Visaton open baffle project idea, opinions?

[DaveFred]

Hello From Canada!

Sorry, I don't speak German, but I came here for the Visaton Expertise!

I am looking to make an all Visaton open baffle speaker with a maximum width of 38cm and maximum height of 120cm.

The budget is to be modest using a pair of inexpensive high QTS WS25E-8 10" woofers, an AL130M-8 for the important midrange and the G20SC for a tweeter with good off axis response.

I have attached a few graphics and the .BPJ file if anyone wants to look at it.

I followed the open baffle instructions for Boxsim at,

http://www.boxsim.de/FAQ/FAQ0011.html

But I had a little problem with the woofer settings, when I set the "Volume increase factor" to 1, the woofer response jumped to the top of the chart. When it changed it to 0.0000001, it seemed to work. I hope this does not make the results invalid.

What do you think?

hi dave, sorry i speak french or german

I have simplified the filter

for a modest budget take the excellent and low budget SC13 instead of the AL130

[jama]

whit SC13 or WS-13E

This is a bug in Boxsim 2.0. Best workaround is what jama already did. He used a newer driver file. This bug happens to all drivers that are measured on the wide side of the old test box.
It will be corrected in the next version.

Will using the value of 0.00000001 for "Volume increase factor" give valid / correct results?

[jama]

by reducing the height to 110cm the response curve is flatter between 500 Hz and 5000 Hz

Ich würde so probieren. Man achte auf diese Resonanzstelle um 9kHz

I have been trying different baffle layouts where I can place the drivers all in the centre so their radiation patterns are symmetrical, and this is what I have come up with.

What do you think of this layout?

About the tweeter, do you think I am crossing the G20SC too low, or does it look fine?

For the crossover, I have used real values for everything of components I can source locally with correct OHM resistance for each. I used a 16g laminated steel inductor on the woofer, and 18g air core for the rest.

How accurate is Boxsim on open baffle designs like this?

I have included the Boxsim .BPJ file for you to look at as well.

Comments?

(P.S. I have cleaned up my crossover diagram, I didn't think of using three amps for a cleaner layout... )

Thank you,

David in Canada.

G20SC from 3000 Hz only, used G25 FFL

[bochsenbaua]

Maybe U could use a waveguide

[Markus213]

Diese Geschichte mit dem G20 ist nicht gut. Die deutschen Produkte sind sehr gut aber auch haben ihre Grenzen. Es ist von mir nur ein Vorschlag in welcher Richtung ich an deiner stelle gehen würde. Die Pegeln musst du dir selber anpassen.

July 22 simple baffle v5 pretty good v2 real values v3SW.BPJ

[jama]

so is okay for G20SC

[jama]

BF32 as tweeter --> advantage : real open tweeter, Al membran
