In Reply to: Horn novice question: Transparency and compression drivers? posted by Dan_ed on August 6, 2007 at 09:07:30:
If the midbass and midrange drivers are out of phase, the null at 500Hz is very deep and wide. Try borrowing an octave band hand held spectrum analyzer and measuring the system. Even with an octave band analyzer, the null will show up easily. You can try reversing the midbass polarity and see if the sound is fuller. The fuller sound quality indicates that the null is not present. Even though an octave band or a 1/3 octave analyzer may be expensive, they are a great help with sorting out problems.

- Yes, and positive voltage on black gives 2441 forward motion. (nt) - Tim Moorman 19:33:31 08/07/07 (0)
