New version of XMachina: 1210624 LINK


  • Some data structures for axial measurements have been prepared. There is not much that can be done with it in the current version: the measurements can only be loaded and displayed (they are not used for design yet) .

  • Bug fix: the application could't recognize potential profits from inverting speaker polarity and now it's corrected. Some drivers may appear in reverse polarity on the schematic:


    Polarity inverting can be allowed or forbidden depending on the checkbox state:


  • Some labels have been changed for for a clearer description.
  • Bug fix: Charts for curve digitization can be loaded from .bmp files (only pasting from the system clipboard worked so far, and it's still a preferred way as it doesn't depend on picture format).
  • Tab orders have been reorganized (left to right then top to bottom).
  • Existing points can be dragged to desired position during curve editing. The previous method of correcting points has been kept and it is the default method. For switching to "drag point" mode use the context menu:

3-way monitor with AMT (Mechano323)

Trying a 3-way design. The goals as always: balanced SPL and directivity related characteristics (acoustic power response, in-room response etc). Drivers used: tweeter : AMT2-4  link midrange: RS100-4  link woofer: DC160-8  link II started from what I had of the shelf and these were RS100-4 and DC160-8. I had also a dome tweeter but I thought it was a good opportunity to play around with ribbon or AMT driver as the midrange (RS100-4) is a fullrange driver and can be filtered high. The box is made of 18mm birch plywood with external dimensions 185x395x293mm. The volume for the woofer is approximately 12.5 liters, for the midrange there is a closed chamber with a volume of 1 liter. Bass reflex for the woofer tuned to ~40Hz. The box is filled with polyester fiber. Front panel layout (mm): Due to the asymmetrical arrangement of the drivers, the measurements were taken for angles 0-350 on both orbits (H and V). Upgrading Clio Pocket to version 3 was very helpful for this task. It has an aut

"Mechano22" - new version of a small 2-way speakers, with linear on-axis and power response characteristics.

Not so long ago, I made a small 2-way speaker design with the following goals: f6 around 40Hz with  8 liters BR 45Hz enclosure, generally balanced on-axis response and close to linear frequency power response. Experience gathered with that design led me to a conclusion that maybe it could be done a better and cheaper. And here is the new version, codemame "Mechano22".  It is based on  relatively inexpensive set from Dayton: ND25FW-4 tweeter with waveguide and DSA135-8 midwoofer. The box is really simple: rectangular 18mm birch plywood panels assembled (glued) with overlaps. Box dimensions: HxWxD: 290x174x263mm. The Box is filled with polyester fiber. Pic 1. Box dimensions (mm) The woofer has a flat basket edge, which, according to the manufacturer's note, allows application without flush so it wasn't implemented but there is a chamfer on the inner side of the mounting hole. Pic2. System on-axis and power response characteristics in comparison with target lines. For

 Another version of a small and inexpensive 2-way system with linear spl/PR characteristics. Drivers used in the design Scan Speak H2606/920000 LINK SB Acoustics SB13PFCR25-4 LINK The box is actually identical as in the previous design (i.e. Mechano22 LINK ).  External dimensions HxWxD: 290x174x263mm (volume approx. 8 liters). BR tuning around 45Hz (fi=35mm d=145mm). There is a reinforcement inside that connects the centers of the side panels. It is a piece of plywood with dimensions of approx. 135x40x18mm. The box is really simple: rectangular panels assembled (glued) with overlaps. No detachable panel, the filters are mounted to the rear panel through the woofer mounting hole.      The box is filled with polyester fiber. To prevent it getting into the speaker basket, I put a thin mesh on the filling. I made measurements -180..+180 degrees (V orbit) and 0..180 degrees (H orbit) with a step of 10 degrees. I used a manual turntable. Filter design. The machine apparently needed a 2uF cap
