McFadden) Subject: LIST OF MUSICAL INSTRUMENT & SOUND REINFORCEMENT SPEAKERS Message-ID: <1993Jan1.080956.6748@tvnews.tv.tek.com> Keywords: woof Sender: news@tvnews.tv.tek.com (news user) Organization: Tektronix TV Measurement Systems, Beaverton, OR Date: Fri, 1 Jan 1993 08:09:56 GMT Lines: 260 [Last modified 1-Dec-92] Here is a list of speaker drivers for musical instrument and sound reinforcement use as recommended by various people on the net. For each driver I list the number of recommendations. Many people have named manufacturers without giving specific model numbers and are included in "Number of people who recommend this brand." The MCM numbers are from the MCM Electronics catalog [800-543-4330]. The PE numbers are from the Parts Express catalog [800-338-0531]. This list includes Thiele-Small parameters for many of the drivers. I have separate files that contain specifications for optimum (non-peaking) sealed box and ported (bass reflex) enclosures for these drivers, a tutorial on speaker systems, and enclosure design equations for the HP-48SX calculator. E-mail for more information. If anyone has more data, recommendations, or corrections, e-mail to me, and I will update the list. The list is in order of popularity. Manufacturer/ Power Impe- SPL Res.
