Progress catch-up on a pair of mid bass horns I'm making.
They will be used in a 4/5 way full spectrum horn system.
18mm premium birch plywood.
1.2m long. Exponential horn flare.
Frequency usage 100Hz to 400Hz.
Eminence Kappa 12A 12" bass drivers.
Driver chamber and bracing to do.
These will fine articulate, fast and tuneful mid bass.

As part of the ebony equipment bases project, I was also commissioned to make 8 of 3" x 3" x 1" and 8 of 2" x 2" x 1" ebony blocks.
These will go under various pieces of equipment.
Here they are rough sawn.

Here are the 3" blocks accurately sized and coarse finished.

The mid bass horn speakers all finished. Palleted and ready to ship to Sunderland.
Rectangular mouths, circa 60cm X 48cm at widest and over 1.2m long.
Computer modelled in Hornresp first.
Going to used around 95Hz to 400Hz
Made from 6mm void free birch plywood sheets, laminated in several layers to be exponentially flared / curved.
Backboxes from 21mm birch plywood.
12" Eminence bass driver gives excellent detail / punch in this frequency range and is ideally suited to front horn loading.

A new pair of my premium birch plywood cabinets are underway.
These are computer modelled to have the same back loaded horn characteristics as the regular rectangular GRFs.
These are taller and deeper to achieve the same volume and horn path, but with a more room friendly footprint.
100% 21mm premium birch plywood is used throughout. Featuring tear drop baffles and cloth blacked needled wood felt damping.
The first cabinet is nearing completion. Plinths, drivers etc to go.
These will have separate birch plywood boxes for the crossovers.
Always very nice to work with premium birch plywood.

The ebony platforms & supports, copper & ebony armboards and aluminium & ebony motor mount made it to Hong Kong in great time, thanks Transglobal Express.
All mounted up on the customers amazing turntable.
Here's some early feedback
"Hi Steve
Everything arrived safely. Installed one copper/ebony armboard and some of the ebony footers on JC Verdier. Oh wow - more smoother, luscious music; better extended, deeper bass
Thanks again

Fun project.
The Cabinets I made for a pair of Tannoy HPD drivers could finally be collected after the lockdown easing.
The drivers were dropped off to me and I installed them during the day for afternoon collection.
The aftermarket crossovers are external hence dedicated boxes.
Nice components in the crossovers.
We also used high quality Janzen integral cable and gold plated Tannoy 4 pin plugs.
These are built using the Scandinavian birch plywood throughout and designed to be taller and narrower than the original Tannoy GRFs.
Modelled you have the same tuned backloaded horn path.
These also feature the bass cleaning up Tear drop baffle in the throat of the horn section.
Finished in English light oak.
The customer (a Dolby surround sound engineer) had the drivers in original chipboard Tannoy Berkeley cabinets.
Needless to say the cabinet material, construction and backloaded horn bass make these a very much improved Hi-fi experience.

He also has another very nice deck with a Kuzma on, so comparisons will be possible.
I've been giving birth to more copper cube / ebony Platine Verdier type arm mounts.
This time 3 armboards in ebony and 2 cast copper cubes.
The customer in Hawaii didn't want the visible copper sides too bright.
So I came up with a black powder partial dusting that is then clear acrylic finished.
