Satori Two \u2013 Monitor Prototype!<\/strong><\/p>\n

Satori Two \u2013 Monitor<\/strong><\/span> is the current project I\u2019m working on. The pictures show the unpainted prototype baffle that\u2019s on the test bench.\u00a0 As you can see in the pictures a stepped baffle is used in order to compensate for the tweeter and the mid-woofers relative acoustic center off-sets.<\/p>\n

The cross-over prototype uses a shallow sloped LR2 (acoustical) filter, which electrically consist of a first order filter + a response shaping circuit for the mid-woofer and a second-order filter + a response shaping circuit for the tweeter.<\/p>\n

Two different ScanSpeak Illuminator tweeter options will be tested and can you read more about these two different tweeters here:<\/p>\n

ScanSpeak Illuminator Tweeter Measurements!<\/a><\/p>\n

I will soon start the prototype cross-over evaluation and listening tests.<\/p>\n

Sequence Three \u2013 Grand Reference!<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Sequence Three \u2013 Grand Reference <\/strong><\/span>design is finished, but unfortunately I haven\u2019t done final measurements and the write-up for publishing yet. I had a mishap with the RAAL ribbons where I accidently got a bad ground loop in one of my amplifiers due to a poorly fastened signal cable in combination with the RAALs connected with only a single cap. The RAAL ribbons are very robust and didn\u2019t break completely, but the ribbon did get stretched. I haven\u2019t yet succeeded to tighten them enough to be satisfied.<\/p>\n

The loudspeaker sounds good, but not as great as they did before the mishap. I will once again try to tighten them, but in the end I might have to buy a new set of replacement ribbons before I make the final measurements for the write-up.<\/p>\n

If you can\u2019t wait for me to publish the finished Sequence Three \u2013 Grand Reference<\/strong><\/span> design and you are planning to build something similar, you can always contact me by mail by filling in the Contact Form<\/a> and I will give you some cross-over details to get you started with the design.<\/p>\n

Currently I also doing some extensive driver unit measurements on a series of modest priced tweeters and mid-woofers that I will use in future designs.<\/p>\n

Regards<\/p>\n
