Hold on, I'm coming

I'm sure those Open Baffle speakers will sound great... but isn't that taking 'ROOM TREATMENT' a little too far???

 

[DualTriode]

Sounds like fun. I put my name in the hat.

Does the crossover have any kind of equalization going on for the open baffle.

Thanks DT

You can use B5 or ACN with proper choice of components:

Sounds like a crossover is included in the kit.

My equalization question is about the included crossover.

Thanks DT

I’m quite sure an equalized crossover is included. But more confirmation is appreciated

 

[Variac]

The kit includes a biamped active crossover, which includes equalization. This means you need 2 amp channels per speaker baffle for a total of four.

 

[DualTriode]

Okay got it.
Thanks

All paid up and looking forward to Speaker Camp. See all you folks at Casa Brock in the heart of Sonoma County. It will be a great gathering!

Congratulations to all the lotto winners! This is an incredibly great deal!!! It'll be a fun experience.

 

[N Brock]

Turns out no need for a lottery, we had enough kits, so everyone who wanted a spot got one 😁

 

[TungstenAudio]

Looking forward to this!
Will be making a long drive down from the Seattle area to attend.

Hello,

I put my name in the hat. I did not hear back.
Where do I pay?

Thanks DT

 

[DualTriode]

Hello,
I was mistaken about the email that I used.
Now paid.
Thanks DT

Please do not forget us in Europe who cannot come to USA. For instance a kit without speakers could be very welcome for us. It is the project I was waiting for!

If you’re interested, - you gotta go! I built these more than 10 years ago and listen to them every day. It took me awhile to figure out the crossover configuration, it was a real learning experience that I learned also to enjoy, trial and error with an ever growing pile of caps and coils and then dialing in the biamp 6-24 crossover. I still play the the balance, tuning them and learning to listen. Do all this with a group of like minded people including a few masters is great opportunity. Oh, and they are really great sounding too

 

[ranshdow]

It would be fun to go just to hear these.

Not to mention that hanging out in the Northern California wine countryside can be very pleasant. For those traveling to the event I recommend a wine expedition in addition to the Camp. There are lots of small hotels and lots of winery tasting rooms, restaurants, and much lovely scenery in the area. Enough that you can bring your significant other, who will enjoy it so much they won’t complain that you spent a day building speakers. Do some research online..

Honestly, hanging out at Dana’s lovely land, house and porch for that day while watching others work on speakers would be very relaxing.

 

[peppennino]

Any chance to see Summer Camp ladies and guys at work from Zoom? it would be very relaxing too!

 

[Variac]

We’ll see what Tom says, as he figured it all out for Burning Amp. Takes time and a bit of money
At a minimum, I can upload photos to this thread, which I think would give a very good idea of the setting and event. I’m “retired” and living in Costa Rica, but will be on site helping for Speaker Camp. Can’t stay away!

The crossover is similar looking to the one posted above, a stuffed pcb with connectors and stand-offs, but it is a bit simpler, more dedicated to this project. It raises the question about assembly preferences - I can supply it stuffed and tested, or as a kit.
