Page 5: Ribbon Speaker Kit Design Concept
Loudspeaker Description Ribbon Speaker Kit Design Concept The aim of a good high definition loudspeaker is to reproduce any instrument or sound as realistically and as close as possible to the original sound source .While these attributes are achievable to a degree using a standard woofer /soft, dome tweeter combination an even better solution is a woofer /ribbon tweeter loudspeaker. -
Page 6: The Ribbon Speaker Enclosures
Loudspeaker Description The Ribbon Speaker Enclosures The Bass Reflex enclosure was developed using LEAP 5 wave diffraction analyzer and FFT vibration analysis An Extended Bass Shelf ( EBS) / Butterworth low pass filter response was implemented with the enclosure to ensure optimum low extended bass and fast transit speed from the woofers The Enclosures feature flush mounted ribbon tweeter, rear port and are manufactured from 18mm MDF The Front Baffle is 36mm thick laminated MFD which ensures minimum movement of driver chassis and maximum... -
Page 7: Enclosure Rear Port & Port Flare
Loudspeaker Description Enclosure Rear Port • A rear port was employed in the ribbon speaker design to ensure a reduction of overall transducer distortion and cross modulation generated by front ports. With a front port a form of speaker (low frequency) distortion and cross modulation is generated by the chamber compressed air exiting the port out of phase with the woofer creating (modulation) interference of the woofer cone and ribbon diaphgram .This interference of the woofer cone occurs at medium to high playback levels (port velocity) -

Loudspeaker Description Crossover 260 260C 360 The Linkwitz Riley (Bessel /Butterworth) crossover unit was developed to enable good linear phase and minimum THD distortion through the pass band and over lap regions of both the woofer and ribbon tweeter whilst providing wide dynamic range and excellent low mid and high level continuity of detail . -
