AL 200 in dipole

[Lenny]

Hello

First of all – I’d like to apologize that I don’t speak German. Hope it won’t be big problem.

I plan to build cheaper ‘clon’ of S. Linkwitz Orions. I decided to use Seas 27TBFC [or, because of TBFC looks - 27TDFC, ok maybe
ScanSpeak 9500] as tweeter, 2xSLS 12’ for bass… and – I really dunno what to use on mids.
I think about Seas H1252 L22RNX/P, Peerless 830884 HDS-205 [new excusive series], and Visaton Al200.

I’d love to ask abort that Visaton. Would you recommend it to play in dipole from about 100-120 Hz to 1,5 kHz ? Maybe there is www
page with measurements [distortion, energy storage, freq response] of that driver [because I’m not German speaker – it is hard to search] ?

best regards

English no prob.

I never heard about anyone using the AL 200 in dipole. Measurements are in http://www.visaton.de/english/artikel/art_131_1_19.html

Xmax=14 mm (p-to-p) seems to be sufficient, Qts too. You will need to cross over steeply to avoid the resonances above 3kHz.

Thank you Rudolf for fast answer.

That's great

I saw this already of course... But I'm asking about, lets say more sophisticated, measurements [freq. response from different angles, distortion maybe...]

From that point of view it looks very nice indeed. Whats more - it has only one "break up" frequency - quite opposite than Seas I menntioned berofe. About crossing it - I think about full active system, with 24/oct - so no problem here.

So AL 200 in dipole - anyone heard of it ?

best regards
