Nice!! Great job! Love the process, LOVE the way you splaind the things. Greetings from Spain!
Thanks Felipe!! Cheers. I love Barcelona!
Just found your channel thanks to the all mighty algorithm and I love it. I binged watched them all and can't wait for more. Great editing, great content, great personalty and upbeat music. Your designs are fresh and very clean you do good work my friend. Only thing I would say is when it comes to inductors you should always try to keep them as far apart as possible, which you did, but you should also place one vertically and one horizontally. Inductors give off a magnetic field and if they are both laying horizontally then the megetic fields will interfere with each other and will show up as feedback in the audio path. If you place them 90 degrees to each other that loweres the chance of interference.
That’s right! Good call. Thanks for the input Eddie.
I've seen people use the bottom of their garden as an anechoic chamber substitute. If you are away from buildings and dont have street noise this should work!?
Dense foliage also helps absorb sound.
New to the channel. It’s a great approach to DIY speakers, fun, life….:)
Thanks a lot Cody! I appreciate your input.
20:15 Showing the filter made by direct twisted connections. This sounds the best! 😮 Better than soldered, and better than (soldered or unsolcered) iinterconnecting wires between the components. I tried all 4 alternatives and what is pictured here wins (hands down)! Most detail, most naked sound, raw detail from the instruments themselves (revealed by direct comparisons). I build speakers. 😅
That’s great input!! Thanks a lot my friend. I remember those viNyah’s pioneer amps from the 70’s, all just twisted wiring. Good stuff
You might find that using XSim - which is a free crossover / filter program - is easier, because you can see the change in the response curve visually on the screen. You get to try all the values in the program, and then buy the parts.
I like the external filter box - featuring the parts that are usually hidden is great.
Thanks Neil!!
Absolutely another very good vid, nice balance between practical & technical, and love you keep it real, nice work
Thanks!! I appreciate it!
Awesome work! So much more than just a boring 'how to' tutorial and much more than just a sleek build log video. In fact this might be the best video I've seen on how to build and test a crossover (... I mean filter) and working with a single full range driver makes it much more approachable and takes a lot of intimidation factor out of it.
Another good idea for a video would be to calculate the response from the baffle and then test and measure in the real world before you do the build and make the filters, unless you did that in part 1 (I'm actually watching this out of order).
Also perhaps a video on how to layout and build a crossover / filter from an electrical diagram for those that haven't done so.
Thanks Phillip. I did some measurements without any filters before. I’ll keep posting more info. Thanks for the input.
Really enjoying watching your videos! The filter boards look great👍👍
Thanks for your input Derek!!
Damn bro, I am learning so much. Thanks, I bought a pair of “ fast 8” from Lii audio, just need to build enclosures.
Cool. I really liked the look of those Lii drivers. Wanna test them sometime. I’ve seen some large enclosures with those.
@@sonnoradesign give me your address I'll package them up and send them to you but you test them out and see what you can do with them.
It would be my contribution to the site. As I love everything you're doing.
@@divadgnol67 whaaaaat???! That’s so cool man! I really appreciate it. Let’s make the best monster box ever!!
@@divadgnol67 I can’t find you email to send the address… it’s not easy anymore to send a PM on TH-cam hehe
Awesomely obtuse video dude. Enjoying the content, keep it coming! Hi from Australia.
What’s up Mate!! Thanks a lot for watching the videos from the “future”. Cheers.
@@sonnoradesign the future is an exciting place, i hope to get there one day. If i do, see you there!
I have rebuilt crossovers with high end parts, experimented with caps… You need to give Bypass caps a try. I have used Myflex KPCU 0.1uf copper caps and worked great. But I even tried some Dayton Audio bypass caps and they worked fine too
Thanks Paul. Good to know man! Let’s try those next time?!!
@@sonnoradesign Slap them in your next parts order, really easy to add them to this crossover whenever.
Tall Paull Not to long ago I sold a pair of 100uf Jantzen caps to a Tall Paul on ebay. What are the chances of this being you?
@@bogie1971 Not me, I think there are quite a few Tall Paul’s out there for some reason. I know 4 others myself !?!
Another awesome video! I'd love to see an open baffle build with Lii drivers...I have heard good things about them.
I bought these speakers about a year ago and have been running them in anopen baffle design. You definitely need to add a subwoofer or put them in a ported Enclosure.
I’ve heard that too. And I think they are good looking as well. Wanna try it for sure.
Registers or Resistors. Thinks change in 10 years away from Electronics Industry. Art Bolanos Houston, Texas. I still love your channel. Keep going Bernado
Hey Arturo! Thanks my friend!!!
Great Stuff! Very Helpful!!!
Thanks Donnie!
at 8500 hz the resistance is around 13 Ohm, measure it to now for sure it helps with filter disign "it's not linear".
Thanks so much for the video... Really enjoyed watching your process .. also thanks for including your resources..
Thanks a lot!!! Cheers!
Very Good my friend, Good Job 🤝
Very fun you done here 😅
Amazing job 👍🏻
Thanks for watching!! Glad you liked it
Sou brasileiro e engenheiro elétrico-eletronico e sou fã do seu trabalho que admiro bastante.
Ola Cerato. Obrigado. Também sou do Brasil. Bom saber que você curte. Você trabalha com alto falantes também?
really loooooking gooood
Thanks My friend!!
This guy is immensely likeable. He portrays himself as a clown but in reality has an in-depth knowledge of Hifi builds and components that many of us can only dream of.
I need to know; is that accent real?
Hah! Thanks for the clown part Gary! Keep watching man. New designs coming soon.
sehr sauber,ich glaube das sind jensen spulen .
Yeah! Some Jensen some Dayton.
Hi, very great job. I love all the things you have made. Please can you share sw you are using for speaker measurement.?
Hey Jaroslav. I’m using REW. It’s great.
The dayton Omnimic V2 has an option to remove room resonance basically the software can remove peaks and dips caused by rooms simulating anechoic chamber. I have measured some drivers and it matched the manufacturer measurement's perfectly. Also the Omnimic V2 is easy to set up and use. So how do you like the Mark audio drivers ?
Thanks for the input. I should give it a try for sure. The Mark audios sound really nice, they need some time to break in and it gets better and better. I love it. Clear and defined audio.
Very impressive, like a lot.
Thanks Nicholas.
What is the schematics and the values used on this filters?
I need to see these so I can paint by numbers as I am new to all this.
Sorry for the delay.
Mid Frequency - 33 uF + 1.5 mH + 7 R
High Frequency - 2.7 uF + 0.10 mH + 15 R
All in parallel
Let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching!
Tahnks Leo. Hope that helps.
@@sonnoradesign Now that`s what i call service,thanks for all you are doing and especially that you provide fixes and give details for any parts needed.Kind regards.
@@leojack987 sure man. Let’s make it sound goooood!!!
i cant find the hifi audio design websight
Nice speakers! I love the quality of your videos. You could use Xsim to simulate your crossover it's easy, fast and will speed up the design process.
Would you be so kind as to post a link? I'm just getting into speaker building..
That’s right!! I’ll be using Xsim soon.
Thanks guys!! Try xsim download on google.
I’ll post the links soon on the video description.
Wooooooohooooooo 🎉🎉🎉
Wow love the crossovers need them for my speakers. Hi I need some of your help as I am owning a pair of focal chorus 726 At the normal volumes , sounds good but not great . If I turn the volume up they sounds like a s--t . I am using them with maranta pm8005 . If you can help me to do some modification in the original crossovers or something to make the mid bit heavier and softer
Hello Kay! Thanks for watching! I’d need the speakers to measure them and work on the crossovers. I don’t have an upgrade for the crossovers right now. You can try diy audio forum and look for focal crossover upgrades. There are some from GR Research for other models. Stay tuned.
You are asking for too much from the speaker when it is used in the full range mode.
Thats right! but they deliver it!
Super classe
Merci!!!
So strange , when I wrote down your original specs I accidently reversed the resistors thus making it correct , as you made a mistake so did I. A glitch in the matrix .
Haha right! I reversed it. I’m glad it worked.
since you have a nice mic you should try vituixcad or Xsim.
I’ll be working on Xsim on the next project! That’s a good one for sure! Thanks.
I would really wish you can tune and show tang band 1808 fullrange 8”
I am driving it in a 30ltrs box sealed.
But I am no expert in tuning
I like those drivers. we can work on it again hehe $$
Is there a part 3 if not can we have a part 3 please 😀.
Hey Matthew. What would you suggest for part 3? Thanks for watching
Salut le chef de la classe sur tout ,une question : a quel tension je dois choisir des condensateurs sur des filtre passif,250v,400,0u?
Sorry about the delay Gilbert. I’m using 400V for the 33uF and 250V for the 2.7uF. Thanks for watching!
I need a video on the truck. 🤗
Right!! I’ll have to post it later cause I still have to edit.
@@sonnoradesign YES!!!
great vid. do you have a video that focuses on BSC? i like your style and approach.
I don’t have a BSC video as now, just this one. I’ll keep posting though. In the near future?! Thanks for the input.
@@sonnoradesign well ill keep watching then.
another project idea could be to build a cabinet similar to KEF LS50 using the same Mark Audio driver (or similar). Building that front baffle would be a challenge, do you accept? this msg will self destruct in 1 month ;)
Hahaha! I love the KEF LS50. Such a beautiful design. I’d love to do that!! Before it’s too late!!
Dc resistance of that driver is 7.2 ohm, not 8
Ops!! Thanks
Your designs look great!
@@adamfrandsen thank you my friend!!
I wonder if you could build a full range driver speaker that doesn’t have peaks in the highs, if anything shoot for peaks in the lows... Then use MiniDSP instead of building a crossover.
I don’t think we can change those peaks too much only with the enclosure but mini dsp is a good pick. I’ve worked with it and really liked it!
@@sonnoradesign love you videoes, keep up the good work!
Thanks Douglas! That’s really good info!
you are great!
Thanks a lot mate!!
Hello from Brazil! Does the website still work? I could not find
Website is off for now. I didn’t have much time to work on it lately. Valeu Thiago!!!
I am very interested in your video, but I know little English, for me subtitles are essential, so I can translate it into my language, if it is up to you to activate the subtitles I would greatly appreciate it.
Sure I think I can make that!! Thanks
Why is the mic placed in reverse facing to the speakers ?
The other speaker was on the other side. It didn’t show on the video!
Did u measure before break in or after ?what was the break in period?
The driver was quite new when I measured it. I’ve noticed a big improve after like 200 hrs I’d say.
@@sonnoradesign I am using the same driver.. u would have revisit xover.. with new measurements.. also play around with the port tuning. Mine have about 90hrs.
@@abhidadhia5091 right! I’m gonna play with it a little bit more. I’ve been using it without the filters, in my living room, and it sounds much better then before.
This guy talks like Van Damme. You took too much of the midrange out, the speakers will now sound thin.
Right! It sounds great after breakup but it’s good to know some BSC.
