In late 2006 – ’07 a small group of enthusiasts collaborated to develop a compact, inexpensive corner-horn design for the DIY community. This project became the very successful Frugel-Horn, which even spawned an extremely expensive commercial adaptation.

The Frugel-Horn Mk3 [FH3] is a well tested design, with the objectives of improving upon the performance of the original box in a substantially simpler cabinet that would be tolerant of a wide range of drive units. Topologically, it is a tapped hypex corner-horn (approximated by 2 conical sections) with an internal choke serving as a low pass filter. The curved terminus is carried over from Ron Clarke's contribution to the original cabinet, and helps the wavefront exiting the horn mouth to return to its more natural spherical shape.

The cabinet has to date been successfully tested with Fostex FE126En, FE126e, FE127e, FF105wk, FF125wk, FE138eSR*, Mark Audio CHR-70, CHP-70, Alpair7, A7.3, A7p, Pluvia Seven, CSS EL70, Tangband W5-1611, more.  Any 4-5" (100-130mm) driver is worth trying. Adjustment & tuning of the cabinet is accomplished with varying amounts of damping, and proximity to rear boundary walls / corners.

* (this driver does bass really well in FH3, but has other issues which preclude it being recommended)

FH3 is made freely available for DIY builders to make their own cabinets; we see it as an introduction to back-loaded horns, from which people may wish in future to move on to larger and / or more complicated designs.

The 1st supraBaffle turned out to be awkward, a simpler supraBaffle. Defectors have been sketched but interest has not pushed its completion, doubling as a stealthWoofer a bit greater.

Note: any commerical entity intent on manufacturing complete speakers or flat-paks for resale will need to follow the guidelines on the Frugal-Horn site: www.frugal-horn.com/use.html

Comments & tips pulled form forum posts ———————————————————————————————

Bob Brines:Taking Colin!s diagram !sheet C"#$" here is how I would one#man it out of a $x% panel&

'& Build yourself a T#square cutting guide out of scrap material& You can (nd the instructions out there on the Internet&

''& I have a )!x*! sacri(cial table top on a pair of saw horses& I can still manage to get a $x% sheet of plywood on it" but I can no longer get a sheet of MDF on it& For MDF" I just drop the sheet on the driveway and put $ +x$!s under it&

,& With a circular saw" cut o- the $ ,$'mm pieces&

+& Cut between the remaining doubled pieces&

)& Now you can rip the individual pieces on a table saw as long as you can rig some kind of out.ow table& I have a jig that (ts my router table so that it can double as an out.ow table for the table saw& Of course" if you don!t have a table saw" you can do this with a circular saw and the rip fence you made above&

You can get the two cross cuts done at Lowes!/HD 0speaking to the USA now1" but my experience is that their panel saws are not square in any axis and I have to re#cut the ends& Also" the utility blade in their saw really tears up the cut& I have a *' tooth blade in my circular saw that does an acceptable job& Not as good as the %' tooth blade in my table saw" but acceptable&

That!s my technique& YMMV&

Bob———————————————————————————————

PDRCanada:Another tip for cutting sheet goods on saw horses&&&&&&

Go to your nearest hardware store buy a +!x$! pc of + or )2 white styrofoam and a roll of duct tape&

Cut the stryo to match the top of your saw horses&&&&&&use the duct tape to fasten it around the top of the horse&

You can now cut your sheets with out hanging them over the saw horses& Just cut thru the styro&&&&&make sure your styro is deeper than your saw cut&

When the styro gets beat up&&&remove and replace&

This method is used on jobsites all over to cut large panels&———————————————————————————————

Poultrygeist:A3er much frustration in searching for ,/+ 4 0 ,+mm 1 cotton or wool felt I found an unlimited supply at my local auto junk yard& The carpet backing from ,55'!s Fords is ,/+ inch thick" works great and costs nothing& Had it not been up for sale I would have scavenged my own Mustang but instead I found a F,6' donor which surrendered enough felt for a herd of horns&

To fabricating a side panel template by hand, the curve can easily be drawnusing a narrow flexible board (1/4" MDF works great) and the 4 points asdimensioned .

Mark points A,B (chord ends), C (chord centre line) and D (segment height)on the work-piece. Use a square to draw a perpendicular line (C-D)

Clamp or screw a wood block straddling the centreline at D, clamp theflexible board to this block and each end of the chord ( A & B) then drawthe curve.

Cut to the outside with jig or band saw, and carefully sand to line

As originally designed

A difficult piece to cut

Modified for easier build

Adds an additional piece, not all that tolerent of thicker material

Alternateeasier build

Overcomes material thickness issues. Requires extra material – 1/2 round with radius of build material

Note: example uses 15mm material

this is the area subject to additional poly-fluff damping, depends on driver

Notes:

to Subscribers: Centre channel enclosures have special constraints related to available space as near the display screen as possible (generally immediately below or above). This centre is designed for minimum height and minimum depth (without introducing more complex vents). If you have other specific requirements, contact me and i’ll morph the design to more closely fit your needs. For installations needing a smaller box, there is the slightly smaller cMarS Centre (not drawn as of this note) and considerably smaller Alpair6m (coming soon)

Notes:0/ A centre channel based derivative of the Mar-Kel70 designed for modified Creative Sound/Mark Audio EL70, will work well with stock driver1/ All panels 15mm2/ brace shape is only suggestive – prime purpose is to brace driver, it needs to be about 35-40% holes. (ie if you have to mount a terminal cup in the middle, you’ll want to make sure the brace allows clearance), It is centrally mounted on the driver magnet3/ Don’t forget to angle cut the back of the driver cut-out to give it breathing room4/ All internal panels lined with ~1/2” (12mm) cotton or wool felt (preferred), 3/4” (19mm) poly-fluff batting, or 1” (25mm) fiberglass Note that it is hard to get into the box a7er it is sealed up (means terminals need to be solderable from outside the box as well)
