Best Midwoofer in Dipol-Configuration

Hi,

we have many some threads about the best selection of a dipol-tweeter with measurements of the polar pattern incl. backside. (for example in this thread: On the directivity of dipole tweeters)

But whats about the MF? The backside radiation pattern of the mids that i have seen do make some hickups and dont make a perfect dipol8 over the complete midrange.

So the goal of this thread is to make a list over some drivers for the midrange (200Hz-4khz). What is the usable frequency range for a good 8-dipol pattern for every driver (Backside and Frontside)?


Probably we can get some nice driver combinations....

Best regards, Tomas

I has no direct 15M/4624G00 polar plot measurements, but I has Akabak simulation on triangular MTM baffle at tweeter axis/level.

Is seemt, that we cam use the modst drivers till their cone breakup:

2" till 4khz
3" till 3khz
4" till 2khz

and so on...

But some of them have hickups in the LF. For example the frs5x at 1,5khz. Is it audible?

I took a look on some drivers till 3,5" and their distortion. The following drivers could ve very nice. Do somebody has the frontside or backside radiation pattern of them?

MCM 55-5650 !!!
Fr88EX
Faital Pro 3FE22/25
Dayton RS 75
