Identifying Isophone's and measuring tech...

[Arne]

I have recently acquired two sets of old Isophon drivers for a full range project. Now I am looking for the specs of these drivers as they didn't come with any.

I have also been told that it isn't too hard to determine the specs for yourself. However, I have got no experience in this field. Can anyone tell me how I can do this?

If you are feeling adventurous (and patient) and have a good soundcard you could try out speakerworkshop (do a search as there are some threads about it around).

For a clever and slightly more traditional approach check out what Circlotron posted here

hi

i guess you will have to take the task of measuring the parameters yourself , soundcards and add on unit from loudspeaker lab
or , the old fashioned way given in martin colloms book
or, (these drivers seem in excellent condition)

you can follow ure instincts these speakers perform great in matrix enclosures , tl s , wave loading , mini horns , corner horns etc a compact horn/tl design will work easilt - parameters or not !

Here is a link to some instructions on how to measure the T/S parameters.
