Hi All,
Thought of sharing my latest DIY project with you all.
This project is a fast prototype of a transmission line speaker design.
It all started as I was "In between" speakers and wanted to have a stop gap arrangement to listen to music while I was deciding upon my next speaker upgrade.
Being a hardcore DIY'er, a speaker project was inevitable.
I was interested in the transmission line or T-Line speaker design and always wanted to give it a try. With the huge discounts sale going on at Parts Express, I found it hard to stop myself from jumping into this project.
This project uses the HiWave BMR12 2inch fullrange driver and a Tang Band 2 inch subwoofer. The enclosure was made by thin basswood planks of size 3"x24" (BxH) from Joanne. I didn't used MDF simply due to the fact that I don't have necessary power tools and expertise to cut the thick MDF boards. This whole project was finished using just a hand saw.
I lined the interior of the enclosure using polyfill layers and assembled the pieces together.
To increase the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor), I used vinyl laminates to give them a decent look.
Once I listened to the sound, I was amazed by the openness of the sound as well as the bass frequencies generated by these tiny speakers.
The fs on the subwoofer specs says 90Hz but I think the T-Line enclosure is able to extract upto 70Hz of usable frequency.
Both the drivers are being driven fullrange with no crossovers.
This project has given me enough motivation to try out a bigger model of transmission line speaker using 6.5 inch Fostex driver.

PS: On a side note, can anyone guide me how to embed YouTube videos in HFV?
