Colin Posted November 19, 2004 Share Posted November 19, 2004 thought I had one, can you send it to me or provide the link for Khorn, or any of the Heritage models? gracias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 20, 2004 Share Posted November 20, 2004 For which network and drivers? Why not email or PM Trey -- Klipsch might give that up from an older, out of production network/driver combination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 Bumpity comment, shamelessly designed to keep my post on top! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Colin, I posted the impedance chart a while ago. It's on the board someplace! Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted November 24, 2004 Author Share Posted November 24, 2004 aargh! ever done a search on this forum? any idea of the title, subject or forum name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 Colin, any idea of the title, subject or forum name? You got a point there! It's easier just to upload it again! Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sunnysal Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 it that from richard heyser´s article? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted November 26, 2004 Share Posted November 26, 2004 Anthony, Yes, it was published in Audio magazine. Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 wow! Thanks AL, BTW your ALKs are on the top of my Xmas list, this year, this is not what I expected though, guess I was thinking of frequency vs impedance, but this is interesting, thanks, what good points and what bad points does it show for the Khorn, in simple English please (I am blonde) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deang Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 "...this is not what I expected though, guess I was thinking of frequency vs impedance..." But that's exactly what they are. Again, those are the graphs for a certain driver/network combination -- which may or may not correspond to what you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 guess I am looking for electrical impedance and phase chart, which I am more used to looking at... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-MAN Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 I think he means a LINEAR graph vs. a POLAR coordinate graph. Frequency and impedance is often displayed that way as they are easier to read and understand. Unfortunately, I do not have one available, the Klipsch Khorn flyer from the '70s had one, though.

Al Klappenberger Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 That is called a "Bode plot", or something like that. It is a far better way to show impedance becasue it shows you COMPLEX impedance. It indicates if the impedance is resistive, indutive or capacitive. A single line plot with frequency tells you simple impedance only. That is: sqrt(r*r + x*x). It combines resistance ® with reactance (x). Al K.

Colin Posted November 29, 2004 Author Share Posted November 29, 2004 yeah, linear, that's the ticket The nominal, which means it is just a stupid meaningless number, impedance of the classic Klipsch corner Khorns is 8 ohms. From previous post; Khorn Impedance: I measured the impedance curve of my 1980 vintage K-horns. It varies quite a bit, but is basically between 5 and 8 ohms in the frequency range of 45 Hz to 300 Hz. The minimum is 4.9 ohms at 53 Hz. This is with all original drivers and the speaker in a corner. Below 45 Hz there is a resonance peak of 20.5 ohms at 36 Hz. Above 300 Hz, there is a gradual rise to 31 ohms at 2400 Hz and then a gradual fall to 8 ohms at 5 kHz. Above 5 kHz it's between 8 and 14 ohms.
