Acoustic systems AC-35 (S-90) are known as one of the best acoustic systems of pre-perestroika times. They were produced by different factories and in a slightly different configuration, without changing in essence. For the modification, systems 35AS-012 GOST 23262-88 of the Bryansk Electromechanical Plant, released in January 1990, were used. They contain speakers 75GDN-3-4, 20GDS-3-4, 10GDV-2-16 and are designed for a frequency range of 40-25000 Hz (resistance 4 ohms). The refinement made it possible to reduce the unevenness of the frequency response at medium frequencies and get rid of their characteristic “clicking” and sharpness at high frequencies by replacing the high-frequency head and mid-frequency damping. For the conversion we used Peerless 100 DT 26 72 SF FF WA 8 tweeters (catalog number 811827). Quite a good option, especially if you are not embarrassed by the prospect of spending about $53 on them, which is comparable to the cost of the S-90s themselves.

So, in the process of work, the following changes were made:

  • Replacing the HF head with an imported one
  • Installation of an insulating box for the HF head
  • Damping midrange head
  • Changing the crossover frequency
  • Replacing terminal blocks with screw connectors with the possibility of biwiring
  • Replacing the internal wiring of the speaker, sealing the cabinet, installing spacers

    As a result of these changes, the sound of the speakers has changed for the better. Gone are the "tsikka", whistling and whispering at high frequencies. The sound stage has expanded, acquiring greater depth and transparency. Low frequencies sounded more elastic and clear. The sound of the speakers has become more natural and natural.

    For replacement, a Peerless 811827 head with a magnetic fluid in the gap was chosen. Maximum power 130 W, impedance 8 ohms, resonant frequency 1130 Hz and sensitivity 92 dB. The external dimensions of this head are somewhat smaller than the standard one, and the impedance is two times lower. This led to the need to manufacture an isolated box for it and change the values ​​​​of the elements in the crossover circuit.

    The box was made of two squares (11x11cm) of 10mm plywood. A hole was cut out in one of the squares, with a diameter of 90 mm, and a small selection was made at the end, for signal wiring. In the second square, 4 holes are made for the head mounting screws or attachment points for screws are outlined. The squares, after laying the wire, are fastened with 4 small screws with a coating of the joint surface with plasticine for sealing, and with a coating of plasticine, they are installed coaxially with the hole for the HF speaker head from the inside. In the resulting box with a diameter of 90mm and a depth of 30mm, the HF head is installed. The head is installed through a thin rubber gasket on 4 screws or screws (at least 50 mm long). These screws finally tighten and fix the entire "package". Through the standard rubber gasket, a protective mesh and its fastening are installed on top.

    The damping of the midrange head consisted in sealing the windows in its basket with a strip of thin white calico. A strip of coarse calico 15 cm wide is glued into a pipe and glued to the base and ribs of the basket with moment glue. The second opening of the pipe is assembled and tied like a pouch.

    The crossover consists of three lanes. Alteration of the low-frequency part consists only in separating it from the other two filters and connecting a new block to separate terminals. The standard hole in the rear wall is enlarged to the size required for installing a new terminal panel.

    We reduce the frequency of the MF - HF section by 2 times. This means a 2-fold increase in the corresponding inductances and capacitances. In the midrange filter, these are L3 and C5. I had parts from similar crossovers, so I did not change the inductance L3 to twice as much, but simply connected another one, the same (Ls), in series. The capacitance of the capacitor C5 was 4 μF; to increase it, a capacitance Cs was connected in parallel, consisting of two MBGO-2 capacitors 2 μFx160v. In a high-pass filter, simply doubling the ratings is not enough. Given that the impedance of the RF head has halved, the capacitance must be doubled, and the inductance must be halved. The total inductance remains unchanged, and the capacitance increases by 2 times. In the original version, they were 2 μF (C4) and 2 μF (C1). Estimated 1 uF and 2 uF, new values ​​selected 2,25 uF and 0,75 uF. Instead of C10, a capacitor MBGO-3 1 μFx2v (Cn) is installed, and C10 is connected in parallel with C160, forming a total capacitance of 1 μF with it.

    The crossover frequency is reduced by a factor of 2 to 2500Hz, which is more than 2 times the resonant frequency of the HF head, and taking into account the third-order filter in the crossover, this makes it unnecessary to set the notch filter to the resonant frequency.

    A lot has already been written about replacing internal wiring, sealing the case, installing spacers and spikes, these are all standard techniques. I just want to add that in the final construction, not only a marble slab under the spikes was used, but also a second slab with the dimensions of the upper plane AC, glued to it from above.

    Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

    In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

    Petgugu Global cat litter 15.04.2024

    The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

    The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>
