Accuton driver

Greg Greg Greg. The sound of any good driver depends on the skill of the speaker designer Huh? So one can simply use cheapest drivers with small diameter voice coils, small magnets and with a long coil in a short gap and it will still sound great depending on the skill of the designer and the quality of the veneer?

Are there any commercial speakers out there that offer that driver combination? Greg The Accuton drivers when used by a skilled designer can sound very good but they do have some limitations.

Best to use the same material Hz and above. The sound just gets even clearer and smoother when it transitions to the ribbon at 2k. A talented designer given the same parts will produce a better speaker than the less talented designer. Best Regards,. Rsimms, That makes perfect sense, ribbon's ring so its a good match.

Its like having a mini reverb on every note. Verrry ooopen and aireeee! Audioconnection, For a very short while you had me thinking that you might be right. As a trained physicist, any such ringing would be resonances that would show up in the frequency response curve. I am sure that there is some ringing but it must be in the ultrasonic region. Even my dog doesn't seem to hear that high. I just love all the wrong uninformed posts by those who feel they have a grasp on loudspeaker design.

Keep it coming I need some humor. I stand corrected. For some reason I read, "any good speaker" rather than "any good driver" - anyway it read like that to me My highest priority is natural tone and timbre of acoustic instruments. Charles1dad, I did offer PHY loudspeakers but I do find there to be other transducers that are better sounding for less outlay. That being said PHY km30sag and other PHY transducers are great for acoustic music but to me a bit colored and the baskets causes issues with difraction that other full ranges or coaxils do not have trouble with.

I also design with accutons these transducers do require more work with crossovers to get the best out of them but this is common with many modern transducers so not just accuton and to give accuton credit there newer transducers are a bit easier to design with.

One can design a good sounding loudspeaker with either. Myself I use massive horns or full-ranges with super tweeters or 2 way ribbon hybrid designs. I tend to be drawn towards lower power amplifiers so this also steers me into loudspeakers that work well with such. If your more into SS or high power tube etc. Then a Accuton equipped loudspeaker might be the better choice. If low power amplifiers and simplicity of design appeals to you then PHY might be a good option for you.

I have two systems, an Accuton based system and a Phy kmbased system. The Accutons are driven by watts tube-hybrid in a large room. The Phy are driven by 10 Watt B in a smaller room. The speakers are by Marten Design and Musical Affairs respectively. I listen mainly to jazz and rock. The Martens excel with all music types, but especially complex music and amplified music ie. They are crystal clear, and provide the necessary quickness and slam. I find them neutral in character. The Musical Affairs are lovely with vocals and acoustic ensembles small group jazz, chamber music , and some older classic rock recordings.

They provide warm full tones and timbres, and surprisingly deep and tuneful bass. However they do not do well with modern ie. With these musics the rendering is often flat and lifeless. Also they do not compete at the high frequencies with the full-range designs.

This is a classic matchup of medium sensensitivity multidriver versus high sensitivity full-range driver. They are both excellent designs, but quite different in my experience. Step 2: Mount the signal booster- using the installation manual or guide, use screws to mount the booster in the ideal location.

Step 3: Make a connection of the indoor antenna cables to the booster connector which is marked indoor. Ensure you have tightened the connection using a wench Step4: if you are using an outdoor booster, connect the outdoor antenna cables to the booster connector marked outdoor. Tighten the connection with hand or wench Step 5: You then screw the stick antenna before you switch on the booster.

Then connect the AC power cord to the signal booster and afterward connect the plug to the electrical outlet. This will power on your booster. You should then wait for a few seconds before you start experiencing improved signal. We are happy to inform you that you can place any orders you wish, as planned.

In the past I have had electrostatic speakers and a big enough room to suit them, but now the listening room that I am stuck with is too small for them and I need some kind of near-field monitors with similar sound qualities to take thie place.

I am looking at using the Accuton C 2" ceramic dome driver as the midrange, with C 1" ceramic dome tweeters. Has anybody out there built or heard a speaker system that uses these two drivers? Can these or any other relatively compact dynamic drivers produce as convincing a soundstage depth and breadth as well-tuned electrostats? More options. CeramicMan Member. Looking at the specs, the C44 is practically a second tweeter rather than a midrange. When I make my next pair of speakers I keep saying that I will, but I'll get around to it one day , I intend to use the C79 for the midrange.

That way the monitors can be kept down to a reasonable size without too many sacrifices. What are your past diy experiences?
