Soundbar Thought

[EddieT]

I wonder if it would be possible to couple a pair of small speakers in a soundbar configuration for bass enhancement using direct radiation for stereo separation?

Dear EddieT,

I built a soundbar with the SPK Audio F02A-4(2" full-range) and it has plenty of bass about 70Hz.

I stuck some babylab speakers together end to end into a bar. They sound great, live in the garage nowadays.

@nandappe Thank you very much, I like the design and I think the parallel ports would indeed enhance coupling bass to the room. I also enjoyed a visit to your website.

Just to add confirmation, it's certainly possible. The attached are some simple designs I did some months ago for a few of the MA units -they're on their site, but tend to get buried. I suppose I should do a few more when time permits.

 

[EddieT]

I didn't express it well but I was thinking of single or coupled chambers to enhance the bass. The adjacent parallel bass ports of nandappe's design come close.

@Scottmoose , would the CHN50 soundbar designs you have here and on the MarkAudio wesbite work with the CHN-50P too? or are they very different.

thanks

Anyone build a Mark Audio center channel / soundbar yet?
I've moved my Pluvia HD 7.2 microtowers to the televison room, and I'm looking for a sympathetic center channel to build. I could go with more of the same Pluvias, but I'm also curious about the Alpair 7MS, CHR 70, and Alpair 5.3 (since they're also in stock).

My inclination is a ported enclosure: short in height with room for width and depth . . . an onken center?

Thanks
