The speaker box plan is from the Fostex FE206En data sheet and included these comments. Mark Houston has built a couple of the double bass reflex enclosures with the Fostex FE206En driver.įostex FE206En Double Bass Reflex Enclosure Plans

The speaker box plan Double Bass Reflex Type Enclosure for the Fostex FE206En full range speaker unit is show below. Start with a speaker toe-in of about 30-degrees and adjust to personal taste.įostex FE206En Double Bass Reflex Type Enclosure This rising response is best compensated by positioning the speakers off of the listening axis (ie. The rising response with increasing frequency is a typical trait of extended-range transducers with a very strong motor. A parallel notch filter can be used to tame this peak. The strong peak (about 8dB) at 2.6kHz results in a quite forward midrange.

It is also a good idea to cover The surface of the large magnet could act like a reflective surface in the enclosure so it is a good idea to cover the magnet with a sound absorbent material (like upholstery felt). Common methods are to use electrical duct seal or adhesive bitumen damping material. The frame is stamped steel and relatively light so there are benefits to adding mass (dampen) to reduce the potential of having the chassis "ring".

A speaker box plan of a back loaded horn type enclosure was included with the data sheet. The FE206En has a low Qts which makes this driver most useful in horn type enclosures. The overall weight of he driver is 3200 grams (7 lbs). The ferrite magnet is huge, 146 mm (5.75") in diameter, weighing 1067 grams (2.3 lbs). The light weight paper cone is attached with a reverse roll surround made from treated cloth. Like the similar FE driver the "ES cone" is made from banana plant fibre. The driver is 200 mm (7.9") in diameter and constructed on a stamped steel frame.

The data sheet indicates that the FE206En model uses a new diaphragm material which aids in improving the mid to high frequency reproduction. The Fostex FE206En fullrange driver is the updated model of the Fostex FE206E. Fostex FE206En Fullrange Speaker Driver (Transducer)
