But I don't shy from timber or metal enclosure preparation and finishing. When it comes to carpentry I leave that to those who are better skilled than I. The skills required can vary from simple drilling holes to complex carpentry.

For more ideas, see the Fostex FE206E / FE206En Fullrange Driver Modifications and Tweaks page. There are many tweaks and modifications that can be done to improve the drivers. The extremely large magnet of the driver is also covered with bitumanized heavy aluminium foil to reduce sound reflections from the back of the box. I have added bituminous aluminium foil to dampen the driver frame. The photos below show the Fostex FE206En fullrange speaker drivers. Figure 1 below shows the speaker box plan from the datasheet.įigure 1: Fostex FE206En Double Bass-Reflex Enclosure Plan The double bass-reflex speaker enclosure plan is from the datasheet that was included with the Fostex FE206En driver. The fill material is used to dampen the rear wave from the driver and minimize standing waves and reflections within the speaker enclosure.įostex FE206En Double Bass-Reflex Speaker Box Plan The interior chambers of the double bass-reflex speaker box is typically lined with a thick damping material and/or stuffed with loose synthetic or wool fill. The use of an additional chamber in the speaker enclosure also reduces the likelihood of resonances. Other advantages of the double bass-reflex speaker compared to a conventional bass-reflex system are a reduction of the cone excursion around F 3 and a corresponding reduction distortion.
The augmentation to the bass output is achieved by the use an additional chamber in the bass-reflex process. The double bass-reflex (DBR) speaker system is a variation of the standard bass-reflex (BR) enclosure that is intended to achieve further extension of the bass response. Photograph 1: First pair Fostex FE206En Double Bass Reflex Speakersĭouble Bass-Reflex Type Speaker Enclosures So much so that I had to have a pair for myself. The bass from these speakers was always very impressive. Kit, my son, had the FE206En double bass-reflex speakers in the corner of the room on a wood floor. The horn speakers I kept for myself but the double bass-reflex speakers went to my son's house along with a two-stage KT88 SE UL amp that I built. But when it comes to flea power amps they can make "boogie" real loud.Ī family friend had built me the back-loaded horn speaker cabinets and at the same time a pair double bass-reflex boxes also for the Fostex FE206En driver. The back loaded horn speakers are large and (according to my wife) ugly speakers. The FE206En driver has a rated sensitivity of 96dB/1W/1m. The horn speakers use the Fostex FE206En (8") fullrange driver. I have had a pair of Fostex single driver back-loaded horns for a few years now. With so little available power it is easy to understand why high-sensitivity loudspeakers are required. The power output from these amps ranges from 2.5W to 5.8W. The three valve amps that are in my current rotation are The Silver Dragon - 300B SET, Luciano - 807 SE UL and Paris - SE 6EM7 fully integrated amp. Those who know me know that I love my flea power single-ended (SE) valve amplifiers.
