Convert Your 2-way to a MONSTER 3-way With the New CSS Slim Line Bass Module
Просмотров 25 тыс.4 месяца назад
The original CSS Bass Module is great. It turns a 2-way speaker into a 3-way speaker, extends bass response down to 25Hz, reduces midrange distortion, yada, yada, yada - but is it too clunky? In this video we explore a new, smaller cabinet design that better complements the matching bookshelf speaker but retains almost all of the benefits.

    That passive woofer mass custom possibility is such a neat trick. I wonder what price you pay when for instance increasing the mass solves one perceived issue? No improving is "free". The whole improving of adding a third way to a 2 way speaker makes it more complex and with passive xovers the amp needs go up. Or you can look at it as a 3 way speaker with seperate internal chambers.

  • @xedasxedas

    The issue sometimes is the uneveness of bass across the room. Reducing the bass output just hids the issue. One can say hidding it is the same of fixing it. But...having a speaker port noise exciting the room response is just showing the room and/or the speaker/subwoofer needs improving. The aspect of measuring theses before/after changes it's a instrumentation challenge in it self. The mic it self can be in a "low spot" and your ears in a "high spot". Sweep the spectrum and the room....and the spl levels. Hey...and if you end up with a really flat response and you miss the "humpt"....just crank the bass up ;)

    I'm considering putting wave guided tweeters in my d'appolito / MTM speakers for better time alignment (currently flush mounted regular tweeters so the woofers are obviously more recessed). But I'm not really bothered by having too much high frequencies in the room atm. Off axis also seems pretty coherent as-is. Would I have to alter the crossover or add an L-pad when replacing the old ferrite tweeters with neodymium waveguided ones? (Waveguided is louder right? And neodymium also more effecient although the rated wattage is much lower so idk) I could just put them in and see if it works? 😅

    4:05 watching other people work on table saws always has some pucker factor, and I normally wouldn't call out how someone does a cut (was taught never to cut wide pieces with the fence as that's what the miter is for), but that hand placement going directly over the blade is killing me, but at least its a saw stop.

    I’m not a technical person but I’d like to know if we could use a wago style connector to connect them. If anyone has any information as to why it shouldn’t be done or if it takes away from sound quality or degrades the signal please do share. I’ve seen connectors rated at 32A which I feel is more than plenty for most builds

    I came across this video by pure coincidence and watched it all the way. Here's the thing, when you put that amount of effort, resources, materials and time into building a "high end" product, you don't do it with "that will do" or "i'll do it later" attitude. Interesting build, but too many hiccups and design decisions to call it a "high end".

    this might sounds weird but, because of your openness and passion, I will be looking into your products. I do not, as well as a vast majority of consumers, want to buy stuff form corporations hell bent on the bottom dollar. We want to buy stuff from People with a soul and a drive to do things the right way not the profitable way. Thank you for being real. beautiful work.

    Great looking speakers but I really dont know where the 30k dollar price comes from if they arent finished and you dont have the measurements to show their performance, but I get it, have to get people to click. Lots of questions arise like how flat is the response, what do they go down to etc.

    • @css_audio

      We've actually had a couple of customers do this exact thing and they've reported excellent results, which is not surprising based on the similar impedances and sensitivities of the two speakers.
