      From: info@turneraudio.com.au              I correct a mistake I made in my last previous post about adjustable levels of       mids and treble in my last post. The schematic Phil sent us to view DOES HAVE       variable level adjustements for mid- treble units. Perhaps the mid-treble       parts of schematic do        have differences to what i found - some 7? years back, but the owner recently       emailed me to say how pleased he was about the sound after I totally rebuilt       the speakers using two lower midrange drivers supplied from AR and two       Peerless upper mids I        supplied. I cannot recall if I replaced the tweeters.               But the bass speaker part of schematic is different to what I found, and       because all 4 bass drivers worked OK I retained them, but used them in series.              I well remember how difficult it was to get all drivers to work properly with       a total of 6 slightly over damped second order filters and give a flat       response at 3 metres, and have an acceptable impedance curve. The trade off       was that the overall        sensitivity of the bass speakers was determined by the bass acoustic levels at       50-80Hz with all mids&treble set for center switch position.               I concluded that a 4 way speaker is never needed because it can be done better       and more easily with 3 way, from 20Hz to 20kHz, and a sub-woofer isn't needed       because you pick a decent bass that goes as low as subs do, and then have       their cut off at around        250Hz. The mid-treble X-over is then placed at 3kHz, and each driver thus does       a decade of frequencies.        Patrick Turner.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
