I use a clio 11 system with calibrated microphone ( these days they have the 12 version)

Audiomatica Srl

Thanks ,

One last one for now , Pocket clio or 12.0..?

12,0 has the design suite and pocket clio looks like a basic measurement deal , how extensive is the 12 , does it allow designing XOvers from measured data and with Sims ..?

Regards

What are the speakers

I suppose you mean the rockport arrakis then

It depends how many things you wanna measure. .
For relatively simple FR measurements i assume a clio pocket system would be sufficient.
The clio 11 and 12 have much more possibilities

X over simulation programs you can find all over the internet.
With both clio systems you can design x overs , you just need experience / know how .
Mine are all custom I dont use simulation / calculation programs

Finished.
The ringradiator is again my favorite.
Happy with the design , quit satisfied with the closed cabinet bass performance

I ll be testing next month also the SB acoustics Beryllium tweeters , textreme midrange and textreme tweeters .
Textreme is basically a carbon fiber composite material.

Apparently the scanspeak Beryllium tw are not available at the moment ( material issues )

Love the sound of the ringradiator in my early Sonus Fabers, never tizzy or bright, even on shitty material !

I think it has to do with fact that the textile dome is pierced in the middle and connected to the aluminium wave guide.
Reducing any unwanted membrane resonances.
Super smooth high freq .
I m also quit surprised how fullfilling a 40 hz ( 37 hz - 3db) to 20 khz ls can sound.
I miss the big system but not as much as i thought.
High freq reproduction and midrange has improved over the XPE model despite the use of a different brand / much cheaper capacitators.

Finished design XPE-S ( small )
More then happy with the sound despite doubts about the reduced cabinet thickness 13 mm instead of 40 mm
Angled internal walls to reduce/ diffuse the back wave seems to work just fine
My favourite tweeter so far is the scanspeak revelator ringradiator and soft dome version , no need to go berylium imv.
The most transparent speaker i ve designed to date, series filters really work .
HPL rules best cabinet material period :cool:

2 vids : 1 YT streaming , 1 tape




After listening to a lot of tape over the weekend , my Solid state urge is kinda gone .
I think the CAT SL1 legend / CAT JL5 black path is my last amp .

Ps although id love to try the LAMM LL1.1 / ML3
