Hi folks. In an earlier thread I discussed making new cabinets for my 4412a monitors to make them work in a vertical configuration for loungeroom use. I have been toying with a few ideas for cabinets/baffles, just wondering if I could get some comments on them. Feel free to tell me they totally suck!
First is a standard mirror image offset baffle design, with a slightly raised baffle that "falls away" from the drivers in an effort to reduce diffraction. All edges will be rounded off.
The second is a slightly obscure idea that has the mf and hf drivers in a seperate cabinet. Again the baffle will be raised and fall away from the drivers somewhat, with rounded edges. I like the idea of separating the lf and the mf/hf boxes in the interest of keeping the mid as clean as possible.
The drawings are rough sketches only and don't show the detail of the "moulded" baffles and rounded edges. I want to reduce diffraction as much as possible in the midrange to make them image as well as they can.
Thanks for any opinions, I'm new at this and making it up as I go along...
