Karlson-coupler aspect - what might be juggled for aspect & performance?

Posted by freddyi (A) on March 3, 2007 at 11:07:55

this 42" tall coupler imo was a good performer dynamically speaking with high output capibility with low cone excursion and no visable offset effects. (there's ~no midrange gain vs direct radiator so getting giddy with coupler might not be good)

what doesn't seem to be known is how far down the apparent front pipe's cross-section can be pulled vs Sd and whether front tuning can be lumped and examined by looking at the 3rd Z peak. (a 32" high box with 8CF bulk and no front shelf had 3rd Z peak @195Hz vs K15 @~155Hz)

what are practical front chamber aspect, bulk constraints and tuning ratios for effective couplers?

how might one put Poppe's paper to useful work?

front view 18K (~12% larger in bulk than K15)

input Z with vent set to side gapped position
