Guest atilsley Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 So, a new projects starts....quite some fun with this one for sure. Starting off with a Volvotreter designed 77Hz bass horn, using Faital Pro 15 inch driver. The unit will be finished in a light colour Birch ply (24mm), nicely CNC'd from our audio friend, Muznuts (Designed Craft, Seven Hills). The attached pic shows a completed horn built by someone else...but the pic includes my built Yuichi 290Hz bi-radial horns. I particularly like what this guy did with the Walnut and white finishes for the bass horn. I'm currently working my way through the mid horn options...with choices around Azura 160 or 204...or an Autotech equivalent (via Henry, Redefy Audio). (BTW, Martin Sneddon, Azura principal) uses 160Hz horn and Vitavox compression driver...1 meter long, with his bass horn / 15 inch woofer...in a 'simple' two-way config. See pic attached...ignore Lowther driver in the bass horn.) The reason why the mid horn is large, is that driver selection will likely be something exotic like WE555 (or 666 from Horn Solutions, Europe), GOTO or the BMS 4592ND "mid" driver (200Hz to 9,000Hz). A GOTO tweeter is already in the mix. Sub section to be decided...but likely to be finalised later on....let's see what response we get from the 77Hz horn first. If sub, then it will be tapped horn(s). Goal is for quality passive using friend and all round good looking guy, Henry (Redefy Audio). Xover points target: 250hz / 5,000Hz. Andrew
