Yet another mind-blowing build! I'm continually impressed by your ability to push the boundaries while also creating a speaker that anyone can build. The sound is incredibly dynamic, and the horn adds a whole new dimension of creativity to the building process.
@@SoundBlab On first sight the idea looks great, but a serious look at this 4'' midbass woofer shows it comes with only 82.7dB (4Ohm) and the cone weight (Sd/mms) is just to heavy to perform rich through the midrange. I assume the horn has a much higher sensitivity, so you have to dimm it down, which may sucks the dynamics out of it. I like the concept of putting the horn on top of the speaker, but the drivers below are just the wrong choice - in my opinion. Now that was my smart ass moment for today.
Imma be honest, i'm never much for sound demos through youtube, But this demo i could tell that there is controlled bass, clear mids, and i had no doubt about the highs considering the compression driver you used. This demo stood out as communicating more to me about the speakers than usual, enough that i definitely want to build them. I'm kinda picky about horned speakers though, but i think it would be worth the effort and cost on these.
It seems that if you had used a less expensive but decent performing dome tweeter with these two budget mid-woofers in a w-t-w format you could have arrived at a much less expensive but still a kick butt budget system. This is a very cool system though and the work is much appreciated.
I am by no means an expert on this, but in my experience horn loaded compression drivers typically have a higher sensitivity while also being able to play lower than a traditional soft dome tweeter. You could probably find a soft dome tweeter and mate it to a horn to get a similar result, but you'd then also be relying on your woofers playing higher to cover more of the midrange by themselves. If you ever notice professional sound reinforcement, this is exactly why nearly every PA speaker you see out there is a 2-way with a woofer + compression horn. It's not that you can't do it with a soft dome, but rather you'd have to make more compromises to get similar results, and you'd likely have a for more complicated crossover to make it work. That being said, if you are using small mid-woofers which are more capable of playing into the upper-midrange without getting harsh, woofer + dome tweeter works just fine....in a small space. When you want more SPL to fill a larger space, that horn-loaded compression driver is going to win every time.
@@dafretz - My main point was that the woofers are $14.49 each while the horn/driver combination is $140.78, both at PE. The B&C horn driver is very efficient at 108.5 db while the woofers are 86.8 db, so the author needed to add a resistor network to bring the tweeter output level down to match that of the woofers. The high efficiency of the horn provides no advantage and is a non issue as the output must be attenuated to match that of the woofers. The TCP drivers are well known as big "bang for the buck" mid-woofers and I am sure that the B&C tweeter is a fine, but expensive, performer. A lower priced but decent tweeter (Vifa?) could make a much less expensive system with very similar performance. Most commercial offerings using horn tweeters are matched with one or two large, high efficiency, woofers.
@@dafretz - The mid-woofers have an efficiency of 86.8 db at one watt, so the author needed to add an L-Pad to attenuate the horn driver down to that much lower output level. The mid-woofers are
I used the tcp 115 on my first speaker build. I took a hard maple antique record player stand apart and reclaimed the wood, sanded it into boards made a tmm with a 8" passive radiator. I used a combo of tung oil, spar polyurethane and mineral spirits and gave it idk how many coats. It came out really nice, especially for my first build. But I never thought of using a compression driver. Great job 👍.

Nice build again. Did you see Danny Richies upgrade of the Klipsch Forte? Where he talks about alignment of the voice coils and associated offset issues. I would line the cabinet with GR-Research No-Rez or similar. I got smthg similar from Vibraplast in Switzerland. The Boston Audiophile also showed the benefits of damping a moulded plastic horn with damping material around the outer surface
Interesting built, especially with the affordable compression driver, sounds very clear to me. Although it looks industrial my wife certainly would not like it. Awaiting your update with a bigger woofer, perhaps TL construction? Still enjoying the 3 way full range speakers very much, looks nice , sounds good with impressive bass geven the size.
Mini PA Speaker this is awesome 🔥. Turn the horns the other way so we can have wide range. This might not handle a lot of power like a real PA speaker but this can go very loud for its size. This handle 160-200w maybe more if you use it as a satellite tuned dsp crossover and have a big subs go along with it then it would be fine. Compact Mini PA Speakers.
Im kinda curious about how much air flow is coming from the port. Im confused why you add the poly fill with an air port..i always thought that was better for sealed enclosures...and ports you want as much air as possible going threw? Im kinda speaking from a sub woofer/car audio POV. They sound and look amazing.
even if they are not very beautiful to look at, you could add some piezo super tweeters motorola to refine the very high frequency , which is an area too important for hi fi monitor use , you can also take advantage of the addition of the super tweeter to linearize the medium-high frequency of the horn by a couple of decibels with a resonant cell
Wow great! These bring to mind the Devon Turnbull designs that are quite cool, but made out of unobtanium. Shinjitsu Has been coming up with some great designs as well but twelve humdred dollar tweeters ain't happeneing. I've been hoping someone would do something like you have done here. So great. Thanks. I will make a little donation in hope of seeing a larger version!
Great! Next time tries bigger-size paper cone woofer ,amazing , klipch are doing something like that last year , that was some very old Altec and JBL speaker design concept , u might love it..
It’s nice to see quality cross over parts. They are larger and seem to be around 20% volume of the cabinet. Was this taken into account when calculating the speaker cabinet volume? The midbass seems to be affected by the reduced volume and sounded boomy through my headphones.
Yes, I always account for extra volume. However, we also have to take into consideration the damping added to the enclosure that will again add some volume depending on how much stuffing is added. Keep in mind this is a sound demo to show that the speakers play, not intended as a means to judge what they sound like. You are only going to hear an interpretation of them as presented by what you are listening through.
The horn is mounted in the unintended orientation. Your getting 90° vertical dispersion and 40° horizontal dispersion. This horn has a slight smoother vertical response outside of the sweetspot, but you probably want this response to actually be vertical since your less likely to have treatment on the ceiling. You'd also get a wider sweetspot if the horn is mounted the intentened direction. Also if you're mounting the horn outside the enclosure, theres no reason to mount it flat with the baffel. An advantage of outside mounting is that you can offset the horn so that it is time aligned with the other drivers.
Yep, came here to say this. Apertures create more coherence along the longer axis at a perpendicular angle. This is especially important to note as your two LF drivers are creating a wide horizontal dispersion with cancellation above/below. You'll get much better coherence at the crossover point as well by rotating the HF horn so it matches the LF dispersion. All in all this is an amazing build! Very high quality finish. Great concept and execution! TY for sharing!
Yes, the horizontal dispersion is only around 40 degrees. The reason for mounting it as is, is practical. The mounting holes on the horn would otherwise be vertical, making for a potentially very complicated mounting solution. Speaker design is always about compromises. If the horn was mounted in an enclosure, then sure we would not have a problem, but I wanted the 'exposed industrial look', and the result is still more than acceptable in terms of performance.
@@SoundBlab TY for the explination m8. However, it'd be real easy to drill two new holes on the horn mount baffle for the correct orientation. "More than acceptable" is a good mindset for getting a project finished. Which you did, and well. But don't hide from "diminishing returns." It's the summit of speaker design. Always pay attention to the little things and improve your awareness and knowhow in time. These differences will become quite apparent as you practice and study more.
I'd like to see the actual speaker freq response: how close do they perform to the crossover model. For those who say we should just use our ears, I'd say the example music played through youtube was not wonderful. The first segment was echo-y and the symphony sounded hollow. They may sound much better in person, but I would not build these based on what I heard.
Nice build, but why not just screw the horn on with two screws at the top of the baffle and maybe just add something to hold the weight of the driver? You might be getting some diffraction off of the top edge of the enclosure.
Has to be on the order of 22 to 24db based on how this is balanced. I have a build with the same CD using two 6" Faital Pro midbass with a 95 db/W sensitivity rating and it is padded down about 16db to match up.

A cheap alternative. Run an open 5" FR driver on top of the box with a woofer in the box. Just a large inductor (5.6 mh) on the woofer, and that's it! Just connect the open FR driver to the binding posts at the back of the speaker box. Slope the open FR driver like 20 degrees back for great sound (adjust to your liking). Use a heap of Blue Tack to quickly mount the FR driver on top of the box. Make sure both FR drivers are sloped exactly the same. It doesn't sound that much different in sound but way different in image with just one degree difference in slope! 😂 The whole sloping idea is for image. 🎉 Sounds come from nowhere! 😂 Spoiler alert, you may need a sensitive woofer to get the warmer sound and to HAVE ENOUGH BASS! 😂 Mine have 10" woofers and they kick. 😮
@StereodreieckRC he designed the crossover with a software. Either XSIM or VituixCAD2. If you are looking at a crossover builder, use VituixCAD as it can model off-axis and estimated in-room compared to XSim.
If you want to dig deeper into the horns there is a free program called ath for the design of the horns themselves. It produces a stl and a akabak simulation file
B&C de250 çok yüksek db olan bir sürücü 108.5db . Altında onu tamamlamak için çok güçlü yüksek seviyede hoparlör gerekiyor yada de250 yi sönümlendirmek yani düşük çalmasını sağlamak. Daha büyük hoparlör kullanılmak mantıklı.
This doesn't make much sense from a sensitivity stand point as the TCP115-4 has a very inefficient sensitivity of only about 82-83db. That means you have to dial down the compression driver so much. It would make more sense with a woofer that was around 88 to 95 dB to get the most out of the fact you're using a compression driver
I think that when music is projected from really good speakers brings out more filling from the person listening. Sounds fantastic!!!

This doesn't make much sense from a sensitivity stand point as the TCP115-4 has a very inefficient sensitivity of only about 82-83db. That means you have to dial down the compression driver so much.
