Prototype VI - Controller + Amp + Speakers
I built a second amplifier (Jon currently has the first one) and connected it to the Prototype VI controller. I then finished the speakers my brother built and connected it all together. It Works!
I built one of the speakers with a crossover and one without. Eventually, I will get Jon's tri-amping software where the crossover is done digitally. When that happens (Soon because Jon already has it done.) then I will drive the speakers directly without using the hardware crossover.
Here are the parts:
- Crossover.
- Tweeter.
- Mid-range.
- Woofer.
- Terminals.
I am using the XO3W-375/3K crossover from Dayton. Here is the specification. It is a three-way, second order crossover with corners at 375Hz and 3000Hz.
I am using the DC28FT-8 tweeter from Dayton. Here is the specification. It is an 8 ohm speaker recommended for 1800Hz and above. It has an SPL of 89dB.
I am using the 4inch M4N from HiVi. Here is the specification. It is an 8 ohm speaker recommended for 100Hz to 5000Hz. The mid-range of the crossover fits well inside this range. It has an SPL of 82dB so it is a little dead compared to the tweeter. This can be corrected when we implement the digital crossover (more gain or less gain for the tweeter).
I am using the DC200-8 from Dayton. Here is the specification. Again, this is an 8 ohm speaker and is recommended from 30Hz to 500Hz. It has an SPL of 88dB which is close to the tweeter and will require very little correction.
I am using the BPA-38G binding posts from Dayton.
