On the dynamic/stat ML'S the small area where the cabinet is directly
Behind the stat is this done for voicing reasons?
Has anybody tried putting absorbing material on the canted area
Behind the stat. Easy enough to try just curious...
:confused:
 
This is something I'd like to try with Tube Traps. I asked ASC about it, and they felt that it would make a big difference, even if I just used a 36" Tube Trap behind the panel of my SL3, where there is 42" of space. I plan to do it at some point. Problem is that as soon as Tube Traps go up for sale on Audiogon, they get snapped up immediately. There were two ads recently for just what I need (11" dia, 36" high), and they all sold the day they were listed.

ML told me at the audio show in Socal here this past summer that you can place mid-bass to high frequency traps behind the stats. The traps will absorb these frequencies, effectively delaying them even more when the bonuce back than if no trap was there. The extra delay will create an more diffuse soundfield whoch is what we are looking for anyways, right? This helps those of us without much space in our rooms to place the stats way up front for aesthetic reasons. Just make sure you don;t put really heavy material behind them for they will deadend the sound afterall.
 
wondered about defraction off the upward canted cabinets,wonder what ML would say about the closed off
2in? of stat that goes into the front of the baffle.:confused:
