Custom Apex C with Wavecor mid and LDW7 woofers

Bob sold the line arrays and I have been working with the customer to build a center channel..AS I no longer have my wood shop and sold off all my tools in 2009.This means have to re tool for odd jobs.Normally I only do test cabinets, that is all I have time for now adays.But this customer wants me to build the center and match the Sapele veneer on the line arrays.With that I took the challenge but also let the time frame account for limited time I have in the progress.

The Center channel is based on my Apex C which was first designed with Dan Wiggins at Adire with Extremis woofers a pair of WR125S and my ribbon RA104.5 from Aurum Cantus.This center later changed to use the FR125S for mid woofers matched with SDX7 woofers.

Original APEX C in the old Adire show room.





My old cabinet plan for the Apex C which can be front or rear slot port.If rear slot porting just center the driver layout.I am making many changes to this design from the original, this just gives you a little insight.





Below you can see the Original Apex C in the front and the line arrays I am speaking of which my customer has purchased from Bob in the back ground







Side view of the array when I was building them.This photo the veneer I will be applying to the new center channel to match it.

More to follow I had a customer contact me about a center channel.With his current main speakers being the Lambda plus line array which use 8 WR125ST plus 6 Aurum Cantus ribbons sitting on top of a pair of 8" woofers.These line arrays I did for Bob and we took to RMAF in 2004.Bob sold the line arrays and I have been working with the customer to build a center channel..AS I no longer have my wood shop and sold off all my tools in 2009.This means have to re tool for odd jobs.Normally I only do test cabinets, that is all I have time for now adays.But this customer wants me to build the center and match the Sapele veneer on the line arrays.With that I took the challenge but also let the time frame account for limited time I have in the progress.The Center channel is based on my Apex C which was first designed with Dan Wiggins at Adire with Extremis woofers a pair of WR125S and my ribbon RA104.5 from Aurum Cantus.This center later changed to use the FR125S for mid woofers matched with SDX7 woofers.Original APEX C in the old Adire show room.My old cabinet plan for the Apex C which can be front or rear slot port.If rear slot porting just center the driver layout.I am making many changes to this design from the original, this just gives you a little insight.Below you can see the Original Apex C in the front and the line arrays I am speaking of which my customer has purchased from Bob in the back groundSide view of the array when I was building them.This photo the veneer I will be applying to the new center channel to match it.Drivers used for this project areRT2 ribbon tweeter New from CSS2 Wavecor 120 midranges2LDW7 woofersOk the center is in progress cut out for mid woofer 4" ID test boards to make sure of driver fit.:clap:3/8" rab bittest fit for flushmountOK rear view of double thick .75" bafflesround over on the rear right now is only .75" must go get a larger round over bit todayMore to follow
