On-wall line array with half-space coverage

[FoLLgoTT]

Children are growing up and free time comes back again. So I finally build the speakers for my living room I already planned partially some years ago. The requirements are simple:

• Linear coverage of the whole room (complex, L-shaped, acoustically untreated)
• Stereo system with subwoofer support
• Good integration in the room (should not take much space), so it must be on-wall

A good localisation was not a requirement. For listening music I have my Quasikoax 1 and the HKL-01 for watching movies in my home theater. For this reason I went for a line array implemented as half-space radiator placed on the wall.

The documentation is full of simulations and research. I think there are some visualizations that have not been seen yet. Have fun while reading! 🙂

Looks great. How much did it cost?

Thank you!

Here are the costs for both speakers:

• Midranges (38 pieces): 570 €
• Tweeters (150 pieces): 600 €
• Wood (laser-cut): 550 €
• Miscellaneous: 120 €
• miniDSP FLEX HT: 700 €
• 2 x Behringer A800: 340 €

So roughly 1500 € per speaker. Plus the subwoofer(s) I already had.
