talking about cumulative effects from years of working with Abalone, it only takes one time.

From a TASTE point of view...I can hardly react....😉

From a TECHNICAL point of view you are not correct.

The baffle is first of all NOT made out of 4 pieces of MDF the reason is that this will present a dominant resonance namely the MDF.
Therefore the baffle is made out of different type of woods
(MDF-Birch-Merantie-Chipwood) also leadplates in between....
with this structure you have created a chaotic resonance so defeated the all too present resonance of MDF and at
the same time a "perfect" platform to launch your drivers.

The "boxed-up" mountingholes can definately create a muffled sound if you work with such an extreme thickness, therefore
I have made all the mountingholes CONICAL...so pretty widened at the back...this has an other advantage namely the energy coming back has an extra deflection.

Hope that it is informative...

PS
On my site are close-ups of the mountingholes...I think my chinese friend has also published one of these...

Regards

Erik
