An interesting conversation developed in the Directiva thread on baffle edge diffraction and I thought we could continue it here.
I can't say I understand all the technical aspects of baffle edge diffraction but it seems a few points(from Heismann acoutsics page) has given me the basics as well as Mr Peabody's effort in the Directiva forum.
1. Give as much as baffle as possible
2. Give as little as baffle as possible
3. Give unsymmetry to the drivers
4. Use a waveguide
5. It seems chamfering also helps(general advice)
The drivers in the design below are offcentered with very little baffle to the left plus to the right there is quite a a lot of baffle.
For education sake it seems the designer has taken in consideration the basics but is there a way to tell how he has worked it out? And if it is effective? or if its precisely calculated? Is the baffle to the right enough to eliminate the problem? Is the baffle to the left little enough to eliminate the problem? Or just has he used the basics? I am not worried about baffle step loss but more about comb filtering and other interferences that DSP cannot mitigate.
