New Inn

A small floor-standing loudspeaker based on Accuton mid woofers and the Mundorf Air Motion tweeter.

My new small floor-standing loudspeaker. Small, elegant and beautiful.
In this loudspeaker, the Accuton Midwoofer C158-8-085, and the Mundorf Air Motion Tweeter AMT25CS2.1-R. 

Soundstage is really excellent due to the Air Motion tweeter. It is fast, transparent, and direct. 

Bouwen van de Inn

The side panels are cut straight and have no mitre joints, making the building process as simple as possible. There are three braces inside the cabinet for added stiffness and structural support. In the braces, I have made one large circle and tw smaller circles to get as much openness in the cabinet as possible.

For the Inn, I once again opted for a construction process on the side of the box. During the build process, I often use a build bed to ensure the clamps are properly positioned between the loudspeaker and the workbench. This is clearly visible in several photos.

Started by glueing the backside to the side. After that, I glued the top panel. because the panels must be positioned exactly on the side wall. White wood glue has the property that panels tend to slide easily. So it requires some skill to get them positioned correctly. I use many MDF jigs that are easy to straighten, and I frequently use a square. I also use clamps to position the panels properly during glueing. Hence, once again, the advice is to glue in stages. After about 20 minutes, the clamps can already be released for the next panel.

I always make the baffle beforehand, first milling the holes for the drivers. Remember to flange the back of the holes (i.e., in the cabinet). This can be 45 degrees or rounded. This is also visible in one of the photos. Only after the drivers fit properly into the front and the holes on the back have been flanged can the front be glued to the cabinet. This also requires skill, as the glue causes the front to slide. Again, I use many clamps to position the front extra securely on the cabinet so that everything fits nicely and not too much sanding is required.
