JBL 2226H - Outside Ground Plane Measurements

[dkalsi]

I was just messing around with a small build (Wayne 4Pi Speakers) and wanted to take measurements of the JBL 2226H before proceeding.

I dropped the 2226H in an enclosure I had laying around and took it outside for some ground plane measurements. The enclosure was about 18.5" wide and 24" tall (just about).

I was pretty impressed with the response and thought I share my results.

Nice smooth mid-range with minimal cone break up. This is raw response, no EQ, no baffle step circuitry, etc.

Now I can't remember if the measurement below was taken with the cabinet tilted slight down (so the woofer faces the mic) or with the cabinet facing forward. Probably the latter since I don't see a rising response - but nonetheless, still very impressed with its smooth mid range quality.
