DRIVE UNITS BY MANUFACTURER:
P280

The Accuton P280 is a high end passive radiator designed to complement the S280 range of drive units and features the same ceramic sandwich cone and multi spoke chassis.
Adjustable mass tuning is accomplished by adding / removing stainless steel weight discs giving a possible resonance range of between 15Hz - 45 Hz.
The stated nominal resonance frequency of the passive radiator is taken at 3mm excursion to give a realistic value.
Here's a formula to calculate the resonant frequency :
Fres= sqrt[1/(Cms corr.) x Mms x 4 pi^2)] with Cms corr.= 1/[(1/Cms) + 1/((Vb/Vas) x Cms)] ... phew! :0)
| Resonant frequency (fs) | 18Hz | DC resistance (Re) | - |
| Mechanical Q factor (Qms) | - | Power handling | - |
| Electrical Q factor (Qes) | - | Sensitivity (2.83V/1m) | - |
| Total Q factor (Qts) | - | Chassis diameter | 280mm |
| Equivalent volume (Vas) | 226L | Cutout diameter | 252mm |

On reflection having now fitted the foam, I wish it was 15mm to 18mm or even 20mm thick. This is not a complaint. For a small speaker under 30cm high it’s perfect. For a larger speaker I feel a thicker sponge would hold its structure more pleasingly, its aesthetics, but important for the finished look.
I’ve been building my own home cinema as a complete DIY project and reached the stage where I needed some decent acoustic foam for my speaker panels (also DIY!) so I picked up 3 large sheets from here. They were sent quickly, packed well and moreover, are of excellent quality. With them being folded into the shipping box they were slightly creased but after leaving them out overnight on a flat surface, the creases fell out completely. They’re now in place and doing their job brilliantly. Cheers Willys Hifi!
The crossover was constructed well, I just need to figure out the best way to attach it to my Kef Concertos as they are bigger than the ones supplied by Kef that are mounted on the front of the baffle board.
Very nice deep bass look amazing with my custom made speaker
Great speedy delivery and very easy to fit. The plastic in my drivers had perished and they had suffered one too many parties! No need to make any adjustments (someone above did suggest that). I just screwed them in and the foam compressed into place. Before and after below (before I changed speaker number 2). Thank you!
