Is there a formula for positioning a tweeter in an MTM???

Hi,

Of course you can use more offset than theoretical.

Aesthetically, lining up the tweeter edge so its the
same distance from the baffle edge as the edges
of the two bassmids looks good and is common.

I downloaded it a week or so ago and have used it with no problems. It came as a zip with one Excel spreadsheet. The date of the spreadsheet I downloaded is 2/10/2003.

I didn't have any issues with the download from the Wayback Machine.

The download from the PC AV Consultants website had a virus though. Last time I checked the site, it appeared to have been ignored for a few years and it looked like someone took the site over and put malware on everything.

(this is why we can't have nice things)

The original site is gone now; it looks like someone new has re-hosted it:

FRD Consortium

Lots of good stuff here; I've never been able to find better tools for modeling arrays than what forum member John Kreskovsky wrote.

Hi,

Offset the tweeter to 0.6 of baffle width.
Move the bassmids a little closer together.

Huh?? Offset anything by .6, or even .5, of its width and you're off the baffle.

I'm not disagreeing. I do not understand, and I am very interested because I'm just beginning an MTM design.

If my baffle is 10" wide, what should be the amount of tweeter offset?

Peace,

E.g. center it on the golden ratio. 1.618:1 so to speak.
