One of my all time favorite systems IS one that utilized a Jensen full-range dynamic field coil driver in an open baffle cabinet (a box cabinet with an open back), but it had a dome tweeter crossed in at some quite high frequency so it was an ALMOST full range system. employed in enclosure designs, are not useful as parameters of design for.

It provides various arrangements of speakers such as Single 12 inch driver in a box, Twin 12 inch driver in tower box, Quad 12 inch drivers in a square arrangement, etc. PDF The Transmission Line loudspeaker is an audio loudspeaker enclosure. You can use its Min button to select a speaker with minimum dimensions. It finds out exact box dimensions to design speaker cabinets.

I have never heard a system using a full range dynamic driver in an open baffle array that I was completely satisfied with, but, I can see how such systems will appeal to someone else who puts very high priority on speed and clarity. Boxnotes is a free speaker enclosure design software for Windows. There are so many completely different approaches that can be utilized to get good sound, and multiply that by the many specific implementations of each type of speaker and you have a pretty large universe that will appeal to some person's taste and priorities. I am currently also considering purchase of a tw0-way system which utilizes a field coil full range driver as a midrange and tweeter (in a transmission line enclosure) and bass provided by a somewhat unique array of woofers that face each other and with a baffle to fire one set of such drivers forward and another set in opposite phase backwards (i.e., dipole bass) this system is made by Surreal Sound. I currently own a system that uses an Onken bass reflex cabinet for bass, horn comression midrange driver and bullet tweeter (a form of horn/compression driver). I have owned practically every type, except dynamic open baffle and bending mode driver (e.g., Mangar or MBL or Ohm) and I cannot say that any particular approach is THE way to build an ideal speaker. For a straight line, it is simply a quarter wave of the frequency. Or, should we toss out the speakers and use headphones, (NOT my first choice).ĪLL speakers, and speaker types have their strengths and limitations. The most important of the design parameters is the design of the cabinet: Length and geometry to set the tuning frequency - Tuning frequency is set by the length of the line and the geometry. Knowing no speaker type is perfect, perhaps as earlier asked is it a preference for types of music, and the rest of the system's components? Or is it a hard and fast decision for you? I don't need subterranean bass, just enough for an electric bass or upright to be reproduced properly. They can sound a bit "thick" or "slow" IMO, but without a sub they still reach reasonably deep. They seem to sound more even on the lower end, and go deeper. But lately I've been really digging some of my older sealed/suspension ones. Growing up I was exposed to mostly sealed, some open baffle, a few horn loaded, even a couple of passive radiator types(EV comes to mind).Īs time went on I ended up with several ported systems, still own a few. Sealed, ported, horn loaded, infinite baffle, open baffle, passive radiator, band pass, Aperiodic enclosure, Dipole enclosure, Transmission line.and so on. Is it different for different music types? different system components? I should probably restrict this to stereo for simplicity of discussion. we listen to a lot of movies and a center channel is very important in a home theatre.So, what do you like/prefer. If you say that even a subwoofer would be much better in a tl design i might do that too. i find that very expensive, but i dont have the knowledge to do that myself so maybe ill just pay him and i will be sure that the specs are good. He said wlhe would model a tl subwoofer box for 80$ (u.s). some young guy builds all sorts of boxes and explains very well how they work, advantages/disavantages of everything. i heard about those on caraudiofabrication on youtube. Only members can see who's in the group and what they post. for the rears i will use my infinity il10 and il30's.įunny that someone posted the same question as me. This group is for the technical presentation and discussion of transmission line loudspeaker systems (TL, ML TL, and BLH). I was just planning the rest of the system. but we are buying our first house this month so not much spare money for now. so they are nowhere near their full potential. for now they are bi-amped on my denon home theatre amp (105wrms x 2 to each tower). im almost done building the front tower that you modeled for me, they sound very nice ! just need to sand everything and veneer them and then i will post pictures of the build. S you will also see from this thread, I'm going to be very busy and preoccupied this next year or so, and certainly will not be able to help you with a major TL speaker design, much as I would like to./QUOTE]
