    Compact monitor

    Hi all,

    What do you think about combining the new M2 waveguide driven by a 4" driver with a 2206 for a compact monitor type DYI speaker? An updated Array 1200...

    It would probably have to be active to take advantage of the waveguide.

    Maybe there will be a need for a UHF unit as the 2430k probably goes higher than the 2447/245x drivers.

    The 2206 is an awesome driver for a two way system. A large format compression driver won't give you the sizzle of a tweeter. Can't see that you have room for a tweeter anyway. Isn't the 2430K used in a three way configuration? What is your application?

    Hi,

    The intention is to build a small "monitor type" HiFi speaker for home use. I don't have space for large floorstanding units so these would would be as close as I can get I guess. They will be supported by two SUB1500 subs in closed cabinets.

    I have a few 2206's so I plan to find a matched pair.

    If there is a need for a UHF unit I think there is space to mount someting at the bottom of the waveguide . I will check clearence over the weekend.

    Kind regards

    Yes, that would preclude any design plans. All I can suggest, is to refrain from using a constant directivity wave guide for HiFi. By their very design they are a high frequency killer, and subject to phase incoherency issues.

    Cool 2206 2-way systems

    I'm liking the resurgence of 2206 2-way designs.

    The plan is to use 2451Be's and if they do not go all the way, to use 045Ti's.
