Tdk nxt speakers

TDK's new Tremor XA10 speakers are remarkable value for thirty bucks, but sound quality gets a bit sharp and they have no bass at all. They look kind of neat and given they provide such a cheap, compact and ingenious solution to anyone looking for speakers for their portable music player we figure they'll be attractive to many. TDK is a champion of NXT's flat-panel speaker technology and this is the company's latest foray into it. Sound is generated by vibrating the surface of the speaker, meaning none of the depth of a traditional speaker is needed. You can feel this if you put your finger very lightly against the speaker surface as it plays.

TDK turns to NXT for new flat-panel multimedia speaker system


Read times. Pages: Odal3 Full Member Posts: » Gallery. It's rather cheap to experiment unless you use expensive panel materials. As can be seen from this thread, there are many ways to get good sound with DML. I agree with Pol's statement that larger area definitely give you better low end. However, I tried some larger panels but they were visually too large for my room so I have been using smaller panels with a sub instead. I have been more than happy with the result.

There have been a few others that have also posted good results as well. I wouldn't go too small though since you would then have to cross them too high and miss out on the excellent DML bass. I good compromise for me has been 2 x4 ft panels. I can't remember the exact cross over point I have at the moment but I think it's around 50hz. I currently also have an even smaller pair for the family room only used for TV and movies. It works OK for movies but I do miss better bass when playing music.

Best of luck and have fun! Member Posts: Odal3 said There have been a few others that have also posted good results as well. I was thinking H- frames for compact bass. This would match with a panel of around 16" wide x 20" high could stretch higher. How do those dimensions sound? That is compact enough for me.

That is loud enough for most purposes and I find myself turning it down at times. It is extremely clear and extends to high frequencies. Of course the bass is limited, but it does nice mid- bass. It is about 6" x 14". They are designed to be used with a sub running up to about hz. They sound OK supported by a single sub. I was just hoping to get slightly higher SPLs to give me a bit of overhead for just the impulse you have mentioned, drum rim shots, cymbals etc.

BTW what do you do to reduce the background jungle noises? I guess they are no worse than a wife and kids or suburban lawn mowing etc BTW I had considered the 2" BMR speakers in a line array, but I will try my panels first. Member Posts: 89 » Gallery. Quote from: Odal3 on 9 Jan , pm. Hope this is of some help. Wires A little late but Thank you for posting this ,some great information.

Member Posts: » Gallery. Any new developments? J Gale I have been a little distracted with births deaths and weddings,so no new developments ,hopefully will be more normal.

J Gale I have though, read a lot of the old patents from WIRES post,one of them us A is very similar to my ply panel,this was patented in the early 60s it seems I have re-invented the wheel again could have saved my self a lot of trouble if I had read this in the 70s or even heard them,sound boards have been around since the late 20s at least,seems no one took them seriously no change there then.

Another thing that I thought was interesting ,was shelley katz and his, layered sound , using a separate drive unit to produce longitudinal sound waves to blend in with the transverse waves produced by dml panels,this I think is essential for hard rigid panels ,shelley states that it is impossible to propagate longitudinal waves with a resonating panel loudspeaker,sticking my neck out ,I would say that the panel radiates directly longitudinal waves from the area of the exciter but not as efficiently as the transverse waves on the panel,you do get beaming from the exciter area.

As for the less rigid panels ,as most of mine are,they radiate more from the central area and less from the panel area ,the less rigid and thinner you go,this is my way of blending the sound without using a separate driver.

The ear does very strange things,I know my ply panels put out plenty of hf up to and above 20k but they tend to sound a bit lifeless, very good but something is missing,I thought this when I heard the podiums first launched ,as well as other DML s I had heard,at first they sound really good but then after a little while you start to think mmmmm something is missing.

For pro use say an acoustic guitar for instance on stage does not necessarily need depth and space and imaging but an accurate reproduction of the guitar. But our home audio is a different matter we need to hear and feel ,almost ,the depth and the ambience ,this is where I feel rigid dml alone has a problem,they radiate from a very large area on the big panels,we think the sound is very good but our ears are very annoyingly saying that something isn't right,our ears are very sensitive and our brain is trying to sort it all out,wether this harks back to when we used our ears to protect us from danger or to find our prey.

That's enough of that,anyway,getting back to thinner lighter panels ,the art of finding or designing a panel that combines dml and direct radiated by blending the efficiency of the two was my goal,but adding a second driver could be the easy option as you wouldn't lose the low end output,I'm talking single exciters per panel here. Hopefully this is something for everybody to think hard about as it is very important. Hope this has been helpful after my long break.

The right one had a slight buzz that was set off by certain midrange frequencies although its low and high frequencies were excellent. I couldn't resist opening up this speaker as I figured I could not listen to it in that condition.

I thought you all might be interested in its construction. Perforated metal front and back. Aluminium honeycomb panel covered both sides by thinsolid cardboard or thick paper that seemed rigid when tapped with a fingernail.

Thickness around 4 mm. Panel suspension all around was black rubber foam about mm thick, like weather seal for doors. Very thin foam strip at top, bottom and both sides between back of panel and frame.

Exciter rigidly mounted to rear of frame. At approx Monacor NXT position 1. After replacing the foam I re-assembled the speaker, plugged it into system and played some more music. It matchedthe left speaker and sounded pretty good. Panels were about 20 X 25 cm 8 X 10". I judged XO point to sub at around Hz. They produced a very clear centre phantom image and stereo spread.

Ozzi Smaller panels do have a much better central image and space,but the down side is they loose the large scale performance of of the larger panels ,still not shure which I will finally end up using ,maybe just keep rotating them if and when I feel like it,it's that easy.

Some pics of the inside of the TDK panel would be good if you can,if you go into my gallery under pics you will see a 2mm approx 12x9 inch Poly panel with the exciter mounted on to a wood stand,it can be they easy.

There are a few others in the gallery that might be of interest. I find a 10 watt exciter more than enough to drive small panels,but don't be tempted to use a lower wattage,with proper treatment to the panel I have had no problem filling the room with sound,as long as you have a sturdy driver to fill in the low end to complement the sound,I have tried lower quality subs and it didn't work,I would also suggest trying to get a low end driver that could help fill in the lower midrange to help drive the room better ,otherwise they could sound a little thin,form how you describe the TDK panel I would expect a thin ish or even a not so thin poly panel to be a lot louder for the same watts.

By the way ,the 12x9 inch panels were from the poly base of a pizza ,yum yum,I have quite a collection now it's free if you don't mind eating a lot of pizzas. All the best Steve. Hi Sedge, up until now I have been mainly listening to these small panels in the near field so it is a bit more difficult to experience the full effect of DML panels.

I have listened to larger panels, maybe 24X36", driven by Dayton 25W exciter from a greater distance and away from walls and they work well to give a feeling of depth, width and feeling that you are IN the space where the recording was made. Of course this works best where the original recording was done in true stereo ie: with two mics or a well engineered multi-mic setup. I have found that live or concert recordings sound good on panels. A lot of modern recordings, especially pop, are really panned, close-miked mono recordings with all sorts of added reverb, compression etc.

I don't think DML panels perform at their best with that type of recording. For that reason I believe I need two types of speaker systems easily switched depending on the type of music. Here is apic of the panels I am playing with.

Sorry I don't want to pull them apart again, it took a bit of fiddling to get the repaired panel to sound the same as the other good one. Cheers Sorry about the upside-down image, taken with iPad. OZZI The TDK panels you describe are obviously a heavily damped and enclosed panel ,a diy panel would easily out perform them ,you will have to do a lot of experimenting to achieve the sound you prefer. I believe that a lot of the problem of modern studio recordings sounding bad on poly panels is down to the panel not being able to drive the room in the hz to hz or higher depending on the panel,this is caused by the room and panel cancellations,even if the near field plot looks great ,if you can ,running the low end driver up into this area will sort out this problem,obviously it helps if you have some way to measure the panels response at a distance into the room.

Rigid panels don't seem to suffer so much from this problem ,but it still has to be monitored just in case. Fidel Costar Jr. Member Posts: 6. And I have the intuition that I should use some kind of wood spruce, birch, bamboo?

What do you think? What wood, what shape, what thickness, what exciter? Sedge said The TDK panels you describe are obviously a heavily damped and enclosed panel ,a diy panel would easily out perform them ,you will have to do a lot of experimenting to achieve the sound you prefer.

The fact that both brands need a subwoofer tells me that most customers would not accept a very large panels to get a full audio spectrum. The commercial examples of single panel designs such as Podium are large and the multi-thousand Euro Goebel DMLs resort to multiple cone drivers to fill in the bottom octave or two. Hobbyists can build panels as large as they like and experiment as much as they like to achieve their desired goal.

I think Fidel Costar is on the same wavelength as myself. I intend using the smaller panels I have for mid-tweeters where they are incredibly sweet sounding and produce that ambience that is difficult to achieve with cone type speakers. I might try very thin plywood laminated on both sides with some tissue or fibreglass and very thin epoxy as bass panels, but I am not too optimistic about the result unless I make them fairly large.

I personally think very thin plywood is preferable to the same thickness wood. Look at the Goebel lodspeaker and you can see that they use end-grain balsa wood for its lightness and stiffness front to back of panel.

Then they coat it with probably very thin chopped strand mat fibreglas and epoxy resin. The slits they use around the panel edges are also described in the NXT patent, although briefly. Btw I would like to hear more about those picture-frame panels and how the panels are mounted to the frames.

Cheers Ozzi. Fidel First, I think you need to sort out what size panel you think you can handle in your room,this will give an idea of the best type of panel material for the job.

TDK's Tremor satellites, at an inch deep, are almost fat by NXT standards. TDK says it's a design decision -- the drivers themselves are flat.

The Xa cuboid brings a 3. So if you've got a thing for cubes , you'd best start saving for the August 21 drop date. Here's why the stock will probably soar even more tomorrow -- but shouldn't.

All featured a powered subwoofer and two satellites sporting the then new NXT SurfaceSound technology.

With PCs sneaking out of the spare room and into the lounge, it's no longer enough that their speakers sound good; they need to look good, too. And TDK's latest Tremor speakers fit the latter requirement very nicely indeed. A little too busy, in fact, as you'll most likely want to turn down the bass to avoid drowning out the rest of the track, even at its default setting. Although you can change this easily enough with the supplied infrared remote control, any adjustments are lost when you turn off the speakers, so we'd suggest you use your playback software's equaliser to avoid having to reset your preferences every time. That said, the main advantage of the NXT driver system is that it delivers nearly omni-directional sound, and the speakers prove extremely effective at room-filling audio. This means you needn't restrict yourself to just a PC connection.

I just read some older posts about BMR balanced mode radiators? Apparently all BMR drivers are made under licence to NXT who have changed their name to something else, maybe bought out, who knows. I am thinking OB as the panels seem to be Dipole radiators with partly vented rear. By themselves they are reasonably clear and undistorted although lacking in bass and easily overdriven as FR speakers.
