Especially considered its high build quality and that it is made in cast aluminium. In Sweden it only costs 24 euro a piece.

I just read this. Very good value indeed 😎
Do you think the mounting would take B&C DE250?
I will try it in this combination, activly crossed over at 300 and 1700 Hz, 4:th order:

- Yes I think so, the bolt holes seam to match perfect. At least the pair of holes that are on the bigger radious. They are on the same diameter, 76 mm.Do you think the mounting would take B&C DE250?
Kind regards

yesHave any one else tried the Faital Pro STH100, tractrix?
HF104 with STH100

Looks right to me, compression driver on a horn that doesn't narrow the dispersion much as the frequency increases. But I would have like to see the driver/horn make it down flat to below 2khz.

Faital STH100 with FE104:
Measured indoors in a relatively small room 2.4*4 m. Driver 1 m above floor. Mic 1 m in front of the horn.
I have used the microphone described at gainphiles blogg.
I think the response is very similar to yours jogi59 but with less amplitude. I am a very new at measuring stuff so I might have don all the errors there is but I have at least caught something with my DIY-microphone. Grate fun and thanks gainphile for the description on your blogg. 🙂
kind regards

to me, you are lifted a bit in upper mids (+5db 2-3.5khz).
That can sound harsh over time.
I'd want more high end boost.

Thanks for posting (again 🙂 )! Were the measurement conditions identical to your previous measurements?
BTW, I think the most useful way of doing these measurements is non-normalized and with some global EQ in place to make the response more or less flat. Now the on-axis response is a big factor in the representation of the combinations' performance.
Below you'll find my results. Yeah alright, I'll admit: it's a normalized plot. Anyway, it looks a lot better than yours. My measurements were taken outside, gated and at a distance of somewhere close to 2 meters. Smoothing is 1/12 oct. There's a small on-axis dip at 3.65 khz, hence the apparent widening.

Isn't that what normalized means?

Thanks!... It's great to see same devices being measured produced comparable graphs 😎
Mine were measured indoor, so yes, not as smooth as yours. I should've mentioned.

With ARTA normalized plots show off-axis amplitude normalized to the on-axis plot. On-axis is where you usually find the strongest diffraction effects, which messes op the directivity plot. In my opinion the most useful way of doing these plots is applying sensible EQ - make the response in the listening window more or less flat, but don't EQ diffraction effects.

I strongly agree with this. The directivity seen when the data is normalized is too distorted to be very useful.

Interesting point.
So I guess there's no way to fully isolate the directivity behavior isolated from the freq resp.

My sentiments also. I'd rather see what I'm getting.

See, Andi?! Mr Waveguide agrees with me. *pats self on the back*

I see them as one and the same thing, not seperate behaviors. In the physics the two things are very tightly coupled - inseperable in fact (except in a few cases, a flat piston being one of them!). That's why I think that it is a mistake to normalize polar data.
It is also interesting to think about how unique the axial point actually is - unique in that things happen right on axis that don't happen anywhere else. For example, the axial direction of a flat circular source is independent of any axi-symmetric cone break-ups - they do not appear on axis, only off axis. Then there is the fact that the axial point has the lowest weighting for the power response of any point.
The on-axis frequency response is simply not a very meaningful representation of the real perceived response of a loudspeaker. And we "normalize" to that 😱

I was thinking that the diffraction that causes the on-axis aberration was a 2nd-order side effect.
Hello Earl,
What do you think as few recommand, about the normalization of the power response?.

I think on a tracrtix, you have a decade, or about 3 octaves of bandwidth b4 getting narrow dispersion.
