Suggested/Modeled Enclosure Sizes 02_june_14

each metronome is determined by a height (L), a closed end area (So), an open end area (Sl), a driver offset (Zd), and a terminus/port size -- numbers in brown underneath are possible WxD )check to make sure driver fits). Internal imensions are given in inch2/mm2, with the aspect used in the model underneath. Circular terminus/port is diameter x length (inch/mm).

Notes:

0/ clik the links (below) to see larger, more detailed plans

1/ the terminus exit needs to have an exit to the outside world. In the examples the base of the pipe is raised by the amount of the port diameter.

2/ Feel free to play with the aspect ratio of the start & finish rectangles -- make sure you leave enough room to mount the driver & fit the magnet.

3/ A bipole can be made by taking a monopole, double So & Sl, and double the area of the port (leaving the length the same)

4/FE167e & FE207e fit in the same box (with the exception of the size of the port). Gif file is
preliminary drawing is for FE207, shorten the port to 2" (51mm) for the Hemp FR8.
