DML exciters - decision paralysis

ProjectDML · « **on:** **Yesterday** at 10:10 am »

New to DMLs.

There are so many exciter choices at Parts Express.

Thrusters seems to be a popular choice but are any clear advantages going with it vs the High Efficiency units?

Could experienced builders share their reasons for their exciter choices?

Thank you.

I like big excitets in a line array of 5 or 7 units.

It’s been a while since I did my own playing around with dml panels. Iirc the transducers don’t cost too much. May pick a few you are interested in and buy a couple of each?

Nice. Looks like some of the newer offerings from Dayton audio have interchangeable mounts. Would make trying out different panels much simpler experience.

That’s certainly a different direction from what I’d read so far.

The Tectonics only had 4 exciters in a parallelogram like array.

What were the benefits of so many exciters in a line besides SPL? More bass? Flatter FR?
