If more articulate, solid bass is what you're trying to achieve, I have had luck using larger than normal vent diameters. Up to six inches in some cases. Large vents will reduce the...

A standard factor in horn design, is the crossover point should be one octave above the horn low frequency cut off. For example, the ALTEC Lansing 811 horn has an approximate 400...

The typical volume gained by adding damping material would be 1.4 times the gross volume of the enclosure. Personally, I use damping material sparingly, as too much will suck...

Large ports will provide more articulate low frequency at the point of resonance. In other words, a tight bass. Large meaning, 5-8 inches in diameter depending on the volume of the...

I picked up a pair of big ol' cabinets tonight that were loaded with Altec 420A. I'm wondering how they would sound in the C34 cabinets?

[QUOTE=Kay Pirinha;420768]Hi,
for my upcoming 4430 project I'd need two ports of 104 mm internal diameter and 210 mm length. Tubes of this diameter appear to be unobtainable here in Germany. Next...

Hi Barry -
I stand corrected. I should have explained myself better. However, I'm not all that familiar with the 2234. I conducted a T-S parameter test about ten years ago with one of my 136A's...

The mass ring serves to increase the total mechanical mass of the cone assembly, thereby lowering the free air resonance ( fs ) of the woofer. By removing the ring you essentially have...

Do you have a schematic? If not, some kind soul on this forum might be able to help you out. Or the value may be stamped on the unit itself. There must be scores of resistive...

The ALTEC Lansing M500 was specifically designed for sound reinforcement, and should not be compared to a Model 19, which was designed specifically as a consumer HiFi speaker. If...

The rule of thumb is that a high frequency horn, or horn tweeter, will be crossed over approximately one octave above the horn cut-off frequency. Consider the horn mouth perimeter...

IMHO, no. The dome has a flange on it. I have never seen a JBL dome, either paper or aluminum, to have a flange. Also, the ribs lack definition. The cone and dome are a bit faded in...
You can remove the cover if you want, but an educated guess tells me doing so will not improve the sound. Doing so could do more harm to the sound than good at low frequencies. With respect to ported...
The hole plug is for symmetrically mounting the tweeters. Otherwise referred to as left and right hand.
You should have a pair phenolic insulators for the input terminal, so as not to short the positive terminal to the casting.

Post a photo, if you can.
Kinda funny.
Electro-Voice was mounting their horns and tweeters vertically decades ago.

If you must remove the cover I recommend not drilling out the pop rivets, as doing so may cause the rivet to spin when the drill bit makes contact with the steel pin, which will tear...
Based on the horn mouth dimensions, I think 1.5K would be safe bet. However, the 2414 data sheet suggest a 2.1K crossover frequency. The 2414 published highest frequency response is listed as 20K. It...
If you plan on using the APT-200 horn, consider this.
As a rule of thumb, the crossover frequency that should be used is typically one octave above the low frequency cut-off of the horn. Or, the...

Do you expect someone to give it to you for free? Files like that require an awful lot of work before you can even think about creating a CNC program.
