JTR Speakers Noesis 212HTR Discussion


Ricci

Recommended Posts

I have a suspicion this might be in the interest of showing the 212HT/HTR - etc aren't lacking in 'mid-bass' as is a occasional discussion on the JTR thread.  With that much headroom, you can EQ them to any amount of midbass you desire in your own personal setup.  Check out them compared to the LMS-5400 in a sealed enclosure for instance.  Above 55Hz the 212HTR start to significantly have more bass available than arguably the best 18" subwoofer sealed.

 

They have zounds of headroom actually...

IME it doesn't capture the response of the speaker very accurately. Especially at very high frequencies where the wavelengths are relavent to the distance between the mic and the ground (1", top octave). They don't seem to capture the baffle step response very well and the speaker needs to be stood up and angled down towards the microphone carefully. If you're outside and measuring, why not just throw it on a ladder and get a more anechoic representation.

 

That's not to say above 200hz throw the data out. But if the speaker was laying on the ground or not angled towards the mic or something (since Ricci was focused on bass) then the result isn't surprising.

JTR specs are for 1m fullspace. The measurements here were taken at 1m halfspace. That's a 6dB difference due to the methodology. Full range measurements above the bass range do need to have different considerations made for the setup. The low pass filter was in line.
