I found a PDF version of this JBL tech note (Vol 1, No 34) while searching the web. It is not available on the JBL pro website, so I thought it might be of interest to other forum readers if I post...
I learned of Drew's early demise only today, when I visited his website and saw the announcement of his unexpected death.
Drew Daniels was, and will remain, the single greatest influence on my...

I use a rs485 network cable to daisy-chain the two dcx's so that I can simultaneously control them both from my laptop.
Unfortunately, I cannot individually address the dcx's to vary the setup on...
I have been using DCX-Remote software, with a null modem cable, to control two DCX2496's in five-way crossover configuration for several years now.
The music does not get transmitted, only some of...
I was recently privileged to be selected as the 2009 distinguished lecturer by the Society of Exploration Geophysicists, and I spent the first half of this year visiting a few dozen cities spread...
Bad news, It turns out I'm in the market for a refoam kit as well.
After two years of baking in the heat in their new home in Muscat, Oman (where the outside temperature can top 50degree C), the...
Technique for turning waveguides or circular axially symmetric horns on a lathe is the same for any type of template driven wood turning.
1) mount stock and shape to circular
2) rough out outside...
Post number two (of two)
The pictures are numbered and captioned, and should be mostly self explanatory. If you have specific questions, or want more info related to some aspect of the process, you...
Thanks for the feedback, I hope my comments on system philosophy and horn design will be of some use to you in your speaker building projects.
Also, apologies to the Lansing heritage membership...
The difference in spectral tilt could be caused by one or more of:
1) nearfield vs. farfield differences, the smith horn mouth is a diffraction slot in the vertical dimension, and you may need to...
What's the vertical & horizontal scales on the green RTA display? (Hz and dB/div)
On axis?
how far from the boxes?
how do the curves look off axis?
as mentioned in an earlier post, the...
I dug out a sample of one of the dual gang pots that I am using, and had a look at the manufacturers name, they are listed as NMEG (see photo below).
These are fairly expensive, see maplins...
I built up a 12 gang log pot by dismantling 12 dual potentiometers and re-assembling the pieces so that they all connect together to form a single very long multi-ganged potentiometer. Tracking is...
I have completed my long reply to the questions from Ian Mackenzie and Rob H, and have placed these in a new thread called:
Factors Affecting Sonic Quality of Mid & HF Horns & Waveguides...
Construction details and flare contour graphs for 1" and 2" axially symmetric oblate spheroid waveguides are available on my thread: DIY Axially symmetric oblate spheroid CD waveguides, in solid Oak...
(This is the last post in this 9 part series, if you jumped to this thread here at the end, please go to the top and read all 9 parts in series, for continuity.)
What about CD above 10 kHz:...
Diffraction aperture dimensions:
Rapid throat flare rate is a necessary, but not a sufficient condition for wide angle, high frequency diffraction, as the diffraction aperture must also be...
Horn wall shape:
Straight sided waveguides are fundamentally different from traditional flared horn contours. Imagine the layers (skins) of an onion represent the isophase acoustic wave fronts...
Why CD?
My original interest in smooth power response was motivated by a series of articles which appeared over a number of years during the 1980’s, in an obscure Canadian magazine called Audio...
Mouth termination in commercial horns and waveguides:
Commercial horns and waveguides may also suffer from physical constraints associated with the need to be economical in terms of front baffle...
Horn-Honk measurements and calibration:
To help entice everyone to give this a try, I have decided to do the experiment for you, (just this once), in such a way that I can measure, and graphically...
