He's alive!!!!
@@HexiBase 😂
"What audio equipment you play these through": a small opening in my phone's bottom filled with dust...
Woop woop....he is alive indeed!!!
Me trying to buy components from parts-express after a Hexibase video: "Curse my metal body, I wasn't fast enough!"
@@HexiBase yeah, that driver has "expected stock 9/19" 😄
Fantastic video man, I just built the TB 3'' Sub enclosure you designed. I listen to your videos on a Scarlet 2i2 with a Mackie CR8S splitting to my Personus Eris 3.5 running balanced through a Mackie Big Knob to control my volume and run to my headphone on my LOXJIE P20 Full Balance Tube Amplifier when I want to hear it through the Sennheiser HD 280 PROs. Love your videos keep them coming.
@@HexiBase it sounds good there is some port noise when I turn it up but other than that it sounds great. I am building some satellite speakers now to go with it so soon I’ll have a 2.1 system 3D printed.
Listening on my Blessing 2 Dusks. Your stuff is wild, but the craziest speakers go in the ear now.
@@HexiBase The molds for the Blessing 2's are all 3D printed resin. You kinda could? Theoretically the same kinds of math that goes into horns and high order acoustic chambers works for the dynamic drivers used as subwoofers in IEMs. They even sell a variety of dynamic and balanced armature drivers on various DIY websites now. Alas, even being a DIY'er myself, I couldn't contemplate doing a project so small and complicated. Even with all your tools, it would be tough to get done.
Listening to your stuff on a pair of JBL LSR 305s, driven by a Motu M2 interface running at 48,000 kHz. Looking to acoustically treat my room with some actual, professionally made, bass traps, and I've got them spaced and dialed incredibly well for living in the average room with hard floors and 11x12 dimensions. Also, my trick for the day is that my bed serves as a bass trap along most of one of the walls, and hard floors and ceilings actually do a great job of making a small space sound even, if a bit live. All of the things I've got help break up any slapback, so all I really need is some traps to control bass, then to add small amounts of absorption to simply ensure the room isn't too live.
I currently live in a space that, for the money, has been the single best listening experience of any place I lived in.
Nice!!! Impressive as always. I bought your Earfun product bluetooth speaker, and man my wife was blown away and its impressive up against other speakers of its size!
listening through my 2500 watt custom built home theatre surround sound system! very nice job!
Thank you for the new video. You’ve been missed. You have an extraordinary amount of acoustical knowledge and Ive gained a lot of insight from you.
I really hope you are wearing laser safety glasses with that robotic retina fryer.
For a 2 inch driver that is impressive 😍
Currently, I'm running some 6" Yamaha full range drivers in an open baffle enclosure with a 1" Yamaha dome tweeter and a 2" vintage Technics tweeter. The crossover is made using film compositors from Germany. The amp is a Technics SU-Z960 that I just refurbished a few weeks ago. The entire system is made to run 120 watts rms. The frequency response is 5-30000 hrtz. Its nice to see the channel is alive!
This video is amazing. I've been dreaming about exactly this kind of build for at least 5 years now. So cool to see you bring one to life. I'd be very curious to see a slightly larger, full-range, single-driver purpose-built studio monitor with more low-end extension. I'd buy the plans for that. I don't care about sub bass or top end extension as long as the stuff in between is authentically represented.
Finally, someone doing speakers with some technical background. Very nice.
...7:47 - Is the only important qualifying statement encouraging anyone to buy a laser for cutting.. I whole heartedly agree =)
Wow that sounded amazing! Full- bodied warm and punchy like you stated.
I was thinking after watching the 3d printed bass tube and this video, that you may be the first person to understand and replicate the Bayz speaker layout. Love your thought process, explanation and determination here. Grateful that you share your experience here
Awesome unit. Also space balls is my favorite movie
This kind of stuff represents a paradigm shift in small space/desktop home audio. One of your ABS 3-d printed 5.25 enclosures for the sub with two of these and you have a very capable PC setup. Amazing work, man!
Because "F" Scissors ....... That need's to be your new Merch line. I would buy it.
I've read a few books on speaker design, thinking I have the bases of making something basic. But every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something new. Like controlling the X-Max in such a way to keep it bottoming out so you can push it farther.
Finally we get a hexibase video please keep them coming.
Super cool, thanks for sharing!
next time you can design some holes on the plates so you can add some wood rods or simple skewers as guides to glue them together. This will result on much better alignment to the pieces.
Great job BTW.
@@HexiBase just a little salt helps to avoid the shifts between wood plates when gluing them together. Some guitar building videos show that technic
Yet again, another creative and intelligent piece of content. Thank you for sharing and inspiring others 🙏
Pete has all the cool gadgets.
You asked what I play your episodes through. Currently a pair of JBL LSR308 monitors. I have a huge collection of other speakers, diy and commercially available, but right now these are my favorites for the office computer.
If ya put some of these DIY kits pre cut up for sale at a reasonable and affordable price I bet you would have people lining up to get em!
FYI, the pre-cut sheets at HD are more than twice the cost of a full 4x8 sheet. Last week i bought a full sheet of 1/2" MDF for $23 and they cut it into 2x4 pieces FOR FREE... the pre-cut 2x4 sheets were $12 each
listening through my DynAudio Audience 72s, running through Xone 96, and Crown XLS 2502 Amp.
Since you asked what audio equipment we are using. Onboard audio from my Asus x399, to a Denon 3803 (yeah, it's old... But still sounds great) driving DefTech BP7001SCs in the front, Deftech BP2000s in the rear (soon to be replaced with BP7000SCs), and a C/L/R 3000 center. All in a room that's about 14'x14'. It's a little overkill, but it's fun.
the sound on your vids is so good. Keep it up
Glad to see you're back!
Fun! Good to see you back.
About time. I don't usually get this excited about a youtube notification
@@HexiBase just the "like" button when I slapped it
Awesome awesome! I watch your videos on my living room on by big screen. Absolutely love your work. My family thinks I'm weird watching them because you're very technical and I can't follow but I love seeing your projects and listening to outcome.
Dude -- so glad you're back! And really good to see that theres finally precision tool I can afford. And a very interesting little speaker too. thank you!
oh, and I'm listening through these:
mac mini --> Cyrus Pre XPD --> single mosfet amps made myself --> ancient Stax Lambdas from the 70s
I've been looking to expand my knowledge on Lasers and I just visited Ortur's website. Thank you for the video.
Sounding great on my HD 650's! Good video quality mate.
You made your own Bose wave!
Listening on my ultimate ears boom 3 sounds great
Good to see your back
Listening wiht Neumann NDH 20's, through a SSL2 audio interface. Track 3 has a surprising amount of low-end.
That machine would be great for making templet's.
very cool build looks like a lot of fun to make these. Listening to these on some Energy Veritas Mini speakers being driven by an Cambridge sound works dtt3500 amp that i had for an very old computer speaker setup. sounds quite nice.
If you add air assist (compressor through a small nozzle - I use a 0.8mm 3D print nozzle) pointing at the cut you will get a much cleaner cut. Also, it is better to support the material off your baseboard. This will stop getting burn marks spreading from the cut on the back.
@@HexiBase I set the compressor to about 30PSI and have the nozzle about 15mm from the cut. It blows the burnt material out of the cut and you will find you also need fewer passes
Hifiman Sundara - Schiit Hel, sounds good! Excellent video. I'm a sucker for folded horns; and the like.
listening via Aiyima A07 with Dali Spektor 2’s alongside with hypex DS1.2 with a custom tline 70litres woofer enclosure tuned to 26Hz with 6.5” Logitech element. DAC is also Aliexpress special with LDAC bluetooth.
these small builds are what impress me the most. will you be doing a tower build with small full-range drivers that hit low, something similar to Cyburg Needles maybe?
Really enjoying your content, thank you for creating it. Your content sounds exceptional. My viewing equipment includes a Yamaha HTR-8063 receiver, a pair of Polk Audio RTI-8's for front left and right, 2 Polk RTI-8's as a center channel, and a pair of polk Bi/Di pole for surrounds. The centre channels are powered using a Yorkville power amp. I'm using a 12" B&W sub and have replaced the driver with a Rockford Fossgate P1. I'm using a Chromecast to stream content to the Yamaha receiver and an Acer projector as the display.
Amazing!!! Tks for the video. Greetings from Brazil.
i watched this on a work terminal with an onboard system speaker. everything sounded great from what i could tell
Damn....thats some sweet sound for a small form factor. Wish I could get this design ;)
Dude your setup inspires me....
"Try doing that with a router."
His drill : "am i joke to you"?
I think he meant the "plug" from the hole, not the hole itself. Can you think of ANY tool that can cut out a ~2mm diameter perfectly round dowel from 1/4" plywood? I think that's his point.
@@SuperDavidEF Thanks Dave, for a second there it seemed like people were simply enjoying the joke without a real understanding of the video. You're doing God's work, son.
@@Pigeoning Sorry. I'm one of the truly weird people in the world. Jokes aren't funny at all to me unless they make sense. Your joke makes no sense. Have a nice day.
@@SuperDavidEF You've spent too much time on the internet, Dave. Not only are you a sad little hall monitor policing RUclips comments you think you're funny.
This is a devastatingly bad combo for you.
A good long look in the mirror along with some earnest soul searching may do you some good. Or you can continue doing this, which is sad.
In any case me getting you to read all this as if I give a flying fuck is how it's done. There's nothing worse than a lame troll, Dave.
@@Pigeoning Heh. Glad I could help you feel better.
Welcome back! Great video again! Think I broke a finger stabbin the play button!
Listening on my Sennheiser HD1 earbuds.
love your videos....that is an impressive little driver...good work man :)
That's quite a decent cut for only 5.5W! Listening to this on a Tempotec Sonata HD USB-C DAC with KZ ZS10 Pro (+ SpinFit eartips to compensate for sharp highs).
I'm just listening trough my Vantage A-4.1's and SW-101
always worth the wait🔥
long awaited. great vid.
Your voice seems clearer and louder
Love the videos man, keep them up! I'm playing audio through some creative 7.1 p7800 PC speakers. Only ones I've ever known about anyone ever using.
Listening on Kali Audio LP-6 and voice over sounded spot on.
You might want to put a matt black finish on your laser bed instead of the reflective steel. Your laser will last longer. Alternately, you could buy a metal honeycomb that other laser cutters tend to use.
Since you asked, I am running a pair of Tritrix 36" TLs that I built the cabinets for back in high school out of home depot "birch" veneer plywood. in the past year I added a grill made out of a poplar 1x2 frame wrapped with what is basically coarse window screen. I wanted a grill that wouldn't give if you push on them since I have a dog and a clumsy wife, and I would rather prepare for the possibility than risk being mad over a damaged tweeter I could have prevented. powering the tritrix is a dayton DTA-100A. it has more power than I could possibly need, especially since i am listening at my desk with the speakers less than 4 feet from my head, but it is clean and runs cool, and most importantly for me I finally have all the sources of electrical noise in my setup quieted down, as previously I had issues with the noise floor. as long as I can't hear audible distortion and there is no audible hiss or hum, i am happy as far as amplification is concerned.
Thanks for such an informative channel.
I listen to your episodes using an Onkyo 8140 amp & custom speakers. Each speaker cabinet is 2 chamber, sealed and ported with dual 7" Dayton drivers & Morel 1 1/4" silk dome tweeters. A pair of 10" passive JBL subwoofers in custom sealed cabinets cover 100Hz -20Hz attached to B channel output.
I use this system for myown developments, critical listening and daily entertainment.
audio is excellent.!
Nice comeback! ;) (What do you use for those cool robotic camera movements? Edelkrone?) Thanks!
Never clicked on a video so fast in my life.
i have a set of b&w 601 s2 speakers, with a cheap home theater subwoofer all ran off a sony str k790. considering it's all goodwill finds, they sound amazing.
Listening through Cambridge audio amp & dac combo plus my trusty Kef ls50's paired with a svs 12" sub
Nice. Was worried you stopped doing videos. Oh yeah, the speakers. They sound really good even with just the bass knob cranked like that. It would be interesting to see what a DSP could do.
I am not a high end audio guy so I am just listening through either a pair of HD280 or MDR-7506 headphones.
I would really like to see what you could do when combining the laser with printing.
Listening on Genelec 8050 & 7040 - really impressive result considering that's on first try and before DSP
you need to upgrade the laser to the 40w NEJE. youll get 3x the speed. the 40w is really 15 watt but its 40watt consumption with dual lasers focused to 1 15 watt optical power beam. cuts walnut like butter same with cedar but its quite a bit more oily of a cut.
Nice! I have had ideas to use a CNC to utilize found lumber such as drift wood for similar projects, and while I have used laser cutters for metal before, there's certainly no reason they can't be used on wood as well! Glad to see another video, I was wondering what became of your posts, though I certainly understand how life can get busy.
As for listening gear, at the moment, nothing special. Just the internal speakers to a 2012 13" MacBook Pro, even some cheap in ear headphones would presumably be better than their speaker output.
Will you be releasing plans for these like you did with your 3d printed enclosures? I have a cnc and would love to build this little guy.
Would you make a video on horn enclosures, folded horns, and back-loaded horns? The Thiele-Small parameters video and the one on enclosure types was enlightening, to say the least. I would love to design a tower speaker like this at some point.
i was in awe trying to understand what he meant. scrolling tru comments, reading urs here, and i think i understand what he meant. the wave guide is tuned to the lows, so it couples with the driver, so where it woudl normally unload cause its not tuned/coupled well, here its coupled properly so it doesnt let the diaphragm max out.
only ting to worry about, is that the coil wouldnt move as much so it would have higher resistance in that range, so the heat will be more.
barevids did an explainer vid about his vehicle and his new dd9900, where he talked about port loading and how he can send gobs of power to a sub and not have it blow. ..... when the port is tuned well, the speaker doesnt have to move much to get the air to move in the port... and the measurement shows a rise in resistance at that tune.... the problem is heat at that point.
We would love to test a machine like this!
I would like to see a subwoofer made by you and your trickery play down to 12hz
Awesome 💯💯
What would help with stacking the layers more precisely, ist to cut two index holes in each piece and use a dowl to keep the layers in an exact order.
Sounds better far field for me. Its richer and fuller. Close up its more dense.
Awesome video 👌

Congratutations for best content, presentation and quality all arround !
(+ i might have some industry's wide concept for a project you might be interested in.)
Any channel that references Spaceballs gets my vote!
Aw man, I missed ya Pete. My life started to slowly lose meaning without regular uploads..
Your videos are awesome. See if you can make a cheap 3d printed speaker on par with a widely known expensive brand.
Thanks man, made me want to buy a laser cutter and then install my DAW
Welcome back
waitin for driver excursion explanation about impedance and fs, and breflex vs sealed.
thanks!!
Most of these diode lasers will cut thin ply, you just need to get the focus and settings right, but there are some quite powerful laser modules coming out now, biggest issue is you need good ventilation to use them :)
Good to see you back. I just designed my own DCAAV enclosure for a woofer and I have absolutely no clue how it's going to perform until I build it. Maybe you can shed some tips about those
How the simulation works would be cool to see for sure
Good to see you back, if you ever feel like bouncing ideas off someone feel free to drop me a message, I did quite a lot of work with 3d printed speakers and you may have seen mine around.
I wish you’d offer 3d print router jigs for these builds
Instead of smoothing the response, consider adjusting your time gate on your measurement to reduce some reflections. This is useful if you want to see what the speaker is doing without the room response.
I was really starting to think you dropped your channel off a cliff... Missed you! I'm wondering if my brother's glowforge can accomplish similar results. It doesn't run on cad, so the conversation is bound to be centered on how to translate the information.
You can use Autodesk Slicer to turn a 3D model into stacked layers perfect for laser cutting. Can set whatever thickness of sheet you can laser cut. I did this to recreate the Hexibase dual 3" subwoofer using stacked 1/2" plywood cut with my CO2 laser.
Glowforge sure can! You can have some fun with a glowforge!!
I try to use a pair of Monoprice M1060 planar magnetics or a pair of HD600s when watching your videos. More the HD600s as I think I remember you mentioning it was what you mixed your music with and what better to listen to your audio with than what you yourself mix the recordings with. I just built a large 3d printer to do my own speaker designs on. Im no acoustic engineer, but I use SoundEasy and BoxCAD for my modeling and measurements along with a relatively cheap Dayton Audio Electret microphone. I also use a DATS V3 for my TS parameters. I am more of a large scale 3-way speaker designer and would love to see a project of that magnitude done, either fully 3d printed, or a combination of the laser engraver and 3d printing as the boxes for large drivers can get into the 3cf-4cf range.
id like to see some sort of multi material with a frequency of give that creates a special kind of feedback.
Awesome video! And I play yt videos through a set of Fluance Signature bookshelf speakers and a diy powered 10" subwoofer.
