New Markaudio Drivers

[Jason Shep]

Don't forget to chamfer the insides of the driver mounting holes.

Dang, I knew one of you guys would pull me up on that
I didn’t make the cutouts until after I’d assembled the cabinets so I’ll have to source some kind of “reverse” chamfer cutter.

I did do it on my front A11MS cabinets but do you think it makes a noticeable difference ?

It is pretty important afaik, I wouldn’t skip out on it. It is not too much work by hand using a rasp either.

Cheers guys, I’m on it

Interesting, never seen that bit profile before - certainly a problem solver in this case.

...so I’ll have to source some kind of “reverse” chamfer cutter.

A big a$$ rasp (with a round side) is the easiest way to do this. It doesn’t have to be pretty.

Thanks Dave,
Googling “rasp” turned up this drum rasp which would also be handy for easing out, when you don’t have exactly the perfect size hole saw.

This is the one i have and have found works well: 4-in-1 Bastard Half Round Flat Rasp, Carbon Steel Hand File for Wood - Needle Files, 4 Kinds of Grit Surfaces: Amazon.ca: Tools & Home Improvement

Cheers Dave, the only problem with that is, I can’t see the “on” switch or where the battery/power cable plugs in, surely your not suggesting I remove the material manually are you?

The rasp is a lot less expensive than the bit you pictured and with many more uses. It takes about 10 min to do a pair of driver holes… more if you sand it after to make it prettier (but no more effective — there is an argument for an advatage to leave it rough,

True Dave, I’ve just ordered the rasp you linked from Amazon uk
Many thanks

 

[chrisb]

Yeah, but a guy can never have too many router bits, or clamps

 

[Jason Shep]

Gone with a white finish as they’ll be hung on a white wall.

 

[chrisb]

Nicely done

 

[orangeart]

Turned out nice those

Re: rotary rasp...very effective but can be hard to control. You need to leave material for the fasteners. With the manual rasp pulling rather than pushing might be a little easier if working baltic birch.

I had a strange day yesterday, I sold the very last Alpair 7.3 I had in stock almost at the same time I took delivery of the new stock of Pluvia 7.2 HD, their 'spiritual successor'. Kind of a circular feel to it

Anyway I spent yesterday and today getting the new products up on the website, here are the links.

Pluvia 7.2 HD
Pluvia 7.2 PHD
Alpair 5.3
CHN-50

 

[TimbreAudio]

Boom!

 

[chrisb]

I’m probably not the only one that’ll be very interested in your impression of the CHN50 once you get a chance to give them a listen.

Stefan,

Possible typo on your website - it says "CHN-50 Paper" - aren't these metal cone drivers?

 

[orangeart]

Thanks, they are, where is the typo? I can't see it.

*UPDATE*

Found it, doh!
