My DIY 1/2 Orelo attempt. (Orelo/Orelino)
Finally completed the build of the three half sized DIY Orelo bass wave guides and had a chance to take one of them to the media room prior to committing paint to the project.
Very interesting results of the performance of just half an Orelo. I can't imaging how much bass the full size units put out. My room is 20'x 27'x 9 and they had plenty of output....actually, a little more than my current DIY bass bins which use the same drivers.
Here is the three parts to be assembled. Much easier to lug upstairs by myself than a whole speaker!
The plan is to place the Oris 150s on top of the wave guide once the project is complete.
I ran several tests on the setup, first up was the Impedance curve for both Eminence Kappalite 3015LF drivers once mounted on the Baffle.
This is the first sweep taken in the room with the mic 3' from the mouth of the waveguide. Reasonably flat for an in room measurement from my experience.
