    Cornwall I "Blaring" Midrange?

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    again loss of air is a problem - but you can do a lot of testing yourself and get back to us with your results

    - I can suggest a few ways to test the midrange drivers -here is a small list - the k55v on CW1 are the push pin type - so all you have to do is push the pins -remove the wiring and unscrew to swap the BLARING midrange driver from speaker to speaker and from the 2 crossovers and the 2 horns -

    A) You can unscrew one midrange driver at a time and test it on each of the 2 crossovers - that will give you the crossover test - basically you are testing to see if the driver sounds different on each crossover or not -

    B) swapping each midrange driver on the 2 midrange horns - will handle the horn testing and the gaskets - this will allow you to see if the gaskets are causing the issue -

    C) there are 6 screws on each k55V - make sure these are tight - do not overtighten -

    D) if you end up not seeing any problems with the crossovers - the gaskets - the horns - then the 4th step is to remove the 6 screws on the k55V and open the midrange driver to take a look at the diaphragm of the K55V that has the issue - nothing like seeing the internals of the diaphragm -take some time and clean the inside from dust -

    these 4 tests should enable you to troubleshoot the cause of the problem - again only one of the 2 drivers has an issue -so you can simply concentrate on the one that is doing the BLARING -sound -

    E) You can also take an ohmmeter and check the DCR - 10ohms is about right -

    F) make sure that all screws on the midrange horn are tight - as long as you are at it - go through all the screws of the tweeter driver and horn - midrange driver and horn - woofer screws - these speakers are 30 plus years old so that will not hurt at all to get to know the overall condition of your speakers -

    good luck -

    Order K401

    just by curiousity - how do you crack k401 horns - I have several of the k400 in my scalas - is the k401 fragile - or is this simply an accident - I just was about to purchase a pair - maybe I should stick to the older alloy horn - but they are scarse - tx

    Polyester Film Capacitors

    can someone explain to us the difference with capacitors - per example - SONICAP -ERSE - SOLEN - when you see Klipsch original factory crossovers - I never see brands like DAYTON- SONICAP - SOLEN - ERSE - it is always some weird brand - made in mexico or somewhere in asia -

    Another H2 to H3 Conversion question

    in Technical/Restorations

    Posted

    the k28 is a definite improvement on the k24 since it is a 4Ohms woofer -[Y], I recently got a pair - so the testing is done -the bass is up - I dont know how to measure it - but you can feel it right away - strong and punchy -

    -the Tangent T-400 is a stretched version of the heresy by almost one foot longer -so it will deliver even more bass than a H2 to H3 comparison -

    -the k23 is also a 4ohms woofer but I have never seen or tested one-

    -take care -

    Klipsch La Scala Bass

    in Technical/Restorations

    I tried the upper enclosed horn modification and the lower one that you are showing - both work but nothing to really brag about - it adds some bass effect -- but this aint like a Cornwall - I find it alters the quality sound out of the Original LasCala setup -

    - the real improvement is done by adding a subwoofer - setup - like the SW-15 series from Klipsch http://www.klipsch.com/sw-15 - http://www.klipsch.com/sw-15-ii - these subs alone bring out the low frequencies that the Lascala cannot reach - a single is sufficient - as it also carries a passive radiator -

    -Klipsch had another solution which was the way the original design was made to work - simply adding a second Lascala bass bin -

    -good luck -

    k42kp can these operate correctly with a H1-H2 crossover -or should I switch to the HIP -AA crossover

    in Klipsch Pro Audio

    Posted

    Gentlemen - I just bought a couple of k42 KP woofers -
    I was wondering if these can work in a Heresy I or Heresy II cab while
    using
    the original crossovers - being 8 ohm woofers alike the k22 and k24 -
    can one expect a better sound - more detailed tones - or is it back to
    square one - the k42 kp can handle more power so can I expect to being
    able to have the speakers go louder before the woofer reaches the
    distortion levels -

    -finally - is the original HIP crossover that uses the EVM12L Compatible with a K42kp - I understand that this is very similar to the AA netword - tx -

    your input would be appreciated - very much obliged -randy -

    k42 KP woofers - can these be installed in Heresy I or I with the original crossovers -
