Re: Small install spkrs with narrow coverage

Looks like someone beat me to it. I know nothing about Meyer stuff.

A 4 inch comp driver.


I think a full range single or coax driver in a hunk of PVC to act as a wave guide into anything, a trash can lid, sat dish to a saucer sled will be enough for a test.


Small at 18" by 3" for the dish with a coffee can about 6-8 inches out in front. The nice thing about the SAT dish is that the feed horn area is out of the way of the pattern of the reflector.


Thanks to Ivan remembering the SB-1 we all know it works and works well enough for Meyer to make and sell them.

Don't be afraid to try something, it is how most inventions are made; inspiration and perspiration outweigh calculation every time.


So Ivan, if a 5 inch coax gets strange into a parabolic reflector but it sums just right into a paraline lens with no cancelations what so ever, not to mention all the ping ponging of the sound wave through that oval gap back to that slit in perfect time/amplitude power response, from 2 very different drivers - Hum, I wonder what is going on there?


Thanks for the backup info Art.
