PROJECT

This first test has been created using the Apostrophe' box
reducing only the hole area of 50%.

Simulated with the Mathcad spreadsheet created by Martin J. King

   

MEASUREMENTS

Here are some plots generated with my Clio system by Audiomatica.

On the Apostrophe' box without filter.

On the Apostrophe' box with a series filter 10mH // 11.2ohm (sensibility reduced to 90-91db).

On the Apostrophe' box with a series filter 10mH // 11.2ohm at 30 grades.

On the Apostrophe' box with a series filter 5mH // 11.2ohm.

On the Apostrophe' box with a series filter 3.7mH // 11.2ohm (my choice).

On the Apostrophe' box with a series filter 1mH // 11.2ohm.
