Hi chaps
I've got 2441s on 350Hz round tractrix horns which I'm using from 700Hz up (I'm using 12db passive line level crossovers).
There is some definite peaking going on. My crappy Rat Shack SPL meter tells me it's in the 4.5kHz to 5.5kHz range, with a pronounced peak at 5kHz. My ears tell me pretty much the same thing.
Is this a normal response for 2441s on tractrix horns? Any suggestions for how to eliminate the peak? Is it something only EQ can resolve? I was thinking of going 3-way by using 2404Hs at around 5kHz. That way I could use a band pass XO for the 2441 (say, rolling off the 2441s at around 4kHz). Or would a notch filter on the 2441s be better, with the 2404Hs coming in much higher (eg. 10kHz)?
Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.
Cheers. Doug
