"What audio equipment you play these through": a small opening in my phone's bottom filled with dust...
He's alive!!!!
@@HexiBase 😂
Me trying to buy components from parts-express after a Hexibase video: "Curse my metal body, I wasn't fast enough!"
@@HexiBase yeah, that driver has "expected stock 9/19" 😄
Listening to your stuff on a pair of JBL LSR 305s, driven by a Motu M2 interface running at 48,000 kHz. Looking to acoustically treat my room with some actual, professionally made, bass traps, and I've got them spaced and dialed incredibly well for living in the average room with hard floors and 11x12 dimensions. Also, my trick for the day is that my bed serves as a bass trap along most of one of the walls, and hard floors and ceilings actually do a great job of making a small space sound even, if a bit live. All of the things I've got help break up any slapback, so all I really need is some traps to control bass, then to add small amounts of absorption to simply ensure the room isn't too live.
I currently live in a space that, for the money, has been the single best listening experience of any place I lived in.
Fantastic video man, I just built the TB 3'' Sub enclosure you designed. I listen to your videos on a Scarlet 2i2 with a Mackie CR8S splitting to my Personus Eris 3.5 running balanced through a Mackie Big Knob to control my volume and run to my headphone on my LOXJIE P20 Full Balance Tube Amplifier when I want to hear it through the Sennheiser HD 280 PROs. Love your videos keep them coming.
@@HexiBase it sounds good there is some port noise when I turn it up but other than that it sounds great. I am building some satellite speakers now to go with it so soon I’ll have a 2.1 system 3D printed.
Listening on my Blessing 2 Dusks. Your stuff is wild, but the craziest speakers go in the ear now.
@@HexiBase The molds for the Blessing 2's are all 3D printed resin. You kinda could? Theoretically the same kinds of math that goes into horns and high order acoustic chambers works for the dynamic drivers used as subwoofers in IEMs. They even sell a variety of dynamic and balanced armature drivers on various DIY websites now. Alas, even being a DIY'er myself, I couldn't contemplate doing a project so small and complicated. Even with all your tools, it would be tough to get done.
Since you asked what audio equipment we are using. Onboard audio from my Asus x399, to a Denon 3803 (yeah, it's old... But still sounds great) driving DefTech BP7001SCs in the front, Deftech BP2000s in the rear (soon to be replaced with BP7000SCs), and a C/L/R 3000 center. All in a room that's about 14'x14'. It's a little overkill, but it's fun.
next time you can design some holes on the plates so you can add some wood rods or simple skewers as guides to glue them together. This will result on much better alignment to the pieces.
Great job BTW.
@@HexiBase just a little salt helps to avoid the shifts between wood plates when gluing them together. Some guitar building videos show that technic
Woop woop....he is alive indeed!!!
Currently, I'm running some 6" Yamaha full range drivers in an open baffle enclosure with a 1" Yamaha dome tweeter and a 2" vintage Technics tweeter. The crossover is made using film compositors from Germany. The amp is a Technics SU-Z960 that I just refurbished a few weeks ago. The entire system is made to run 120 watts rms. The frequency response is 5-30000 hrtz. Its nice to see the channel is alive!
listening through my DynAudio Audience 72s, running through Xone 96, and Crown XLS 2502 Amp.
I really hope you are wearing laser safety glasses with that robotic retina fryer.
listening through my 2500 watt custom built home theatre surround sound system! very nice job!
"Try doing that with a router."
His drill : "am i joke to you"?
I think he meant the "plug" from the hole, not the hole itself. Can you think of ANY tool that can cut out a ~2mm diameter perfectly round dowel from 1/4" plywood? I think that's his point.
@@SuperDavidEF Thanks Dave, for a second there it seemed like people were simply enjoying the joke without a real understanding of the video. You're doing God's work, son.
@@Pigeoning Sorry. I'm one of the truly weird people in the world. Jokes aren't funny at all to me unless they make sense. Your joke makes no sense. Have a nice day.
@@SuperDavidEF You've spent too much time on the internet, Dave. Not only are you a sad little hall monitor policing UA-cam comments you think you're funny.
This is a devastatingly bad combo for you.
A good long look in the mirror along with some earnest soul searching may do you some good. Or you can continue doing this, which is sad.
In any case me getting you to read all this as if I give a flying fuck is how it's done. There's nothing worse than a lame troll, Dave.
@@Pigeoning Heh. Glad I could help you feel better.
Because "F" Scissors ....... That need's to be your new Merch line. I would buy it.
...7:47 - Is the only important qualifying statement encouraging anyone to buy a laser for cutting.. I whole heartedly agree =)
This video is amazing. I've been dreaming about exactly this kind of build for at least 5 years now. So cool to see you bring one to life. I'd be very curious to see a slightly larger, full-range, single-driver purpose-built studio monitor with more low-end extension. I'd buy the plans for that. I don't care about sub bass or top end extension as long as the stuff in between is authentically represented.
Nice!!! Impressive as always. I bought your Earfun product bluetooth speaker, and man my wife was blown away and its impressive up against other speakers of its size!
I've read a few books on speaker design, thinking I have the bases of making something basic. But every time I watch one of your videos, I learn something new. Like controlling the X-Max in such a way to keep it bottoming out so you can push it farther.
FYI, the pre-cut sheets at HD are more than twice the cost of a full 4x8 sheet. Last week i bought a full sheet of 1/2" MDF for $23 and they cut it into 2x4 pieces FOR FREE... the pre-cut 2x4 sheets were $12 each
For a 2 inch driver that is impressive 😍
Super cool, thanks for sharing!
If ya put some of these DIY kits pre cut up for sale at a reasonable and affordable price I bet you would have people lining up to get em!
If you add air assist (compressor through a small nozzle - I use a 0.8mm 3D print nozzle) pointing at the cut you will get a much cleaner cut. Also, it is better to support the material off your baseboard. This will stop getting burn marks spreading from the cut on the back.
@@HexiBase I set the compressor to about 30PSI and have the nozzle about 15mm from the cut. It blows the burnt material out of the cut and you will find you also need fewer passes
Awesome unit. Also space balls is my favorite movie
Wow that sounded amazing! Full- bodied warm and punchy like you stated.
I was thinking after watching the 3d printed bass tube and this video, that you may be the first person to understand and replicate the Bayz speaker layout. Love your thought process, explanation and determination here. Grateful that you share your experience here
very cool build looks like a lot of fun to make these. Listening to these on some Energy Veritas Mini speakers being driven by an Cambridge sound works dtt3500 amp that i had for an very old computer speaker setup. sounds quite nice.
You asked what I play your episodes through. Currently a pair of JBL LSR308 monitors. I have a huge collection of other speakers, diy and commercially available, but right now these are my favorites for the office computer.
Thank you for the new video. You’ve been missed. You have an extraordinary amount of acoustical knowledge and Ive gained a lot of insight from you.
This kind of stuff represents a paradigm shift in small space/desktop home audio. One of your ABS 3-d printed 5.25 enclosures for the sub with two of these and you have a very capable PC setup. Amazing work, man!
Yet again, another creative and intelligent piece of content. Thank you for sharing and inspiring others 🙏
Listening through Cambridge audio amp & dac combo plus my trusty Kef ls50's paired with a svs 12" sub
i have a set of b&w 601 s2 speakers, with a cheap home theater subwoofer all ran off a sony str k790. considering it's all goodwill finds, they sound amazing.
Finally, someone doing speakers with some technical background. Very nice.
Awesome awesome! I watch your videos on my living room on by big screen. Absolutely love your work. My family thinks I'm weird watching them because you're very technical and I can't follow but I love seeing your projects and listening to outcome.
Hifiman Sundara - Schiit Hel, sounds good! Excellent video. I'm a sucker for folded horns; and the like.
"Bc F*** scissors" I died and 100% agree :D
Headphones: Philips Audio Philips SHP9500
Or
Klipsch R-15PM with a Klipsch R-10SW sub
That's quite a decent cut for only 5.5W! Listening to this on a Tempotec Sonata HD USB-C DAC with KZ ZS10 Pro (+ SpinFit eartips to compensate for sharp highs).
listening via Aiyima A07 with Dali Spektor 2’s alongside with hypex DS1.2 with a custom tline 70litres woofer enclosure tuned to 26Hz with 6.5” Logitech element. DAC is also Aliexpress special with LDAC bluetooth.
these small builds are what impress me the most. will you be doing a tower build with small full-range drivers that hit low, something similar to Cyburg Needles maybe?
the sound on your vids is so good. Keep it up
Amazing!!! Tks for the video. Greetings from Brazil.
I'm just listening trough my Vantage A-4.1's and SW-101
Listening wiht Neumann NDH 20's, through a SSL2 audio interface. Track 3 has a surprising amount of low-end.

Congratutations for best content, presentation and quality all arround !
(+ i might have some industry's wide concept for a project you might be interested in.)
Nice! I have had ideas to use a CNC to utilize found lumber such as drift wood for similar projects, and while I have used laser cutters for metal before, there's certainly no reason they can't be used on wood as well! Glad to see another video, I was wondering what became of your posts, though I certainly understand how life can get busy.
As for listening gear, at the moment, nothing special. Just the internal speakers to a 2012 13" MacBook Pro, even some cheap in ear headphones would presumably be better than their speaker output.
Fun! Good to see you back.
Dude -- so glad you're back! And really good to see that theres finally precision tool I can afford. And a very interesting little speaker too. thank you!
oh, and I'm listening through these:
mac mini --> Cyrus Pre XPD --> single mosfet amps made myself --> ancient Stax Lambdas from the 70s
Pete has all the cool gadgets.
i watched this on a work terminal with an onboard system speaker. everything sounded great from what i could tell
Sounding great on my HD 650's! Good video quality mate.
Nice. Was worried you stopped doing videos. Oh yeah, the speakers. They sound really good even with just the bass knob cranked like that. It would be interesting to see what a DSP could do.
I am not a high end audio guy so I am just listening through either a pair of HD280 or MDR-7506 headphones.
I've been looking to expand my knowledge on Lasers and I just visited Ortur's website. Thank you for the video.
Really enjoying your content, thank you for creating it. Your content sounds exceptional. My viewing equipment includes a Yamaha HTR-8063 receiver, a pair of Polk Audio RTI-8's for front left and right, 2 Polk RTI-8's as a center channel, and a pair of polk Bi/Di pole for surrounds. The centre channels are powered using a Yorkville power amp. I'm using a 12" B&W sub and have replaced the driver with a Rockford Fossgate P1. I'm using a Chromecast to stream content to the Yamaha receiver and an Acer projector as the display.
Since you asked, I am running a pair of Tritrix 36" TLs that I built the cabinets for back in high school out of home depot "birch" veneer plywood. in the past year I added a grill made out of a poplar 1x2 frame wrapped with what is basically coarse window screen. I wanted a grill that wouldn't give if you push on them since I have a dog and a clumsy wife, and I would rather prepare for the possibility than risk being mad over a damaged tweeter I could have prevented. powering the tritrix is a dayton DTA-100A. it has more power than I could possibly need, especially since i am listening at my desk with the speakers less than 4 feet from my head, but it is clean and runs cool, and most importantly for me I finally have all the sources of electrical noise in my setup quieted down, as previously I had issues with the noise floor. as long as I can't hear audible distortion and there is no audible hiss or hum, i am happy as far as amplification is concerned.
Listening on Genelec 8050 & 7040 - really impressive result considering that's on first try and before DSP
Thanks for such an informative channel.
I listen to your episodes using an Onkyo 8140 amp & custom speakers. Each speaker cabinet is 2 chamber, sealed and ported with dual 7" Dayton drivers & Morel 1 1/4" silk dome tweeters. A pair of 10" passive JBL subwoofers in custom sealed cabinets cover 100Hz -20Hz attached to B channel output.
I use this system for myown developments, critical listening and daily entertainment.
About time. I don't usually get this excited about a youtube notification
@@HexiBase just the "like" button when I slapped it
Finally we get a hexibase video please keep them coming.
you need to upgrade the laser to the 40w NEJE. youll get 3x the speed. the 40w is really 15 watt but its 40watt consumption with dual lasers focused to 1 15 watt optical power beam. cuts walnut like butter same with cedar but its quite a bit more oily of a cut.
Glad to see you're back!
That machine would be great for making templet's.
Listening on my ultimate ears boom 3 sounds great
Good to see your back
love your videos....that is an impressive little driver...good work man :)
Listening on Kali Audio LP-6 and voice over sounded spot on.
Love the videos man, keep them up! I'm playing audio through some creative 7.1 p7800 PC speakers. Only ones I've ever known about anyone ever using.
You might want to put a matt black finish on your laser bed instead of the reflective steel. Your laser will last longer. Alternately, you could buy a metal honeycomb that other laser cutters tend to use.
Will you be releasing plans for these like you did with your 3d printed enclosures? I have a cnc and would love to build this little guy.
Damn....thats some sweet sound for a small form factor. Wish I could get this design ;)
Welcome back! Great video again! Think I broke a finger stabbin the play button!
Listening on my Sennheiser HD1 earbuds.
I try to use a pair of Monoprice M1060 planar magnetics or a pair of HD600s when watching your videos. More the HD600s as I think I remember you mentioning it was what you mixed your music with and what better to listen to your audio with than what you yourself mix the recordings with. I just built a large 3d printer to do my own speaker designs on. Im no acoustic engineer, but I use SoundEasy and BoxCAD for my modeling and measurements along with a relatively cheap Dayton Audio Electret microphone. I also use a DATS V3 for my TS parameters. I am more of a large scale 3-way speaker designer and would love to see a project of that magnitude done, either fully 3d printed, or a combination of the laser engraver and 3d printing as the boxes for large drivers can get into the 3cf-4cf range.
audio is excellent.!
Would you make a video on horn enclosures, folded horns, and back-loaded horns? The Thiele-Small parameters video and the one on enclosure types was enlightening, to say the least. I would love to design a tower speaker like this at some point.
i was in awe trying to understand what he meant. scrolling tru comments, reading urs here, and i think i understand what he meant. the wave guide is tuned to the lows, so it couples with the driver, so where it woudl normally unload cause its not tuned/coupled well, here its coupled properly so it doesnt let the diaphragm max out.
only ting to worry about, is that the coil wouldnt move as much so it would have higher resistance in that range, so the heat will be more.
barevids did an explainer vid about his vehicle and his new dd9900, where he talked about port loading and how he can send gobs of power to a sub and not have it blow. ..... when the port is tuned well, the speaker doesnt have to move much to get the air to move in the port... and the measurement shows a rise in resistance at that tune.... the problem is heat at that point.
Instead of smoothing the response, consider adjusting your time gate on your measurement to reduce some reflections. This is useful if you want to see what the speaker is doing without the room response.
What would help with stacking the layers more precisely, ist to cut two index holes in each piece and use a dowl to keep the layers in an exact order.
Nice work mt friend.. idk if you've seen the new style connectors their making out of rre earth magnets it still ohm the exact same as post for your connection sorce...
Awesome video 👌
Dude your setup inspires me....
Good to see you back. I just designed my own DCAAV enclosure for a woofer and I have absolutely no clue how it's going to perform until I build it. Maybe you can shed some tips about those
How the simulation works would be cool to see for sure
Awesome video! And I play yt videos through a set of Fluance Signature bookshelf speakers and a diy powered 10" subwoofer.
Very impressive for a first time lasercutter experience! As for what I'm listening on, it's just a pair of SHP9500s on my phone's internal headphones output. Nothing special, and these headphones are due for a replacement. 3 years old and the right side's starting to cut out as presumably the cable between the two sides fails
Awesome 💯💯
A treat as always! I need to get my butt in gear and use my new CNC router to build some carbon fiber speakers! Well, I'll use the router to machine a mold for laminating carbon fiber.... (Right now the only thing I know for sure is the speakers need to be carbon fiber, because reasons.)
Love the vids from entertainment to educational! Have a Denon AVR-1713 receiver that i have connected via bluetooth to my laptop, driving a pair of Polk Rti-12's with a TruAudio SS-12 sub. Sounds decent, but def not a HiFi setup.
Quite impressive sound from a small speaker!
My gear I use to listen:
AudioQuest Dragonfly Red DAC → Rolls HR261"Sonic Exciter" → Schiit Magni 2 headphone amp → Sony MDR-Z7M2 headphones
One of these days, I'd like to buy a headphone amp/dac that uses the balanced headphone jack, but a bit expensive at the moment.
Apogee Duet -> Schiit Jotunheim -> Sennheiser HD800s (balanced XLR4). I honestly can't hear much of a difference between balanced and unbalanced. Don't tell anyone but I can hardly hear a difference between the Jotunheim and the 1/4inch out of the Duet..... Maybe my ears aren't as good as I thought
I see you ended up boosting the top end as well, but damn was it worth it. Astounding range for being a single driver -- I've heard two-way speakers that couldn't do that. Aside from some ~120 Hz mud (which might just be my headphones), I like the far field sound best. It carries really well without being too punchy or too sharp. 👍 I'm listening through a pair of Sony MDR-V600 headphones (which I pulled the foam out of the drivers' magnets), using a Sony surround receiver as a TOSLINK-driven headphone amp.
waitin for driver excursion explanation about impedance and fs, and breflex vs sealed.
thanks!!
Most of these diode lasers will cut thin ply, you just need to get the focus and settings right, but there are some quite powerful laser modules coming out now, biggest issue is you need good ventilation to use them :)
You made your own Bose wave!
I would really like to see what you could do when combining the laser with printing.
I listen on ik Multimedia iLoud MTM, Philips SHP9500, Sennheiser HD 280 Pro (latest revision), ATH-M40x, in that order of priority.
Modular 3D printed Soundbar: Ever considered a build like that? Would love to see what you came up with! Good to see you back and you're sounding great on my Wireless Corsair HS70's :)
@@HexiBase Creality CR30! That would make for a good "review" video for the printer I think. Showing off the belt by printing a soundbar
@@HexiBase I have a Creality Ender 3 (build volume of 220 x 220 x 250) and was thinking modular in the sense of individual speaker enclosures that could be printed then stacked together; Tweets (T), Mids (M) and Bass (B) modules that could be mixed and matched e.g. M/T/M/B\M\T\M; The wider the TV the more individual modules could be joined up: 32" TV = 7 sections, 58" TV = 10 sections!
Sounds better far field for me. Its richer and fuller. Close up its more dense.
I’ve always wondered how you calculate the theoretical response of the enclosure, is there some kind of software that uses a CAD model?
id like to see some sort of multi material with a frequency of give that creates a special kind of feedback.
Any channel that references Spaceballs gets my vote!
Your videos are awesome. See if you can make a cheap 3d printed speaker on par with a widely known expensive brand.
Never clicked on a video so fast in my life.
Impressive sound from such a small speaker, Beats Solo 3 or JBL ANC 460 is the headphones I use to listen to the demos. Have you played with the LONGER 10w laser cutter?
I can't be the only one that thinks Dayton doesn't get nearly enough recognition for exceptionally priced drivers. listening on skull candy ink'd ear buds 😔
Hola lo felicito por los vídeos. Me gusta mucho lo que hace, un abrazó de Argentina .
Honestly tho, Dayton is absolutely awesome. I've got a reference 15 and that thing kicks absolute ass
Agree, sad it's a pain to get them in russia.
A Dayton's sub came on top of a lot of other subs i was selecting for an enclosure i had. Works good, very power-efficient... tinsel wires are a bit short, that concerns me, but so far so good.
