Concrete Audio Speakers...Speaker Enclosures made out of Concrete ?..
WE ARE WAITING FOR SAMPLES FROM JERN JERN http://jernspeakers.com/jern12-xf-loudspeaker/They are unfortunately made of iron so they will ring like a bell. The speaker is even shaped like a bell so not very good design. Theres no response curve provided on their site, they have -6db @65 hz which is terrible and are overpriced. Best to be avoided. |
If you wanted to make big concrete speakers, the way to do it would be to make them modular. Stack 6" high sections on top of each other separated by thick gaskets. They need to be something that is assembled in place. You don't want to try to move 500lbs of concrete in one piece. I don't know if concrete by itself is great idea but it could certainly be a big part of a great box. It's incredibly dense and won't resonate at low frequencies. Maybe some high frequency damping is in order but that's certainly doable. |
Kenjit Not having heard them your blather is one of ignorance.... naturally. I have a system of CNC’d aluminium billets incorporating 6 x 2” full range speakers in each module, 6 modules per channel. Custom amplifiers drive them and I dare anyone to say they ring. The sound is top quality! I compare these to my other system (250k) and yes there is a difference naturally but the solid aluminium speakers are in the high quality sound range. |
