    Transmission line Speakers

    Thanks Ian. It does make sense. I'll keep the opening the correct size. I am doing a tapered design though. I am reducing from 1.5x Sd down to Sd. The calculated line is 156cm but will shorten that to 145cm (~8% reduction) depending on the build practicallity. I am also doing 2 folds as I want...

    Transmission line Speakers

    So I am busy with a design and have a couple of question... With all the reading and calculating etc, I think I have a good grasp of what needs to be done to build a TL box. If I make the port 10% smaller than the required size of Sd, I will add pressure to the line which might cause back...

    My next speaker build (again...)

    To keep it from falling over, add feet to the rear on extensions like Hi-Phib suggested but only in the rear. Then raise the rear to accommodate the extra height from the feet but keep the rest of the shape as is.

    The problem with really big power amps...

    SMPS supplying a Class A @ 311Vdc 15A ~4.5kW  :EGrin: Transformerless... Just silicon. Actually I did a project like that, just not for audio (project never went to production) I rectified the 220Vac to 310Vdc. Used some special FET's (each capable of 700W) in a push pull config. At working...

    The problem with really big power amps...

    The Vf of each diode will be different but it will be mV differences AND because of the lower current over the individual diodes, the Vf of each diode will be lower in anycase. I don't think you need to worry too much about this though.

    The problem with really big power amps...

    What if you use 2 switchmode supplies with positive and negative rails. That way the in rush will be controlled and any high current requirements can be taken care of. Switching noise should not be any issue if you run the switching frequency at higher than 300kHz. You wont need as many large...

    How to choose speaker drivers?

    They are working... After a while these drivers have settled or my eras have become accustomed to their sound... The midrange sounds dull or lacking or not as sharp or clear... The base needs adjustment but the highs are good. BUT When I connect the set to an old school JVC amp with about...

    Nice. These guys have VERY good pricing on PCB prototype: https://www.pcbway.com/ The courier is more than my PCB's (50mm x 25mm) though...  :nfi:
