Spawn of Frugel-Horn

[planet10]

Re: a name for Spawn...

er how 'bout

the DlugalHorn? '🙂'

That doesn't work. It should have the word Frugel in it and it is Scott's design... i'm just the drawer guy...

Looks like a "Chief" to me, and the next might be a "Big Chief"😉

It's mainly because the system operates in a similar way to a reflex enclosure in that below 100Hz, the horn dominates the response, so within reason (i.e. so long as the driver's Vas doesn't swamp the chamber etc's volume, and it's motor is strong enough to drive said horn), it's pretty tollerant: it doesn't affect the driver's own SPL curve over 100Hz much either, so it's very well behaved.
Scott

It's the acoustically fairly large filter chamber (aka the misnomer 'CC'). It's a matter of impedance matching with the horn being overdamped and the CC underdamped, so when you get a 'close enough' balance, a ~flat response over whatever gain BW the horn vent defines is achieved.

Thanks for the explanations guys.

It is a dual version of the frugel horn so why not simply call it the Dugel Horn?

If you don't like that then maybe Gregoose Frugelugos Horn floats your boat.

Ya gotta keep my name out of this one (or anyone please). This is a Scott Lindgren design....

When I said Dugel Horn I meant it to be a combination of the word "Dual" and "Frugel".

C'mon Dave, you're the PR person at the very least! Give yourself a little credit 🙂

Frugel-DuoHorn? or Duo-Frugel Horn

Frugel-BiHorn? or Bi-Frugel Horn

I would be willing to bet ,hard money, that i can get the H108 down lower and better sounding.

Hey Ron, the more the merrier 🙂

More choice = more people building horns

[Andrewbee]

Frugel Horn squared?

 

[Jaime]

Twin Drugal?

 

[metalman]

FrugalDuo?
Frugal Squorn? (Horn Squared)
Frugal DosHorn? (nice spanish flair)
Frugal Woo-Woo Horn?
Frugal Bass2? (Nice Take-off on binary!)

Let me sleep on it, more will come to me.

 

[RKH]

DoppelFrugal?

 

[planet10]

Frugel is a cross between Frugal (wise with money) & Flugel Horn (a tool for making music)

spelling = Frugel

Where did those two pages come from when I wasn't looking? 😀

Like the names guys. Keep them coming, and I'm sure we'll decide over the next day or so.

Ron -not that you need any encouragement from the likes of me, go for it! As Dave said, the more the merrier, and the more options we can give people, so they can pick and choose which one best suits their individual requirements, the more will be built. I'm sure yours will go lower -I was only aiming for a solid response to 60Hz with this one as I try not to go too far below Fs. 10-15% below is my personal limit.

Best Regards
Scott

How about naming it the Fruble, combining frugal and double. It`s kinda got a nice flow to the sound. Don`t hesitate to bash be me if you think it sounds stupid, I can take the punishment. NOXO.

Personally my favorite so far

Has a soft & cuddly feel too it... has a ring & you can dance to it... Fruble-Horn.

And i was thinking the name of the thread might end up sticking...

That is a good one no xo.

You could also change the spelling to Frubel if you want to keep that little touch of personality from the original spelling.

Good suggestion

Frubel-Horn

Thanks for the positive feedback,(pun intended). I was not sure if it was brilliant or absurd. If you make the name official I will have to build a pair, and right now, the last thing I need are more speakers. Thanks NOXO, and Dave keep me posted on the phase plugs for the Fostex FE206ESR, something else on my wish list.

Dave keep me posted on the phase plugs for the Fostex FE206ESR, something else on my wish list.

One of my customers moved his FE206e plugs to his FE206seR. the regular plugs aren't long enuff so a custom size is being made for the 206seR. Those should be off to him next week.

With the regular plugs he said there was an improvement but not of the magnitude of the change in the 206e (wrong plug or just not as much needs fixing?)
