Re: New DIY Mid High


Looks like you have made a pretty serious speaker. Do you take orders ;)


One really fun thing with speakers that sounds this good is trying to guess how loud it is before you look at your SPL meter. The lack of distortion in the speaker itself removes some of your reference points, so you're constantly 6-10 dB low in your guessing until you get used to it. Going back to another speaker, you start mixing at a lower volume because it sounds "too loud".


The first time I ran into that was when I took the SH-50s I owned along with some Labsubs to a gig. It didn't feel loud at all until I tried to talk to someone and had to scream to be heard. IME: That BMS-driver on a good horn with some nice DSP-settings is the only thing I've heard that can match the sound quality of a SH-50.
