Over the holiday i had time to put together an demo of how to use Soundeasy V11 to measure T/S parameters.

This demo will be the first in a series of other demos on how to use Soundeasy V11.

Measuring T/S in Soundeasy

I started working on a new speaker project that has been in my brain for about a year. I wanted to turn a sphere shape from MDF and use this as a speaker box. I ran into a few problems, but nothing that hurt the project too badly.

While i was making the MTM and MT setup for the home theater system i decided i would measure the 8ohm drivers that i used in the surround in the MTM box wire in parallel. This combo IMHO is the best setup for these drivers. You get a solid 90dB response from the loudspeaker when you wire these drivers in parallel.

This crossover design is not tested. I base this design on my Soundeasy measurements. If anyone makes this loudspeaker please let contact me and let me know how things sound.

My brother is a fantastic wood worker and he put a new twist on the two way speakers i used for surround speakers in the SF Home theater project. Marquetry is basically making pictures with veneers. You can see more of this word working at his website.

I started a new project that uses passive radiators. I have no idea what i am going to do with this speaker. I just got really curious about passives and wanted to experiment. Parts Express had the 8" passive as Deal of the Day for $10 each so i picked up 4 of them along with two 10" Dayton DVC drivers. It will probably turn into some kind of three way speaker when all is said in done.
