TAD 2404 Build

[Earl K]

A few more of the build .

I don't think I have them hooked up correctly .... and no schematic .Any ideas would be greatly appreciated .

Hi Rich,

I think your message is a bit too cryptic ( as a proper cry for help ).

Descriptions of ( initial impressions/disappointments ) are helpful ( assuming you can't provide any response captures ).

Ian ( Macka ) at one time had a network schematic for the double woofer model ( I'd suggest contacting him ).

Did you build the horns ( or are they someone elses handiwork) ?

The horns are original Earl .... The crossover is completely different to the TN 4 ... I've emailed GT sound for advice . I don't understand why they stopped making them .....even with the hook up issue I can hear what they do .

In the category of "I saw it on the Interwebz, so it must be true"...
Googling for 2404 images to compare, the upper/inset panel terminals may be missing some jumpers.
Having a valid schematic/wiring-diagram would indeed make things simpler.

Hi

The TN4 is a 36 Db low pass on the Tad woofer

The high pass is 12 Db

The horn has a series and a parrellel trap and a Lpad fixed

There is a mild bump in the horn response

I never had a chance to test it on live drivers

There are other ways to set up the horn

I would look at an active DSP these days

Beautiful work as always

Rich, you are a true craftsman

Hey ,

how can the diaphragm measure correctly and sound like its fried ? HELP ?


Richard

[Ian Mackenzie]

Have you checked the voltage drive of the crossover on the Tad driver?

It might be going too low

Suggest you inspect the diaphragm.

Are you the original owner?

Thanks a lot for your reply!

Are you certain the original ports used in the TAD 2402 are 105mm in length and 100mm in diameter? Is the internal net volume really as low as 135liters? The enclosure looks bigger and my guess would have been around 150liters or more...
Have you owned this enclosure or where did you find these info´s?

My TL-1603 seems to have pretty similar TSP´s to the TL-1601a in the 2402 enclosure according to TAD´s specs. So it should behave similar in the same enclosure I guess...
