InventiveAudio.com Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 I noticed in my Cornwall II's that there is no dampening material attached to the inside of the cabinet walls. However, in older Cornwalls they use to dampen the walls. Are there any advantages of adding dampening material? Whay did Klipsch stop using dampening material?

Klipschguy Posted August 21, 2002 Share Posted August 21, 2002 Cornwall II uses a different woofer from the Cornwall I and has different parameters. Evidently, the Cornwall II woofer (K34? - can't remember)) needs less damping than the Cornwall I woofer (K33). The box has to match the woofer.

Marty65 Posted August 23, 2002 Share Posted August 23, 2002 I'm not sure that the woofers are different, I once talked to Trey Cannon about this and I thought he said the woofers are identical other than the K-34 has a thinner front gasket because it is front mounted on the Cornwall II. I have also wondered why the Cornwall II does not have damping material inside. Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bean Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 I was speaking with a Klipsch engineer about the minimal dampening in my Cornwalls. It was his understanding that the dampening was used to control a bump in the response around 200hz. Klipsch determined that it didn't help much so they eliminated it in later models. ------------------ eat your vegetables This message has been edited by Big Bean on 08-27-2002 at 01:05 AM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
