Hello, trying to keep it short, I use an old MacMini (from 2010, only 4GB RAM and small mechanic HD) to stream uncompressed music to a DAC, the Mini does fine with an old version of Volumio but often times I have to restart it as it looses connection and I can't access the music via mobile...

Hello Guys, I’m looking to experiment with a 3D-printed 3-inch subwoofer and need a small, suitable amplifier for it. The subwoofer has a 4 Ohm impedance, with 15W RMS and 30W peak power. Tang Bang W3-1876S I’ve already connected a pair of Swissonic A305 active monitors via RCA (Chinch) from...

I've been after a better bench supply for a while, as my usual one runs out of amps and/or volts when testing power amp modules. When I saw this 60V/20A supply on sale I thought I had to try it. We are talking US$130 shipped for 1200W of power. Too good to be true? Let's find out! I have a...

Hey, I am working on a 3-way active speaker design. Below are my drivers, amps, and power supplies. I also included a rough drawing of my design. I am hoping to get feedback on the legitimacy of my design and see if anyone has any advice or input that I may not have considered. Once I get some...

Cleaning out the attic I stumbled upon my spare Sony DVP-S7700. Bought it used for a bargain at some point, intended for spares if my primary one would burn out its lasers. Yes that's correct lasers in plural, one dvd one cd laser. Well anyway, my primary unit seems to be going forever even...

Hello, After some look around the forum, I could find few posts around 3D printing but I could not find a particular thread related to 3D Printed speakers as a method of building D.I.Y speakers. I have not tried myself yet but I will list the different projects I could find to start the...

Hello guys, I am diving into the audio world as I would be interested to add a Surround/ Dolby Atmos to my living room. I am trying to avoid wires and thus look into what could be done DIY & Wireless. Unfortunately, it seems that there is not many reliable protocols that are able to achieve...

Dear All, relative noob here, only ever built one pair of open baffle speakers, but would like to graduate to a boxed design. The best girlfriend ever has decided that she fancies the speakers featured in the attached picture (they look like large floorstanders with a chunky coaxial) in the...

I had the intention of building my own stereo amplifier and ordered parts to built a TPA3255-based amp based on the Micro Bamboo project by @daniboun. https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/3e-audio-tpa3255-260-2-29a-amplifier-review.50208/ However, I was too lazy and...

Hi i want to build studio monitors for mixing, mastering and also just listening to music. A few things are already set. They will be 3 way with seperate closed boxes for bass and mid and i will use a hypex fa253 for dsp and amplification. The hypex plates can do fir filters since the latest...

I’m experimenting with building over-ear headphones (3D printed) and wondering what’s the typical way to attach the driver to the baffle. Let’s say it’s a 50mm driver. I could print a 50mm ring and wedge the driver in. Then put some hot glue around the edge. Or I could print a 54mm ring...

As the title states I am embarking on a journey to places unknown... Well maybe unknown to me but that's why I'm here, y'all know a whole lot more. Starting off with the UM 18-22. Pretty sure I'm going the way of DIY amp and I'm going to attach a couple screenshots from this website that I...

I recently built some desktop speakers from concrete, and I am trying to understand my measurements. I am quite happy with the overall sound, but they are definitely missing some base. I am using a Dayton Audio DS135-8 woofer with a Peerless Tymphany BC25SC08-04 tweeter and crossed them at...

Hi amigos, Before starting, I suspended the measurements of the first project "Micro Bamboo." I will come back to the quick measurements at the end of May finally, I still have to speak with Sami about his Micro Audio PSU... am focusing on this thread only on the measures of the "Bamboo V2"...

Hello, I'm having trouble understanding and diagnosing my tweeter's impulse and step response. The negative peak seems to be greater than the positive, and the positive seems to be split. This was measured using a UMK-1 3 inches away from the driver. I'm unsure what to make of it, whether...

I made a horrid ported sound bar 4yrs ago when I was complete newb to the topic. And frankly, I'm still newb. Now I know little better than 4yrs ago and also not satisfied with the sound it's making, I decided to tear the sound bar and and salvage drivers. So Now I have 4 drivers of Peerless...

Ever since I bought this speaker I've been thinking about removing the bass reflex cover. This is a quick change to make but I'm not sure and would like some opinions. This speaker has good sound quality but does not respond very well to bass. I have achieved a good level of low frequencies...

Was perusing the SB Acoustics website for drivers and came across a new 3-way speaker design: https://sbacoustics.com/product/gema/ Appears aimed at the market for those pining for the days of big woofers with wide baffle cabinets.... The drivers are all pretty reasonable however it uses a...

I really wanted to try the new MD60N-6 dome mid from SB Acoustics. I was looking at it for a while and I hoped it will have a discount at some point but no such luck. I then decided to buy it and build a pair of tower speakers. For the low end I chose the MW19P-8 woofer as it had great reviews...

Well was planning to wait until a later date to announce this, but the budget Directiva project required that I exchange the Seas DXT tweeter and so it seemed the time had arrived. To date all Directiva speakers have used the DXT tweeter but as I worked on a budget version I realized that the...
