Infinitely variable ohm load. Is box rise obsolete?


Recommended Posts

My point was that there is no "downstream" in AC like there is in DC.

If you throw in a resistor or a capacitor to form a filter it doesn't matter whether you put it before or after the terminals to the speaker.

Edit: If you are just using the term in a way I'm not getting, then don't take my answer as a dick answer.

Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist?

I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . .

What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself

but what has drawn your attention

in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums

An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space

Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears,

thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

Wicks, great explanation. But that scenario is at a single frequency, correct? So how would things react in a song with many transitions and frequencies? Would the variac have to adjust for each one? Or would you set up the variac at the frequency that shows the highest resistance?

Sorry if its confusing LOL. I have these questions but don't know quite how to word it?

Regarding frequencies, I thought the original intent was to use this for single frequency burps.

Here's a dumb suggestion: If this can be utilized, can we create drivers with ultra-low (or maybe better to go high?) impedance to make proper use of this setup?

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.

Thx Man.

A variac is just a variable transformer and impedance matching transformers were/are used on music all the time.

Assuming the variac can handle the low frequencies which I'm not sure on and might need some testing or research.

Let me dig around and get one of my own impedance curves and I'll explain the different frequencies further....

Original idea was for burps. However... I intend to test it on music too. Could be a very easy way to "wire down" for burps

Anyways... Variac should be here tomorrow. It's 45lbs and rated to 5kw. 110v in, 240v out
