psg Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Thanks Shawn, I'll look into that. It's probably the cheapest mod out there if you can get the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tofu Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 so sfogg, you just threw a glob of putty on the lips of the 511b's? i'm assuming i can do the same with the extra rope caulk i have left over? interesting how you didn't have to line the entire lip. i'll try lining the top and bottom with the rope caulk so it looks neater instead of squishing it all up in the middle. because these things sure as hell ring when i clap. it's not a subtle ring either. although when i play music, i can't detect the ringing. i suppose it's masked by the music pretty well. -chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfogg Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 " i'll try lining the top and bottom with the rope caulk so it looks neater instead of squishing it all up in the middle." When I had them installed I had it lining pretty much the whole lip. But just a blob in the middle will kill the ringing from the claps too, that is what I did for the recordings. As far as neater do it on the bottom lip and you can't see it either way so it isn't an issue. One lip is all the needs it. Two didn't seem to be any better and maybe was even slightly worse when hitting the horn to make it ring. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tofu Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 one lip? sounds good. how many layers of the rope caulk should i use? and should i line the entire thing or just the extreme tip and use about two rows of the caulk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfogg Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 No idea how much rope caulk it would take. I don't think that stuff has as much mass as the Plumbers Putty. Just keep adding it till you can't get the horn to ring so easily as a starting point. Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psg Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Peter, You should be able to get Plumbers Putty locally at a plumbing place or hardware store. Much less oily then the rope caulk so it is cleaner to work with. Shawn Also, google tells me I can buy a 3 lbs bucket for $6! Seems to be much cheaper than rope caulk.
