Re: Crossover hints and tips- COMPONENT PLACEMENT
This is really interesting Charlie. Could potentially have significant impact on how the 10's crossover is physically configured. I eagerly await your conclusions!

Re: Crossover hints and tips- COMPONENT PLACEMENT
I plan on investigating the audibility of this later but think it has the potential of having a bigger effect than changing out normal functioning resistors, caps and inductors. Have any of you tried

Crossover hints and tips- COMPONENT PLACEMENT
Guys, I found this YT video last night. It is very well done and demonstrates another reason why analog passive crossovers are less than ideal.
I verified these effects are all real this morning.

Re: DQ-10 crossover upgrade
Have you reviewed the Mills MRA audio grade resistors with mil-spec 1% tolerances?
They are very highly regarded in audio signals. They can be purchased at the “Parts Connexion”

Robert I measure the complex response of speaker which includes both magnitude and phase, not just the magnitude alone. ?I actual rely heavily on Group delay as one of my design analysis parameters.

You are right about the overlap, tons of that going on in a 5-way design. The beauty of the dq design is that it maintains phase coherence between drivers in regions of overlap. At least that's one of

Robert, Nice lab.

Bill, yes the drivers are NOW wired out of phase ( which is CORRECT) as shown on the most current schematic. They have to be because each section of the crossover introduces 90 degree phase shift for

Hey Charlie, a couple of things I wanted to mention. That HiVi dome is pretty great, but there are a few things you might want to consider when using that dome; it's going to have a shorter throw, to

Re: Redesign or retrofit!

Are the two drivers wired out of phase the same as the schematic’s? If I’m correct that is done on some speakers for timing and dispersion? I noticed it on the specs and inspected mine which were

Re: DQ-10 crossover upgrade
Greetings everyone,
I’m going to alter my DQ10’s by mounting the banana plugs near the circuit board and will remove the rheostat from the circuit, replace with resistors. However, the original

Re: DQ-12 crossover upgrade
They certainly do. And thanks so much for all your efforts. In this thread, as well as your service to this country.
Come home safe.

Re: DQ-12 crossover upgrade
Yes you are correct, the schematic is an early one that is of the base
crossover.
You are also correct about the 5.6uF capacitor.
I have a newer schematic at home that I did with the new capacitors

Hi Bill,
Very nice of you to put this out. I have the manual, but I’m sure some others out there would be happy to have it too.

Hi Will,
I take it that the picture with the large DQ caps and the hot glue gun is the modified board. If that is the case, it would seem that the schematics you were nice enough to send are

Re: DQ-12 crossover upgrade
I haven’t been following but I did see the DQ-12’s and thought I’d make this available if they needed it. Also I sure would love to test their caps, inductors and resistors with my B&K 880 LCR
