Hi Gang: More questions from a high-efficiency newb here. I have used horn loaded stuff in PA applications (as an amateur) but never in a home environment. I have measurement equipment/skills. So: I do have horn loaded mids but they are monsterous and I am not sure the disperson is suitable for home use. I would need to check the low frequency cut off as well. I also have larger 15" folded horn bass bins (single 15", sealed enclosure, folded horn, not front loaded) for which I would also want to check the LF cutoff but going on thumbrules I think I could get 35 or 40Hz out of these things. The Electrovoice DL15X drivers do call for this smaller sealed box enclosure, but they have quite a high f3 in such a box and relative low xmax means lots of EQ to get them to reach down may or may not be an option. You fellas using folded horns... how big are your horns, what drivers are you using, are you EQing them and how much bass do you get? Are you using subs are well? Or are you using front loaded/scoop types? THanks for any pointers here. Cheers, Presto |
