Project Master Blueprint: Hybrid MTM SLOB Tower Speaker
1. System Overview & Architecture System Type: Hybrid 3-Way Floorstanding Tower (Active Bass / Passive Mid-High MTM). Target Application: High-output, low-distortion reference monitors 2. Physical Geometry & Acoustic Alignment Listening Distance: 96 inches (8 feet). Speaker Separation: 64 inches center-to-center. Baffle Architecture: Front faceplate: width 12.25 inches 18 inches High. Flared rear wings: 8" high 4.5" deep for stability. Cabinet Tilt & Time Alignment: SLOB Enclosure features a 10° backward rake (pulls the tweeter back ~200 mm relative to the listening plane). SLOB 8-inch woofers sit inside a slot roughly 127 mm deep. Net Acoustic Offset: The tweeter/midrange acoustic center sits roughly 73 mm further back than the bass slot center. 3. Driver Complement & Electrical Loads Bass Section (SLOB): 6x 8-inch woofers wired in a series-parallel matrix. Total Nominal Load: 5.33 Ohms. Midrange Section (MTM): 2x Peerless SDS-160 paper cone midrange...
