Hints and Tips
CHOICE OF TIMBER
We 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 TECHNIQUE
All 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.
PORTING
The length and area of the ports as specified in the drawing should be strictly
adhered to.
ACOUSTIC INSULATION
To 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 NETWORK
This cabinet is designed as a passive unit, and adequate external signal
processing arrangements should be made to filter out high-frequency signals.
INTERNAL WIRING
Wiring 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 FIXING
The 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 PROTECTION
The 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.
Please contact Penn Elcom at www.penn-elcom.com to discuss their
standard and custom speaker grill solutions.
CABINET HARDWARE
We specify Penn-Elcom hardware products as recommend components in
the construction of FANE-loaded cabinets. Please visit www.penn-elcom.
com to view the full range of Penn Elcom products and discuss standard and
custom hardware solutions
CABINET FINISHING
Cabinet 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.pennelcom.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 Acoustics 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.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The Colossus 18XB is intended for use as a high-output sub-bass driver either singly
or in multi way systems. The unit features a 4 inch sandwich inside and outside
windings voice coil, immersed in a symmetric magnetic field and centralized by using
two suspensions in a dual arrangement to maintain ultra linearity and stability at high
excursions. The heavily ribbed straight-sided paper cone membrane is reinforced
with high-strength composite fibres to resist deformation under extreme loads. The
driver handles 1000 Watts (A.E.S.) continuous and can cope with peaks in excess of
4000 Watts. This is due to advanced thermal management in the form of a vented
die-cast chassis and motor system using an internal heatsink coupled to a large vaned
heatsink mounted on the rear of the unit. These measures effectively remove heat from
the voice coil resulting in extremely low-power compression. The Colossus 18XB is
designed for use in 100 to 250 litre ported enclosures.

FREQUENCY RESPONSE
The Colossus 18SB is intended for use as a high-output bass driver in multi way
systems. It 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 a large Xmax of 8.25 mm and laminated silicone
suspension, ensures tight, punchy 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 1000 Watts (A.E.S.) continuous and can cope
with peaks in excess of 4000 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 Colossus 18SB exhibits 100 dB sensitivity and can deliver bass down
to 35 Hz (-6 dB) in a 200 litre ported enclosure.
