CHOICE OF TIMBERWe recommend multi-layer 18mm Birch plywood as the best material to

withstand the rigours of intensive ‘life on the road’ or likely exposure to

damp conditions. Alternatively, 18mm Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF)

offers good acoustic properties with the advantage of being less expensive

(although heavier ), and may be used where the cabinet will be permanently

installed in a dry environment. Both materials accept any type of paint finish

extremely well.

CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUEAll joints should be totally airtight, liberally glued with PVA adhesive and

screwed at 200mm (8”) centres with 4.2mm or 4.8mm (No.8 or No.10) x

50 mm (2”) self-tapping screws. The bracing panels are designed to ensure

rigidity of construction, making the cabinet as free as possible from panel

resonances caused by the internal forces generated by the loudspeaker drive

unit and resulting in unwanted vibration and colouration of the sound. Again,

these joints should be glued and screwed using the same method.

PORTINGThe length and area of the ports as specified in the drawing should be strictly

adhered to.

ACOUSTIC INSULATIONTo aid panel damping and prevent internal reflections and standing waves, all

internal panels of the cabinet ( with the exception of the front baffle ) should

be lagged with acoustically absorptive material. We recommend the use of

acoustic foam wadding. This should be glued, stapled or tacked to the inside

of the cabinet, taking care to ensure that port tubes are not obstructed

CROSSOVER NETWORKThis cabinet is designed as a passive unit, and adequate external signal

processing arrangements should be made to filter out high-frequency signals.

INTERNAL WIRINGWiring should be kept away from moving loudspeaker parts and fastened to

internal panelling to avoid buzzing. We encourage the use of colour coded

wiring to identify polarity (red for +ve and black for -ve), and recommend

carrying out a phase check before first using the cabinet. This is achieved by

applying the positive terminal of a battery to the positive cabinet input which

should result in the speaker cone moving forwards if in phase (or by using a

dedicated polarity checker).

DRIVE UNIT FIXINGThe drive unit should be front mounted to the baffle using T-nuts and fixing

bolts, and is supplied with a length of self adhesive foam sealing strip which

should be fitted around the front edge of the speaker cut-outs to guarantee

airtight conditions.

LOUDSPEAKER PROTECTIONThe exposed front of all speaker drive units is of course vulnerable to damage,

necessitating some means of protection which must be robust but acoustically

transparent. Cloth/foam type grilles are feasible for fixed cabinets, but a metal

mesh grille is certainly the preferred and superior option. It is recommended

that a foam gasket material is used between the wooden cabinet and the

metal grille to prevent any unwanted resonances.

CABINET FINISHINGCabinet finishing is largely a matter of personal preference and as such, detail

of this is omitted from the drawing. Generally cabinets are either painted

or covered in carpet or vinyl material. If a carpet material is chosen it is

recommended that a very dense tight pile type is used and that metal corner

protectors are fitted. Corner protectors will have a defined radius that the

edges of the cabinet should be finished to. The cabinet shown on the first

page of this document has all the external edges routed with a 13mm radius

and coated in a hard wearing textured epoxy paint. Two steel carrying handles

have been fitted. There are various types of handles and terminal panels

available and again details of these have been omitted. It is recommended

that these be purchased and cutouts be made in an appropriate position in

the panels before final build. Be aware that handles and terminals are not

necessarily airtight, which will be detrimental to performance but can be

easily remedied using a silicone sealant or polyurethane mastic to seal all

joints. Contact Penn Elcom at www.penn-elcom.com to discuss their spray

coating, carpet and vinyl options

! WARNING !

There are safety regulations regarding the installation of loudspeaker

systems. This document is intended as a guide to construct a suitable

acoustic enclosure for our components. Fane can hold no responsibility for

the structural integrity of the finished system. The system will be no stronger

than the material it is made from and the joinery techniques used to assemble

it. Suspending the finished system will require additional hanging hardware.

There are companies who specialise in the manufacture and correct use of

this hardware. They are experts and must be consulted if overhead suspension

of the finished system is intended.

Facebook.com/FaneGB Instagram.com/FaneLoudspeakers linkedin.com/company/faneinternationalDISCOVER MORE AT WWW.FANE-INTERNATIONAL.COM


The Prime 18XS is intended for use as a high output bass driver in multi way systems and features a 4 inch ‘sandwich’ (inside and outside windings) voice coil, immersed in a symmetric magnetic field yielding increased linearity and lower distortion. This, coupled with laminated silicone suspensions, a large Xmax of 12mm with peak to peak travel of 60mm, ensures fast accurate bass at high levels of excursion. The cone membrane, manufactured from polycellulose, is much stronger and more durable than conventional paper pulp alternatives. This allows the driver to combine high-sensitivity with the

structural integrity required to produce undistorted low frequencies at extreme sound pressure levels. The driver handles 1200 Watts (A.E.S.) continuous and can cope with peaks in excess of 4800 Watts. This is due to advanced thermal management in the form of vented die-cast chassis and increased motor system venting. These measures effectively remove heat from the voice coil, resulting in extremely low-power compression. The Prime 18XS exhibits 100 dB sensitivity and can deliver bass down to 29 Hz (-6 dB) in a 200 Litre ported enclosure.
