@rixthetrick I am in Queensland, Brisbane actually. Kyron Audio is in SA though. Where are you?
... sound batting and/or weighting speakers ...
Hello to all...
Need some thoughts and/or suggestions: I am using a pair of KEF Q1s - luv the sound, so much more full than I ever expected - and the driver has such cone extension that the speaker box really vibrates. Now - I am assuming that the vibration really = the possibility of distortion ( or a smearing at higher volumes, tonal deformity, if that is different) and I am wondering if this is more controllable by:
Adding more sound batting into the enclosure (thru the bass port)
Weighting the speakers with a bag of lead shot (?) over the top of the driver/cabinet box ( the cabinet is not flat on top, so I can't use a brick or solid weight; I'm guessing the weight should be something moldable, so the lead shot in a bag is possible if I can figure a way to affix it to the cabinet...)
Thoughts? Suggestions? Alternates?

Who needs a box? My speakers have no box. But gird all drivers with thick aircraft aluminium and you have something pretty spectacular. Sound and looks. check www.kyronaudio.com.au and look up the Gaia. For subwoofers look up the Mercury. Frequency response 0.5Hz to 60Hz (-3db). Music? Spectacular. 😁 🇦🇺 |
