Since everyone seems to want Neo...


Recommended Posts

i vote bids on first commercially made one of these to be used by the public

and is there state law that forbids marriage with an audio product

i bet california allows it =)

aarrrghhh give me your magnet, i thee wed

Somewhat spur of the moment, this sub was made as a “what if”. We already have the magnets and magnetizing fixture for them, so we figured a way to integrate them into a car audio application that seemingly solves a good portion of the issues associated with neo. The TS params are somewhat inconsequential compared to thermal stability. We can always tweak soft parts, geometry, and magnet sizes/grades to get those.

We ran some 3d FEA modeling of it and it came up as a little overkill for what we could flow through a standard core, but figured it would be a solid platform to test some different cooling techniques from. We are going to start running some long term thermal tests on it to make sure that the cooling is up to par to ensure long term thermal stability with a standard grade neo magnet. Issue is this… while there are higher thermal grades of magnets, the price seems to go up exponentially for similar strength. So… if we can keep a standard grade magnet cool and working below Tmax during a Las Vegas summer and at high power, it will help reduce the overall cost of something like this.

Nick will spend some time next week adding some thermocouplers to another one we are machining and test it at various points, frequencies, excursion and power levels to see how effective things are at not just cooling the coil, but the thermal mass as well. Once we get a solid baseline with this one we can go from there.

Point of posting pics was to gage interest in something that was a fair amount out of the ordinary. No sense in going down a path for a new product line if the target market isn’t the least bit interested in how it looks. For noise control/industrial applications aesthetics normally take a back seat to function. For autosound we have to find a balance as the flame baskets still do dominate the world of sales :)

Oh great now I got to order a neo 15 now too along with that SMD 15. I will have a great time playing with 15's.

Very nice Nick!
