1500 is upper midrange. If you do a search for frequency chart of musical instruments, you should find what you are looking for. Erik, I have built using buttererworth, bessel, linkwitz riley and chebyshev. I believe that you were looking for bessel, this has a very smooth impulse response and I agree with you, I suspect the designer was most likely dealing with some other issue that they used this dip to deal with it.
3-4 dB dip at crossover region: what should I listen for to hear it?
I haven’t posted here for about 10 years but thought I’d jump back in to ask about my new JBL 4349s. According to measurements on ASR and even JBLs own graphs, the 4349s have a 3-4 dB dip in the crossover region at about the 1.5 kHz mark. What should I listen for to hear this? I understand that music in this range will be quieter, but I’m not hearing any suckout compared to my Omegas or other speakers Ive had in my system. I’ve played some clarinet and violin concertos, two instruments that spend a lot of time in this frequency range, but I can’t hear an obvious difference. Am I listening for the wrong thing? I’d like to be able to hear this deficiency for leaning purposes if nothing else, so any pointers are appreciated.
Many thanks!
