How to build a baffle with countersunk drivers.

Over the last six weeks we received so many enquiries regarding the Temperance, featured in K+T 4/2006, and how to go about building the cabinet that we decided to publish the following article.

Newtronics Temperance - the cabinet / countersunk drivers

For the Temperance (no longer available), not only the original finished cabinet is available, but also the original building instruction some simpler plans with right-angled cabinet.

Additionally, we explain the building of the baffle, if you wish to mount the drivers countersunk.

A new loudspeaker magazine: ADM by Udo Wohlgemuth

ADM (Acoustic Design Magazine) is the name of a loudspeaker building magazine by Udo Wohlgemuth. The first issue was published in May 2006. The magazine is free of charge accessible over the Internet. It's really not necessary to talk about the author. For quite some time Udo Wohlgemuth has been an authority in the DIY scene and contributed a large number of kits. The first two issues of ADM alone featured 14 new kits, developed in Udo's lab (see below) and fully meeting the requirements of the customer regarding sound and price. One of the highlights of the July issue is the jack-of-all-trades Stra to, an extremely flexible loudspeaker system. Apart from the building suggestions, the illustrated building instructions that we already know from his time at K+T, are helping the novice and the the more advanced in putting their cabinets together. Easy to produce Tools, used e.g. for shaping and veneering of wood are completing the magazine's programme. ADM is spoiling all readers every odd month with a new issue. Under www.acoustic-design-magazin.de Udo Wohlgemuth offers his specialised knowledge using an easy and relaxed writing style, ensuring that nobody has to have a degree in electronic engineering or woodworking. With ADM there is no excuse any more to buy expensive finished speakers due to all fingers being thumbs.

We are complimenting Udo Wohlgemuth on his new magazine and we wish him a lot of success.

D3672-2-606, a 2 way high performance PA speaker with excellent sound

Are you aware of the high performance speaker D3300-2-606, a model that gives many of our customers a lot of pleasure? – Unfortunately this speaker also hat its drawbacks: although the selenium tweeter is quite excellent when centred perfectly, it may also only mediocre results when less well centred. That prompted us to look for a solution. The Eighteensound 12MB 606 was now equipped with a new tweeter: the Oberton D3672. The horn remained the same. The design was similar to the D3300-2-606 (old newsletter in German). However, the theory, that explains that large d'Appolito arrangements have to be designed with caution was extended by using a simulation calculator (German). Here is the result: the new D3672-2-606
