Re: Open Baffle Planar servo sub speaker project

All 16 amp modules are now wired to the Neo10 drivers.

Wiring layout designed to catch those pesky mp3 listeners and hold them down while listening to HiRez music. :D

Next is to connect the balanced XLR cables from the dspMusik to amp modules and start the testing.

All XLR balanced connections from digital crossover to amp modules are complete.

Tomorrow is power up, measurements and Room EQ.

The Megaliths live! Now on to the measurements.

Had my friends Avoosl and Charlie over for beer brats, beer and help with the wiring and connection of the speaker. Lots more to do, but stage one is complete with a vengeance! :thumb:

Did measurements last night and built a new crossover design. The new measurements look better, so will check the second channel and give it a listen.

The Reference Recordings Saint-Seans Symphony #3 HR-136 should be a fine start. :)

Just ran MathAudio Room EQ on the latest version crossover on The Megaliths :shock: . This is a whole different league from any box loudspeaker and most electrostats and planars I have heard. The digital crossover driving the amps directly to each driver is as clean as any setup I have heard and when the servo subs kick in it is amazingly extended and tight.

Now if I only had some planar tweeters! :music-listening:
