Battle of the 8”s | Lii Audio Fast 8 Full-Range Driver Mass Loaded Transmission Line | Free DIY
In this video I introduce 4 different price point 8 Inch full-range drivers and I start working on a Mass Loaded Transmission Line for the Lii Song (Lii Audio) driver with Neil Blanchard's collaboration. The Thiele and Small parameters were measured from the drivers as well as FRD and ZMA files extracted for the filters. At the end I talk a little about the results and show the plans, filters and measurements after a few weeks of tuning.
