Just
what is a "Detuned Cab"
and why is it so big?
.
Detuned
cabs are the answer
to obtaining the optimum sound from a cabinet in a controlled
environment.
Designed
by Kevin O'Connor of London
Power, these cabs offer huge sound using less drivers. .
.
.'DETUNED'
SOLUTION
"What's
the best cabinet design? Something between a large sealed cabinet and a
slightly smaller but still large bass reflex design: a "detuned"
cabinet with a single driver. This is essentially a cabinet built for two
identical drivers with one driver left out and it's mounting hole left open.
The port is not tuned to any specific frequency but instead allows a broad
range of frequencies to be reversed through the shallow duct. Instead of
having a brick-wall bass roll-off, the low end rolls off gradually but
slightly slower than the raw driver. The large cabinet does not sound boxey so
mids and highs sound three dimensional, unlike a sealed cabinet
which sounds comparatively sterile. We sometimes call this an
"open-front" design since it is like having an open-back cabinet
where you bring along your own wall. The closed back gives
consistent sound regardless of room placement; therefore the port
cannot be on the back. The only caveat is one that applies to every
other design: that elevating the cabinet seriously reduces low
frequency output, so -always leave it on the floor."
From
the book 'LONDON POWER DIY Speaker Cabinets for Musical Instrument
Applications' by Kevin O'Connor
 This
is a 1x12 version of the detuned cab. It is built of Honduran Mahogany and
has a Pennsylvania Cherry finish with black "Marshall style" grille
cloth and large rubber feet. The cabinet is constructed of single width
board, not glued up narrower boards. The cabinet contains 10,125 cubic
inches of volume for superior sound. Side mounted recessed folding
chrome handles, are functional and add to the beauty of this cabinet. It is
loaded with a single, specially designed Weber VST Blue Dog Ceramic speaker
with a double ceramic magnet. It sounds amazing!! Fully loaded, the
cabinet weighs 55 pounds and measures 30" tall x 24" wide x 15
3/8" deep.
Single
