Radian LM10n planar trials with dspNexus
« on: 7 Jan 2023, 03:22 pm »
Received a pair of the new Radian LM10n wide range planar drivers for trials in an open baffle design.

Will be the second design to use the Danville Signal dspNexus 2x8 DSP as the crossover.

Now to get the baffles setup.

I'm excited to see how this works out. The new Radian drivers appear to be well thought out and constructed.

Only problem being the price, but then again, I would pay more for more reliable planars  :thumb:

They are a bit more expensive than the original BG NEO10 price, but the quality of the build is much better.  A lot cheaper than what the NEO10's were at the end of sales at PE.

Baffles?? We don't need no stinkin' baffles.  :D
Hope to see you again at Flexpo this year Rich?

I can see how these would be much easier to mount vs the neo10. 
Is the objective in testing to get a better idea of dispersion and distortion, or that the response plots from Radian can be taken at face value and those need to be verified too? 
Cheers!

This is a test to see what the measurements will be in this style of baffle.  The question is how high the constant directivity capability of the LM10n will reach in frequency.

There are ways to widen the horizontal dispersion to try if it will not be able to be used widerange.
