Hello,
For my horn rig I am looking for a low-mid driver (horn loaded).
The driver shall cover from app. 180-600 Hz (or maybe higher depending on the driver).
However, I have not decided whether to go for a compression driver or a cone driver.
If I go for a compression driver it will almost certainly be a pair of vintage JBL 2482 phenolics mounted on straight, circular 140 Hz tractrix horns (as far as I know no other compression driver - that I can afford - will go that low).
If I go for a cone driver it will either be a pair of Fane Studio 8M, Precision Devices PD.107 (both already available), or Electro Voice EVM10M or DL10X. I have not decided yet which horn to use for any of the cone drivers.
I will use digital (high order) active crossovers, so driver protection should not be an issue. The large, straight 29 Hz bass horns that I use beneath the sought for combo do work up to 350 Hz or so (they are loaded with high EBP drivers), but I would prefer a clearer and more “open” low-mid section:-)
What route should I take? I would especially appreciate to hear from those of you who might have actually compared the JBL 2482 as low mids to a hornloaded cone driver. Obviously, I would also like to hear from people having experiences with the cone drivers I mention.
Thanks a lot for your time and suggestions!
Kind regards
Peter
