      @@cassiellightman Mr Lightman, I live in South Africa.I believe the person who posted this lives in SA too. EBay is not an option here. The only products we have here are those cheap plastic speakers or the very expensive ones. There is nothing like this on the market. I cannot buy the tools and build myself because i dont have the space nor the tools to have a workshop. I am speaking based on my own circumstances. I don't understand why you would pass such scathing judgement on me to call me extremely lazy. I don't know how you were raised but please show some respect and decency.

      @SoundBlab  8 років тому +3

      Good observation. The port is somewhat of a compromise to allow a reasonable enclosure volume. When driven to very high volumes it will make a noise, but at normal listening levels, which I am intending this to be mostly used at it works fine.

    • @PA5cAl1

    Love this design. I have one question though: have you tried routing the AC mains through the foot? would make it even cleaner looking if the connector was inside the aluminium block. Shouldn't be impossible if you use a 90 degree female connector (like this: images.monoprice.com/productlargeimages/76833.jpg) on the lead that lays flush with the table.

  • @nukularpictures
    @nukularpictures 8 років тому +2

    One suggestion. Since you are selling those plans, how about you messure the frequency response of the speakers. The 44 Hz - 20000 Hz (-3dB) doesnt really give out any information. Knowing the frs 8 i can say that especially the high frequencies are not that clean and since its a broadband speaker the directionality wont be that nice either.
    Also it would be nice if you could record the speakers a bit louder. I would guess that the port would give you some noises.
    I really like the design but i would like to know the sound of the speakers before i would start to build them.

      Check out the sound test clip of this build here ua-cam.com/video/p_GI_dw41wI/v-deo.html
      I will do a FQ response soon when I get some time and upload to my website. The port does produce some noise when pushed to the limits, but it was intentional to achieve an ideal enough enclosure size, not too big. The design of this speaker was really to make something that will produce good sound at moderate listening levels. Not really a party boombox, and by the time you pump up the volume too far, the full range drivers will start to scream a bit, but that is mostly due to the bluetooth limitations of the amplifier.

      It is the wires from the 3.5mm input jack. The amp provides option of bluetooth or input via the jack.

      Hi Alexander. Sorry the site is on a very slow server and I am in the process of moving it to another server that will be faster. But I see that you did manage to get the plan in the end. Thanks for the support!
