Flex Your PCD Mettle:

[lennon_68]

Re: Flex Your PCD Mettle:

I'm currently running something very similar to the EWave Deluxe with B&C DE500 on a QSC 152i (is that right? the one everyone's using) over an AE TD15M in an active setup.

I don't have much experience with crossovers though and am always tweaking something here and there. Right now I'm crossing LR24 at 1.2kHz. I was wondering if someone could help me translate the crossover for the EWave Deluxe to what I would input on my Behringer DCX2496 to try out? Maybe even just the filters to smooth the CD out actually (I'm not very confident I'm using the appropriate filters to compensate for the waveguide)?

I had also considered building the passive XO for the EWave Deluxe but wasn't sure what to build. The main posts has two links for the Deluxe one around page 2 that eventually has a very simple XO posted by Pete and then one to a post much later with a much more complex XO?

Any input would be greatly appreciated

Re: Flex Your PCD Mettle:

I am leaning toward a separate amp for main speakers and subs now. The new Crown Drivecore amps are very inexpensive and have 24db LR filters built in, so I am thinking Ewave mini down to 100hz then maybe a tapped horn for 35 to 100hz. I just have to research some plans.

But I plan on building a few different subs.

Randy,
The ".5" woofer should be exactly the same as the main woofer, otherwise it may not sum correctly when both woofers are playing together to buttress the low-end range. So, you'd need a pair of the Beta 8As per speaker to do it.

Re: Flex Your PCD Mettle:

After spending a good 7 hours reading this thread over 2 days, I am jumping in with the e-wave mini...Beta 8A, D220ti, and HM17-25.
Just ordered some of the parts.

I think this could be become the basis of a real hi-end system if I can turn it into a 2.5 way. The .5 woofer being a 12" or 15".

Could even consider the "single sheet challenge" tapped horn over at diyforum for the .5 (using the Kappalite 3015LF)

Maybe a transmission line with a Delta 15LF. Who knows?

Will keep ya posted.

I am sure he's refining 12 projects, and planning a dozen more.

That guy is missed when he's not around.

Re: Flex Your PCD Mettle:

Anyone hear from Zilch lately? It seems like a while since he's posted anywhere. I hope he's doing okay.

Maybe he's on vacation or went to China to get one of those fancy JBL or QSC wave guides duplicated. :D

58 pages is nothing considering the thread covers what would be a >12 speaker designs.

Re: EconoWave 4x / JBL 228H

[QUOTE=muzikal-jrne;1703315]

Zilch, did you ever come up with a crossover design for the Econowave 4x with the JBL 228H woofer and Selenium D2500Ti as shown in the left speaker of this picture? I know JBL has a crossover schematic for the AC18/95 here:

http://www.jblproservice.com/pdf/AE%.../AC1895-WH.pdf

but that is with the JBL compression driver and such.

This EconoWave combo appears to be a great design for a relatively compact reference level Home Theater/ Music speaker. (With the assistance of appropriate sub-woofage of course :D )

Cheers, Joe

+1, i am most interest in this compact build, more info please.

Re: Flex Your PCD Mettle:

I believe the regular deluxe delivers the best SQ.

Re: Flex Your PCD Mettle:

by "top performer" I am referring to SQ. Which version of the deluxe econowave has the best SQ?

[stgdz]

Re: Flex Your PCD Mettle:

Is their a definitive top performer of the EconoWave combinations to date?

Define top performer, if SQ it is the deluxe is the best, if output the HP is the best, if bang for the buck the SR is the best.


So did zilch go visit his friends at stanford?

Well sure, if you don't know what the definition of "absurd" is.
