Re: Xover design...


Paul,

I've seen the ribbons used in a few line arrays, and heard them in one line array, but that's the extent of my experience with them. From everything I've read the BG Neo 3 planar tweeter is a much better option. It costs a little more and is not as efficient but I think it's much better option. Also, I think you'd be better off going with something like the Dayton RS 5" drivers than the Tang Band 4". The Dayton is actually a lot closer to a 4" driver than a 5". Also, it's only a few dollars more than the TB but is a much nicer driver in my opinion.

I don't have any kind of chamber, as I do everything out of my home. I still have a lot of help with my crossover design but do have LspCAD and JustMLS and am learning to use both. As I learn to use JustMLS better I'll be taking measurements outside to eliminate the effects of the room and then import the data into LspCAD.

I wouldn't mind designing something along the lines of what you're talking about anyway so if you want to work together on something that would be great. But first I'd like to find out exactly what your needs and expectations are and we can go from there.
