TAD 2-way in “slim” enclosure

[andersen09]

Hi there,

I am looking to build a 2-way system with TL-1601a and TD-2001.
My problem is that I do not have room for a wide baffle (like TAD 2402 for example) and would like to build a slimmer and taller enclosure.

What is your experience with this assuming crossover with 12dB at around 800 Hz? Will I get problems without baffle step correction?

I am looking at 140 liter internal volume with bass reflex using a Klangfilm Eurodyn horn for the TD-2001.

Inputs or images of similar projects would be very helpful.

Thanks 🙂

Greets!

Yes, you'll probably need some baffle step correction [BSC] if not hard in a corner. Also, if baffle i.d. is < 1.5x driver width, then a good plan to heavily damp these gaps.

Not aware of any images other than what pops up on a Google search: Klangfilm Eurodyn horn - Google Search

Thank you very much.

Planning to make them 50 cm wide so just below the 1.5 ratio you mention. They will be fairly close to corners so maybe this is ok then?

Thanks.

Might not need it if the cab is tuned to help out; just depends on the room's acoustics.
