    Multilayer mdf loudspeaker

    Has anyone ever tried to route parts for a multilayer loudspeaker like this
    Tangband backloaded horn.
    It would be very nice if anybody know how to make a drawing.

    Multilayer

    www.tb-speaker.com is a very competent loudspeaker driver manufacturer they have a lot of interesting drivers.

    In this case they use a cnc router to cut the sheets which can be anything
    from Masonite to MDF.

    It has became a useful technology in making of loudspeaker boxes and if used "raw" it also has a decorative effect.

    i make Loudspeaker boxes but nothing like that, the amount of cauclations to come up with the sound cuves and what not on that box would be a bit of a task to do. You can do it but you would have to have the right speaker you want then draw the box for that speaker and take you time diong so by testing the sound waves and what Freq you want that speaker to play at or what range you want to Make that speaker realy belt at. Can be done but you have to have alot of cauclations behind it to make it sound nice.

    Just my 2 cents
    I'm young and I'm just trying to learn from people that know.

    signIT,

    So are you looking for help to make the drawings or machine the laminated layers? Or just a general overall discussion?

    I need the basic information om how to draw the special folded pattern as in the picture from Tangband.

    I have Auto Sketch and some other programs

    I can make the loudspeaker calculations but it seems worse to draw the folded horn.


    Kind regards

    Look for a cad program that has a spline function. You define the points and the cad calculates the spline for you. The more points you define the better it follows your intent.
