Midrange distortion on 15" PA driver

[LightBit]

I did read that thread, but I would prefer 8". 10" looks like waste of driver in my case.

B&C 8PE21 is a popular choice.

 

[LightBit]

Yes, it looks great (smooth, low distortion) and not expensive.
I hope I can get it (it is not in stock).

FaitalPro 8PR155 might be worth a look.

 

[KaffiMann]

Think I'd rather have the 6" Faitalpro 6PR150. Seems smoother.

 

[Charles Darwin]

You're probably right, I hadn't looked at 6" but a dedicated 6" midrange is probably the best option to marry to a TP150H.

Distortion peak around 100Hz - 200Hz was due to screws holding driver in box being too lose.

I have ordered B&C 8PE21 for midrange. I have read many good things about it.

BTW: Why was thread moved to "Live Sound > PA Systems"? This is HI-FI for a small room.

I thought this used to be in 'Multiway' and glad I'm not going mad!

No idea why it was moved, doesn't make sense to me.

 

[KaffiMann]

Perhaps it's someone that thinks using all pro drivers makes it a PA thread...?
Would be a first. Plenty of builds using pro drivers in the multiway section.

Could be an attempt to "strengthen" the PA section, as there's a lot of pre-built stuff being discussed here...

Total'y normal , thats why they sound so good LOUD

 

[LightBit]

I have finally finished them.

Distortion seems relatively low. I have more problems with furniture rattling in the room.

Crossed at ~400Hz to B&C 8PE21. Probably it would be even better to cross it lower, but I wanted passive crossover.

I have MTW configuration because otherwise tweeter is too high when I sit. Vertical dispersion is very limited.
