[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 58492, member: 30"] Re: Voicing/tuning a 3-way home brew speaker cab One thing you HAVE to ask yourself "Do I want the loudspeaker to be accurate or to "sound good"?" Very often these can be completely different. If you try to voice it to "sound good"-then be sure to use a WIDE RANGE of different types of music. You will hear all sorts of different production "sounds"-specifically on the low end. Which one is "right"? Hard to say. Personally I go for accuracy-letting the user "voice" it to their tastes. I try to provide as "clean" a pallett as I can upon which to "paint". You also need to look at different mic positions in different parts of the coverage patterns. You also have to consider things like "sounds neutral with a mic".. What mic? What mic position-is proximity considered? How do you know what "neutral" sounds like? Maybe it would help if you would post some of the measurements you have made-specifically showing phase-and of course amplitude. This NOT a simple process. Some designs are a bit easier than others.
