Chopping board finger cut outs should be at the bottom

Good point, there are a few marks and pencil lines on the other side, it was going to be the basis of a DIY TT.

Finger cut outs ? You mean "accessory holders" You can have your carbon fibre brush in one side and... I dunno, something else in the other

Interesting, but which is the 'proper' configuration?

And how does it all sound?

Interesting, but which is the 'proper' configuration?

Ah, I think I may have missed out the post with the main designs, this will be a modular system:

There will be two main configurations:

V1 - 2 way using a Volt BM251.3 Mid-Bass (<800Hz) and Radian 850pb compression drivers in a 400Hz Stereolab Tractrix horn (>800Hz)

V2 - 2.5 way using the Volt BM251.3 Mid-Bass (<300Hz) and the Veravox 5S wide range driver (300Hz-~8kHz) with a Fountek JP2 ribbon (passive >8kHz) on top.


I have only started to have a play late this evening with the V1 so far. Interesting.

Its mainly going by ear at the moment as I am waiting for the microphone to arrive.

Behringer?

Its the MiniDSP UMIK.

The V1 configuration is sounding very promising now on a second try, compared to a quick play with the V2.
