Detuned cab

Sur un autre forum il y avait un thread sur les "detuned cab". Il s'agit en fait d'un close back cab 2-12 ou 4-12 dont on enlève un ou deux haut parleurs selon le cas afin d'améliorer le tone du cab. Je joint un copie coller du message.

"So I've been struggling with my current low budget rig. I'm running a Peavey Rockmaster into a Tubeworks MV-962 power amp into a 2x12 cab that I salvaged from my Traynor YGL-3 (The Traynor twin) when it died. I made the old amp cab into a closed back cab that I can run stereo if I want or with only one speaker going in lower volume situations. This rig has it's moments, but I'de been getting annoyed by boomy bass and icepick highs coming from the old Eminence speakers.

I have an old book by London Power guru Kevin O'Connor about cabinet construction that suggests "detuned" cabinets. Essentially they are cabs with the port on the front allowing the elimination of standing waves and increased volume with lower cost. I looked at Kevin's dimensions for a 1 x 12 detuned cab and my rig was almost spot on so I removed 1 speaker and gave it a try.

All I can say is WOW! Incredible clarity, no icepick highs and increased volume. I never would have believed it until I tried it. Now I just need to find the perfect "do it all" speaker."

Je joint aussi un lien très intéressant sur les expérimentations avec les detuned cab.

J'ai trouvé ça très intéressant mais incapable de faire l'essaie faute de cabinet.

Qu'en pensez-vous? Est-ce qu'il y en a parmis vous qui avez fait l'essaie?

J'imagine qu'Elegy a due faire sa propre expérimentations...
