Re: The Essentials of Sound Quality: IMHO

Question about beaming and tweeters.

My tweeters have a nominal diameter of 37mm (1.5") and a corresponding beaming frequency of ~4.7kHz. I am presuming then that frequencies above 4.7kHz may be subject to the effects of beaming. If this is the correct understanding, what can I do with my tweeter install to limit/control beaming effects? I apologize if I missed any of that discussion here. I looked but did not ascertain anything applicable.
 
Re: The Essentials of Sound Quality: IMHO

a 1.5" speaker would be more like 9100hz, give or take.

control it? depends on your goal. the most obvious answer to me would be tweeter angle.
 
Re: The Essentials of Sound Quality: IMHO

Can't control beaming. It's just physics dictated by the diameter.

Just install your tweeter and tune

Robert - I used the half-wavelength formula instead of the full-wavelength formula.

Thanks, Robert and Kelvin, for the advice. Learning has to start somewhere, right?

I think Erin uses that method too come to think of it.
