Building 2 Way SB Acoustic Speakers (Part 1) Using SB16PFC25-08 & SB19ST-C000-4

I had a planned since few months ago to build a new speaker for my stereo system.

This new speakers will replacing my current one here. The reason for this is because I want a speakers that can deliver wider audio frequency range and not only focusing on mid range like in the single driver full range speakers.

This project is very interesting because all of the driver are local made. I am using the SB Acoustic drivers which they are very well known speakers driver worldwide.

So here it is, all the drivers package that arrived yesterday.

The tweeter is SB19ST-C000-4

And the woofer is SB16PFC25-08

The tweeter impedance is 4 ohm and diameter for the voice coil is 3/4 inch.

The built quality for this driver is very good.

Mind the detail on the surround plastic that will attach to the box is covered with foam as the driver damping. Nice.

The woofer impedance is 8 ohm and the diameter is 6,5 inch.

The cone is made from paper and the surround suspension is made from rubber.

The basket is made from hard ABS plastic.

The design of this woofer is common, just like most of any driver in this price range. Nothing special here.

One of the uniqueness of this SB Acoustic driver is on the magnet shape that looks like a pyramid.

That is all for the drivers and for the next parts will be focusing on the crossover network, which in my opinion, this is the most difficult when building a speakers.

OPA1622 Vs. OPA627 High Performance Op-amps Comparison

This op-amps comparison topic is actually boring, but at the same time, many of us still curious about what others think about it. The reason is simply because of the op-amps variation are hundreds and they are depends by the implementation. The op-amps are considerably cheap and an interchangeable electronic components but they are not built for the same function. So in this discussion, I will focus on the modern Vs. vintage high performance op-amps in the simple non-inverting pre-amplifier gain stage.

Vintage Multibit R2R DAC Tier List

At the very beginning of this year, I committed to explore the best multi-bit R2R DAC. This is simply because I have plenty of the resources (from broken old unit CD player of course) and ability to build them up. If you think this kind a recycle from old un-used unit to become something useful, than I should stated myself giving contribute for greener world:) After all DAC that I built in this year, I think it is better for me to list them up again in one single page like this. Then I will rank them up in a simple tier list. The reason for this, so you all know what my opinion about of those vintage multibit R2R DAC especially in the sound quality.

TDA1543 DAC Review In 2021

It is a fine day and as usual I am reading and searching online contents related to almost anything I like. During my search, I stop to the few online forum discuss about a simple DAC using TDA1543 DAC IC. The discussion about this DAC was about 3 years ago, and the latest was about a year ago. Quite new and overall discussion about this DAC sound quality mostly are positive. It is interesting topic anyway especially I was built this TDA1543 DAC long time ago in 2016. At that time, I combine this DAC with Tripath amplifier here and here before it sold in 2019. That is also my first DIY DAC and I am quite enjoyed this DAC so much, at that time. The background story about this, previously I was using Sony Playstation SCPH-1002 as my reference CD Player. The reason I moved to this TDA1543 DAC is because the CD optic inside the Playstation is wear out and I cannot find the replacement for it. I pretty remember the sound quality of this TDA1543 DAC is quite comparable...
