    Red face Speaker alignment on 250 Ti

    Hello


    I am on the process to build my 250 Ti clones
    Now I have a problem on how to place the 4 speakers as they do not seem to be centered on the front panel .

    it looks like there is an axis with a 95° angle from the base that I could follow but I am not sure .

    May be someone can help ? .

    regards

    Gerard

    Hi Gerard,


    I remember a sketch of the cabinet somewhere here. Please try to find yourself.

    I believe this is pure optical.

    W, M, MH are sitting exactly middled at the according cab width. Only HF is little bit out of center which is better to avoid interferenceres at cabinet edges.

    I built lots of speakers with just scaling of sketches and was ever succesful. I believe that mm does not count. Others may think different though

    If someone else doesn't chime in I'll dig out my drawings and post them at some point. I looked when you first posted but they seem to be buried somewhere in a stack.

    They are definitely slanted inward. Here are some pictures. I hung a white string in front of the speakers for reference.

    5 degrees off of an imaginary vertical line or 95 degrees off of the bottom sounds about right, but if I was you I would try to get a set of drawings for them.

    The 250Ti cabinet looks more complex in person than it does in the brochures. In fact there are very few perependicular surfaces from which you can base a measurement. If I get a chance I will try to make some measurements this weekend. First I will have to determine a logical way to do it.

    Looks like the vertical side isn't vertical, either, but that might be just parallax in the pics....
