3-way design with Jamo R909 mid/high; R907 bass

[muskel]

Hello everyone

I wish to build a pair of loudspeakers like this:

I allready have the the drivers

2* http://www.scan-speak.dk/datasheet/pdf/d2905-970000.pdf

2* E0037-08S W15CH001

2* Jamo R907 woofers, i have the measurements for it. Crossover will be active - DCX2496 or similar.

Can i get some help with the design and CAD modelling ?

Hi muskel. These have the potential to be an attractive piece of furniture. How are you going with it so far?

 

[muskel]

Im in the process of planning right now. I have the drivers but need some input on how to further my design.

You can start by working out some enclosure sizes for the woofer and mid, and putting them in boxes. I assume the mid should go in a closed box and the woofer seems to be in a vented one. The external dimensions are on the site you linked to. Try not to incorporate bumps or steps across your baffle, e.g. flush mount your drivers (particularly tweeters), and round the cabinet edges where possible.

Do you have plans to measure them once you have them in boxes?

This is how far i got in Bassbox Pro 6:

I cant seem to figure out the box dimensions.

Should i perhaps port both the mid and woofer ?

I have the speakers built now and would like to use something like a MiniDSP for the crossover. The thread about the electronics is here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/digital-line-level/218417-digital-crossover-3-way-speakers-3.html
Later i will post pics of a working system in here.

Just use minidsp! If you want to make it easy, buy 4x10Hd and the plugin. If you want a distributed system, then 2x4 modules or boxed and plugin. You will also need UMIK-1 and REW or some other analyzing system (or a friend with those) to set up the system.

I want the 4x10Hd, been looking at that for some time. What is the better option for a microphone ? The UMIK-1 has a built in ADC but i could also get an external device so the microphone preamp and ADC are separate from the microphone.
Behringer: U-PHORIA UMC204

Hi, U-Phoria looks like a gem! But if you are thinking of using it as DAc, it doesn-t have optical or coaxial in. Alas, preferably find a mic that comes with calibration file!
