18Hz Subwoofer | 3000 € | 2x ScanSpeak 32W4878T00 | Cinematic Loudspeaker Build
Hi Guys, in this video, I'm building an impulse-compensated subwoofer for the student club (TIK) in Freiburg. I used the very best ScanSpeak driver for this, the 32W4878T00 and the Hypex Fusion Amp FA502 (2*500 Watt).
The Sub goes as low as 18Hz (-3dB) and through this improves the overall sound experience of the PA system. This makes a perfect combination of punchy and dynamic upper bass and absolute low end of the highest quality.

Building a DIY concrete speaker | Cinematic build video
Переглядів 8 тис.3 роки тому
My plan was to build a high-end reference speaker cabinet. The only problem we had was the concrete mixture. The concrete didn't bind properly for over two weeks. The first cabinet we got out of the mold completely broke because of that. The second cabinet has major cracks, which cause instabilities. I will build this speaker with MDF and start a smaller concrete Project the next time. Thanks f...
Midas | Cinematic DIY Speaker Build | Wavecor

Midas is a floor standing loudspeaker with Wavecor drivers. The bass and midrange are handled by two excellent 18 cm (WF182BD04) chassis with lightweight air-dried paper cones. Despite its size, this driver offers a wonderful midrange resolution. The 30 mm dome TW030WA11 is the best. A waveguide relieves the tweeter at lower frequencies, which allows very low cut off frequencies of around 1-1,5...

    Hi David, how do you like these compared to the Wavecor SW275? The Wavecor are smaller diameter of course, but have low loss surrounds and a more linear suspension.

    • @hififriend4512
      @hififriend4512 7 днів тому

      The SW275BD01 is about 3-4dB quieter and needs less cabinet volume (for 2x woofers 180 vs 270) and reach further down. But still performs extremely well. Concerning sound quality there isn’t a huge difference. But I can promise you that two SW275 is more than enough for most situations and two 32W are rather to much for most normal sized rooms. Talking about ported designs of course. I would probably recommend the Wavecor to most people because of the smaller enclosure. Keep in mind that the ports need quite a bit diameter (and therefore are very long) so you don’t get portnoise at max volume.

    hey man, i really like concrete speakers if you can afford the weight (i tend to move speakers around the house so weight for me is a no go), my cousin has a pre molded concrete factory, he says you could make 6 panels with a mesh inside and then assemble it like a wood speaker would be assembled (i'll add that you should use bracing, being concrete doesn't mean that it wouldn't resonate), i'll suscribe because i'm curious to see what project you do next.

I like the looks of the SPX-32M with the wooden phase plug. Maybe a small and simple Fullrange or two way bookshelf speaker. I'm also interested in the SPH-174KE with the yellow Kevlar cone.

    To prevent breakage, especially in large and relatively thin slabs, it is better to add a fiberglass mesh in the space to be filled with concrete, as a reinforcement.

    • @hififriend4512
      @hififriend4512 2 роки тому

      Thank you :) I've only used the smaller glass fibers. A major problem was that it took 2 weeks for the concrete to harden. When we removed it, it was still not hard enough in some places. And then the cracks formed. The next time I will build a bookshelf speaker and try out the fiber glass mesh.

      I'm no expert and haven't tried this myself, however my brother-in-law is a civil engineer who specialises in concrete corrosion (mainly bridges) and tells me one of the main factors that allows water into industrial concrete in the first place is the contractor has added more water to the mix than specified in order to make it easier to work with at the construction stage. Apparently concrete setting is a chemical reaction rather than the water 'drying out' and for optimal results requires an exact ratio of cement/ballast to water. I couldn't help but wonder whether your mix may have been too wet? I hope you don't give up, you showed great attention to detail constructing the mould, good luck in the future.

    • @drutt1985
      @drutt1985 2 роки тому

      I read on a forum (can't remember wich) to use plaster reinforced with somekind of fiber instead of concrete altogether. It doesent crack the same way concrete can do. Concrete speakers seem like a good idea, but it's heavy, and highly impractical to work with. I have seen beautiful concrete horn speakers tho maynly horns for mid and high frequency drivers. All materials have they pros and cons tho.

      @hififriend4512 2 роки тому

      @@PKWeaver74 thank you for your comment. Next time I will probably try to build a bookshelf speaker, if something goes wrong it wouldn't be as bad😅. We also added a fluid which lowers the waters surface tension an therefore the concrete gets more liquid and easier to work with. It also reduces the amount of water you need, so maybe that's true what you're saying. Another problem might be, that it was very cold at that time of the year (we still had snow) and I left it to rest in the garage. Anyway thanks a lot for your help.
