LarryC Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Do you mean to the Squawker Larry? There would be no point in restricting the highs to the tweeter, yes?I meant restrict in the sense that the smaller coil keeps the tweet's highs (6K? and above) from going to the midrange. Thus, the tweeter's highs go only to the tweeter. The upper xover point's capacitor keeps the mid-range frequencies from going to the tweeter, and the smaller coil keeps ("restricts") the tweeter's frequencies from getting to the midrange -- keeps them at the tweeter where they belong.

colterphoto1 Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 T Do you mean to the Squawker Larry? There would be no point in restricting the highs to the tweeter, yes?I meant restrict in the sense that the smaller coil keeps the tweet's highs (6K? and above) from going to the midrange. Thus, the tweeter's highs go only to the tweeter. The upper xover point's capacitor keeps the mid-range frequencies from going to the tweeter, and the smaller coil keeps ("restricts") the tweeter's frequencies from getting to the midrange -- keeps them at the tweeter where they belong. That's kinda roundabout way of putting it LOL. Normall the frequencies being filtered are said to be not 'passed' to the given driver. Therfore a woofer would have a low pass, filtering the squwker's and tweeters high's in your parlance. So we're talking about the same thing. The early networks DID contain a provision (choke or coil) to roll off the higher frequencies (the tweeters job) from the squawker, a low pass to the squawker. Question would be - is this PWK's earliest arrangement and therefore the best engineering decision? And if so, why did they drop this portion of the network, was it deemed unnecessary from an engineering perspective or just 'not that important' and deleted for reasons of economy. Then that might lead us to an assumption that if PWK thought that having that filter in place the BEST answer, those rebuilding or reconfiguring xovers might be following PWK's original intent by inserting that portion of filter back into the circuit. (you know, all that P-trap stuff we read about) Just throwing that back out for discussion. Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott0527 Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 Beautiful. I still want one of your pairs of splits. When you get tired of lugging them in and out for parties of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators dtel Posted April 24, 2006 Moderators Share Posted April 24, 2006 Very nice , i always wanted to see them lined up like that. Hey here's an idea tie them in to the alarm system and scare the ears off any thief . I bet when you open up the garage and someone sees them for the first time they just stand their in shock. Michael when you find a nice lady you better pick one that likes audio but don't come with her own collection of speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colterphoto1 Posted April 24, 2006 Author Share Posted April 24, 2006 AWESOME Michael[] Me likes the light cloth Scally's the best[] Thanks man, those were homeowner jobs and my first LS. The guy put on the beige cloth, badges and screen stock moulding himself. It's Minwax Special Walnut stain and 3 coats of BLO. This old guy did em right. I bought them from the original owner, he'd moved them like twice. I've moved them more than he ever did. Immaculate condition, although the fabric is sagging a bit. I got them from a Forum member who won the bidding, but bought too many speakers that week (sound familiar) and passed them onto the Forum. They were only 2.5 hours from me.

Who's idea was to put the double stacks side by side aiming out the garage door for storage. I've got em wired up to the big Yammie, so just push B and rock out in the shop!

cjones Posted April 24, 2006 Share Posted April 24, 2006 GOOD GOD!!! You are a complete maniac and need professional help immediately! It should be against the law for one man to horde that many Heritage speakers. You should start your therapy today and sell me a pair of those Corns!
