Headphone measurements: Measurements are taken on a calibrated B&K HATS (head and torso simulator). Measurements are converted to diffuse field or free field equivalent responses depending on which it looks like the headphones were designed for as noted on the graphs (so a flat response is subjectively flat).

I built the router to cut this horn and others that I'm working on. Parts for the horn, profiled in a sheet of MDF. The same parts after 3D milling and assembly, but before sanding. The partially sanded LeCleac'h horn with a bass cabinet. More horn pics A battery bracket for my motorcycle, also cut on my router.

Drivers used are the SG-160, SG-370DX, SG-570, and SG-38WNS. Here are a few pictures: Bass cabinets during construction Some outdoor testing Getting ready to weld a mid horn stand The stands awaiting some polishing Finished system setup for listening Crossover is setup on top of the bass cabinets for testing Mid support stand - can be aimed vertically via the threaded rod Mid horn cradle High frequency horn stand The crossover network Alignment guide As shown, there is no finish applied. The stands were not fully polished as they were to be painted as well. |
