Welcome to the world of the most advanced bass-reflex loudspeakers! |
 | This is the very first MCAP-CR model! System configuration of this model is two-subchamber + four ducts. Tangband's full range driver W3-517SB is applied, though not limited to. Sound of this model is natural and this model generates considerablly low frequency down to approximately 50 Hz. It is the easiest to assemble this model among all the MCAP-CR systems. Original model was assembled with 14mm and 10mm thickness plates, because there were unused materials. It does not have to be assembled as the very original. Rev.2 equivalent system drawing are uploaded. DU080a Rev.2 Assembly DU080a Rev.2 Isometric Assembly DU080a Rev.2 Cutting Plan Original system drawing is below: DU080a Original Assembly |

This is a standard MCAP-CR with two subchambers. Drivers' layout is unique. This layout is typical of QNDR(Quasi Non-DimensionalRadiator) models. NDR(Non-DimensionalRadiator) system was developed by someone else, but, unfortunately, no details are not available now. My friend let me know how the NDR works. I tried similar but different drivers' layout to NDR. I named it QNDR. Its effect is different from NDR; however, it realized unique sound field representation. With tis layout, listner dose not care about where to stay. This is very unique and will present position-free sound field. Used driver models is Tangband's W2-802SE. This model was tested with Foster's FF57BK as well. Both driver models perform well with this enclosure design. This model should be set as high as practically possible. Recommended installation is to suspend the system from ceiling in a spacious room.

This model was designed for Fostex's FE83En. This model has more than enough volume for 3" driver. 4" driver may be applied. A hole of wall between subchambers is not necessary. It may be better not to make a hole here. If this hole is made, this model is a type of AICC-CR, and not made, it is a type of standard MCAP-CR. This model generates enough low frequency sound down to approximately 40Hz+. Assembly Reference (sorry. It is in Japanese) Visual structure. Thank you. Jason! Front View Visual structure. Thank you.

I made these three models to know difference among standard MCAP-CR, CBS-CR, and AICC-CR.
Note that rod along corner needs to be prepared separately. Each model has exactly the same appearace. Sounds are similar, but listners noticed some differences. I recommend Standard MCAP-CR. Majority of audiences at my presentation chose CBT080a. My friend chose AIT080a. In any way, they are interesting. Note that assembling these models are extremely challenging. Good for master of handcraft. |
 
TR130e / TR130e2

I like 5" drivers. 5" drivers have enough effective area and moderate high frequency performance. Most 5" drivers will be applicable to MCAP-CR. Author is currently using Tangband's W5-1611SA and Feastrex's NF5Exciter models. Fostex's highest end models may perform well with MCAP-CR. TR130e Assembly TR130e Internal View. (Thank you. Mr. Nakata) TR130e Cutting Plan TR130e2 Assembly TR130e2 Cutting Plan These two variations were not basic design change. I wanted to make two sets of TR130e, but I had to redesign because 4" paper pipe became unavailable. I would recommend "e" model rather than "e2", if appropreate paper pipe is available. Note that opening for TR130e2 in the drawing is indicated for Feastrex's NF5Exciter. It is unique. Opening hole must be designed for specified driver unit to be used. Rear hole in TR130e2 is for exciter wiring terminal. It is used for exciter driver only. Refer to Wide-Range Loudspeaker System with 5" Full-Range Drivers for more information. |

This is the first 5" model. Recommended driver is Tangband's W5-1611SA. Feastrex's NF5Exciter showed good match with this enclosure model. My American friend gave me information that he made this model wit Fostex's FE138ES-R. He was surprized at the performance of the system. This is not easy model to assemble. TR130e model is easier to assemble, but some may prefer this TR130b. Thickness of plates may be changed.
