| Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY I have EQ'd a few places in a professional environment and have experimented with eq's in audiophile systems. There is no doubt that if you have a spectrum analyzer and a mic that you can eq a room to be perfectly flat. It is a must in a church or... | |
| Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY Kal, I've never read a thing on the subject. My Experience is just doing, doing, doing. Trial and error and being around alot of people who tried and failed many times before me. Everything that I've mentioned is proven only by me to me, But all u... | |
| Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY Hi Kijanki, I asked about hearing from you vault from dealing with pro sound equiptment. Back in the old days, I actually built several systems for night clubs and church's. Inevitably, I had to deal with sound reflection and absortion from high c... | |
| Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY The golden triangle and the Sumiko/Iron chef methods are both posted here. http://www.thecarversite.com/yetanotherforum/default.aspx?g=posts&t=189 | |
| Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY Yes, these would be for corner traps, in an earlier post, you commented, "but I still need to take care of the corners" and yes, thin materials are useless. Are you hearing reflections from your vaulted area? Years ago, I ran Marcof Electronics/Sp... | |
| Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY Well you make me chuckle, I hate sleeping on the porch. Get the most massive soft object that you can. Find the song that is most objectionable. Put this soft item (a wild bear would work) behind one speaker....Didn't work? move it behind the othe... | |
| Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY Kijanki, are you willing to build your own traps? Go to hardware store, buy 8 inch sewer pvc pipe, wrap that in unfaced fiberglass, cover it in cloth, attractive top and bottom cap (maybe a 2x12 cut and routed, painted or stained, it works great. ... | |
| Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY By the way, I cannot imagine your chair being hard enough to reflect bass wave, but for now, just put a blanket over it and see what happens. Tim | |
| Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY Kijanki, in wave length yes, but the corners are acting like a horn load and things around the corner can change or break the wavelength. We need to kill the frequencies from being radiated from the horn. Tim | |
| Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY Hello Golden Ear, I would try a couple of things, I still believe that it is most likely the room. 1st, take Tish's advice and check to see if you have your positive and negatives reversed. I'm sure that you don't have 1 reversed because you are p... | |
| Changed Speaker Placement NOW BOOMY Make two panels of thin plywood or other thin material large enough to dampen behind your speakers, cut out and staple egg crate mattress pad to the plywood, have your wife pick out fabric (softer the better) and cover your panels. Put them on the... | |
| The best tweeter design As far as ribbons being beamy. In my experience, not all ribbons are beamy. It does have more to do with ribbon design (dispersion pattern) but not all ribbons are beamy. Also, some of this can be overcome, by crossover frequency & slopes. I'v... | |
| The best tweeter design I've been speaker building for 32 years. The best tweeter that I've ever heard is the old Hill Plasmatronics. I've had great success with ribbons, but they can be beamy and one that can cross low is expensive.Horn loads: (you can hear the horn)Dia... | |
| Spica TC-50 crossover repair I just went to spicaspeaker.com and found the crossover. This one of the most simple circuits as far as building, but extremely difficult to match. Some real genius for its time when we couldn't model with computers like we do today. John used a q... | |
| Spica TC-50 crossover repair The time alignment is mostly due to the reactive impedance of the inductor. It is possible that in impedance compensation circuits that it could make a difference but only if the coil resistance is needed. Coil resistance can easily be changed wit... |
