    Audio First Fidelia on Erin’s Audio Corner

    I don't have a plan for a horizontal version yet but I will consider, especially if I am making this active in the future it can be a pretty nice studio monitor. Regarding the mid-range crossover, I am not going to cross it very low actually because this version is a passive speaker. For 3-way...

    Audio First Fidelia on Erin’s Audio Corner

    Indeed. I worked on a design with a 6.5-inch woofer some time ago but you don't get a lot of improvement, so I lost interest. I probably didn't mention it in any of my comments here but I have shared this update in my previous newsletter. I have been working on some new DIY kit designs recently...

    Actually I have sold quite a few pairs of baffles already. It is not a standard product certainly, but if people come and ask me I can accommodate.

    Happy New Year guys! I am back to work again... Installed the R-axis and the Z-axis clamping frame. The Z-axis is up! Took quite a while to connect all the cables, tweaking the screws/nuts/tension wires to level the machine and it is basically done! After cleaning all the bloody mess...

    Yes it is carpeted. I am aware of that the MDF base is probably not heavy / big enough for the NFS. Erin also shared his experience on this (he used to have almost the same type of situation / setup) and I will do some modification on the base. I plan to extend the board and put rubber mat...

    Came back today and carried on building this big and noisy spinning metal boy again :D Got it mounted on the MDF base and moved it to a suitable position. But quickly I found that the computer desk had to go (to somewhere else) as its corner was just within the spinning radius. I also need to...

    Work in progress... It takes a long time to unpack. Most of the metal parts are wrapped tightly with cling film which took quite a lot of effort to unwrap. One suppose to bolt the NFS to the floor but I can't do this at my office so I learnt from Erin and cut a large piece of 18mm MDF to be the...

    I can share a little regarding these topics as an industry insider, but I won't go too deep. B&W put a lot of resources into research, if I remember correctly, at their new office in Southwater they have like 3 or 4 anechoic chambers, and I believe they have Klippel equipment for driver...

    Audio First Fidelia on Erin’s Audio Corner

    Hi Andrew, I designed the Fidelia with a short listening distance in mind. The shorter-than-typical tweeter/woofer centre-to-centre distance and the low crossover point work well to trick our brain into hearing them more like a single acoustic point source. If I have to describe this in a...

    See Q Meta white paper, how the waddings are placed: At LF the air inside the box acts like a spring, putting typical porous material in between the driver and the port (well, or anywhere inside the cabinet) only changes the damping of the bass reflex system but doesn't stop it from working.

    Hi Kharan, You are correct! The main reason why I started with kit products is because, well, as a one-man show, I don't have enough capital to invest in mass-produced finished products, rent a warehouse to store them, etc. Kits, on the other hand, is a lot more flexible. I can produce small...
