James, I had the same goals and I ended up using speakers made from drivers NSW1-205-8A from Aura Sound: http://www.aurasound.com/ I wanted acoustic sources with the lowest possible source size and minimal diffraction, so I used 1" drivers in a tear-drop (mostly spherical) shaped enclosure. These drivers are over-achievers. I don't know whether to describe them as 1" woofers that go up to 20 kHz, or as tweeters that go down to 200 Hz. If you need to go lower there is a 2" version. If you would like construction details please feel free to contact me off-list. And if you have a problem procuring them in the UK, I'd be happy to help. -----Original Message----- From: AUDITORY Research in Auditory Perception [mailto:AUDITORY(at)LISTS.MCGILL.CA] On Behalf Of James Heron Sent: Friday, April 23, 2004 10:05 AM To: AUDITORY(at)LISTS.MCGILL.CA Subject: small speakers Dear List, I am hoping to construct a speaker array for use in some auditory localisation experiments. I would probably start with 9 speakers. The speakers will need to be as small as possible whilst still having a frequency response wide enough to reproduce broadband white noise. I'm hoping to turn them on/off via Matlab and the parallel port of a PC. It would be good (but not essential) if they could cope with being attached to a wall mounted bracke. Also they will need to be relativley cheap and ideally available in the UK! If any list members know of a speaker manufacturer/supplier/model which might meet some of these criterion I would be grateful for any auggestions Many thanks, James. ------------------------------------------------------------ This mail sent through IMP: http://webmail.brad.ac.uk To report misuse from this email address forward the message and full headers to misuse(at)bradford.ac.uk ------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------- This message (including any attachments) may contain confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose.
