Title: ZFM15 Back Tilt Post by KenD on 02/26/23 at 18:27:47 It's difficult to tell from the pix on this site and on the Caintuck site but since these speakers are not on stands would they benefit from a slight back tilt - say ~5 degrees from perpendicular? |
Title: Re: ZFM15 Back Tilt Post by ArtMan on 02/26/23 at 20:45:12 As I recall, Steve quoted a 7 degree tilt for his baffles. |
Title: Re: ZFM15 Back Tilt Post by KenD on 02/26/23 at 20:52:23 Thanks. Do you recall how Steve implemented that? It is not shown anywhere on the downloaded plans. |
Title: Re: ZFM15 Back Tilt Post by ArtMan on 02/27/23 at 18:01:57 Here is the link to the development of the speakers and a picture that might be helpful. https://www.decware.com/cgi-bin/yabb22/YaBB.pl?num=1561942815/1400 ![]() |
Title: Re: ZFM15 Back Tilt Post by KenD on 02/27/23 at 18:45:02 Thank you for this. The link was immensely helpful. A couple of things come to mind immediately: - my inclination (as noted in one post in the thread) would be to angle the face of the plinth/base that the baffle attaches to with a mild angle (say approx 7 degrees) and then adjust with supports from there. - with the baffle tilted back, it would seem that the feet/supports on the front become redundant. On another front, if the intention is that the baffle is attached to the plinth/base permanently, why not use dowels and glue? If it is to be removable when needed, machine screws and threaded inserts in the base might be a better long term solution (just don''t glue the button covers in place ;) |
