Featured by AudioXpress

The Dayton Audio DATS LA Loudspeaker Analyzer has recently been featured in an in-depth review by AudioXpress, a respected platform in both high-end audio and professional loudspeaker development.

In their “Fresh From the Bench” article, they test the Dayton Audio DATS LA in real-world use and highlight its measurement capabilities for loudspeaker design and troubleshooting.

The DATS LA is a unit that belongs on the bench of any serious speaker builder or designer who wants to get detailed data on driver performance without mortgaging the house.

Some key points from the review:

• Integrated 100W AC/DC amplifier for small- and large-signal testing • Measures T/S parameters, impedance, Bl(x), and Kms(x) behavior • Patented DC-biased testing method for symmetry analysis • Automated cooling intervals during high-power testing • QA tool (Rub&Buzz test) for incoming QC tests, perfect for small speaker manufacts.

• Large-signal testing to analyze thermal compression and excursion behavior • Measured results closely matched CLIO and Audio Precision reference systems

AudioXpress also highlighted how the DATS LA provides insight into motor symmetry, suspension behavior, excursion limits, and force factor performance, capabilities typically associated with far more expensive measurement platforms.

A great read if you want to see how these measurement principles are applied in real loudspeaker engineering! 🔊🔥

Compact enclosure, smart design choices to get the max result from a small enclosure. 🔊⚡

We really like the thinking behind this DSP bookshelf speaker build, build by a customer of ours, who pushed the boundaries of DIY Audio. Everything about the project feels carefully considered to get the maximum performance out of a compact enclosure.

Each speaker uses Dayton Audio TCP115-4 midwoofers and Dayton Audio ND28F-6 tweeters. 2x side-mounted passive radiators per speaker and a Sure/Wondom JAB4 amp. board with ADAU1701 DSP. A setup focused on flexibility, controlled tuning, and efficient use of cabinet space.

Certainly also due to the TCP115 woofer, with an Fs of 55 Hz and Qts of 0.45, the TCP is the ideal woofer to combine with passives in a small enclosure, to extend low-end response. The passive radiators help extend the low-end performance without needing large ports, while DSP control gives precise adjustment over the entire system response.

What makes this build especially interesting is the fully active approach. Instead of using a traditional passive crossover, the system relies on DSP for crossover integration, EQ, level matching, and future expandability with an adjustable subwoofer output for a potential 2.1 setup.

Components used in this build:
• Dayton Audio TCP115-4 Midwoofers | 16.95 eur each
• Dayton Audio ND28F-6 Tweeters | 17.45 eur each
• Wondom/Sure Electronics JAB4 amp board | 64.95 eur each
Together, these components create a compact speaker system focused on controlled bass performance, DSP flexibility, and detailed sound from a small enclosure.

Awesome work , again thanks for sharing! 🙌

Would you choose a passive crossover or a fully DSP-controlled active setup? 👀👇 Let us know in the comments!

Isobaric done right 🔊🔥

We really like the approach behind this build. By using an isobaric woofer configuration, the design manages to keep the enclosure relatively compact while still delivering the kind of bass performance you’d normally expect from a larger cabinet.

It’s also great to see how much attention went into the overall look of the speakers. The clean grey-and-black finish works really well with the technical side of the design, making it feel like a complete project rather than just a test build.

Builds like this are a good example of how creative design choices and the right components can completely change what’s possible within a certain enclosure size.

Parts used in this build:
• SB Acoustics SB17NRX2C35-8 Norex Bass-midwoofer
• SB Acoustics SB26ADC-C000-4 Dome Tweeter
• SB Acoustics Passive Radiator
• Dayton Audio & Jantzen Audio x-over parts

Each speaker uses dual SB Acoustics SB17NRX2C35 woofers in an isobaric setup, combined with the SB26ADC-C000-4 tweeter and a custom 3D printed waveguide. A combination focused on controlled low-end, clean integration, and consistent dispersion.

Together, these drivers create a balanced system with deep bass performance, controlled response, and detailed high frequencies in a relatively compact design.

An extensive x-over is specially made for this design, with high-end parts from Dayton Audio & Jantzen Audio.

Great to see our components used in projects like this. Thanks for sharing your project on Instagram ! 🙌

Would you ever consider building an isobaric speaker design? 👀👇

Colorful on the outside, serious on the inside 🔊

We really like how this build balances design and performance. The bold color choice gives it an immediate visual impact, but the overall ex*****on stays clean and intentional. Nothing feels overdone, just a well-proportioned two-way speaker that clearly follows a thoughtful design approach.

What stands out most is how everything comes together as a complete system. The cabinet design, driver placement, and overall finish all work in the same direction, resulting in a speaker that feels both distinctive and well put together. It’s a good reminder that even a relatively straightforward concept can turn into something really complete when the details are considered properly.

- Dayton Audio RS180P-4 7” Woofer
- Dayton Audio RST28A-4 Tweeter

Together, these drivers form a balanced two-way system focused on clarity, detail, and controlled performance across the full frequency range.

Really appreciate you sharing this build with us u/samthecellarman (Reddit), 🙌🏼

First build, and already a solid result. 🔊

Always cool to see someone take that first step into DIY audio. Starting from an idea, figuring things out along the way, and ending up with something that actually plays. 🔥

What stands out here is how everything comes together into a working speaker. That moment where your build actually plays for the first time never gets old.

This build is based on the Argos: a well-known 5” two-way bookshelf kit, designed as a compact but capable entry into DIY speaker building. It has become a popular reference project within the DIY community for its balanced performance and straightforward design approach.

The FaitalPro 5FE120 used here is a 5” midwoofer with around 88 dB sensitivity and solid power handling, which helps this build deliver more output than you’d expect from a compact setup.

Thanks DownfallDingo for sharing your build on your Reddit account.

A custom subwoofer build, designed from the ground up. 🔊

We really like seeing projects like this, where an idea slowly turns into a fully developed design. This one started with a clear goal: build a compact subwoofer that still goes deep and stays controlled, and it’s great to see that idea carried through so consistently.

The build is based around the GRS 12SW-4HE driver in a ported 18 mm MDF enclosure. From the first simulations to the final CAD design, everything was developed step by step, with a clear focus on getting the tuning right rather than just making something that works.

In the end, it resulted in a 79.1 litre enclosure tuned to 21.5 Hz, with an f3 of 20.3 Hz and an f6 of 18.1 Hz. What we like here is that it’s clearly designed for controlled, deep bass rather than just raw output.

From cutting panels to assembling and sealing the cabinet, it’s a clean and well thought-out build, finished in semi-gloss black for a simple, solid look.

Powered by a M03 subwoofer amplifier and a Raspberry Pi DSP setup with dual DACs, everything comes together in a flexible and well-balanced system.

Great to see our components used throughout this projec, and even better to see them used in a build that’s been approached this carefully. 🙌

Parts used in this build:

• 12SW-4HE Subwoofer Driver
• Fosi Audio M03 Mono Subwoofer Amplifier
• Raspberry Pi 4 (DSP platform)

Thank you for sharing 🔥

How do you usually approach a subwoofer build? Do you start with the target sound, or the enclosure design? 👀👇

3D printed, but built for serious sound! 🔊

We really like how the enclosure is designed here. The built-in channels help get more out of a compact speaker. The Tang Band subwoofer delivers deep low-end, while the .audio full-range drivers handle mids and highs, this small setup really packs a punch.

The 3D print files for this build come frome which is a great example of how shared designs can help bring projects like this to life. It also shows how you can take an existing design and make it your own.

The amplifier and cable kit tie it all together, making it easy to fine-tune the sound and get the most out of the system.

Builds like this show how much you can do with 3D printing in DIY audio, turning compact components into a full-featured, well-balanced speaker.

Parts used in this build:
- Sure Electronics AA-JA33285 Amplifier Module 4x30W
- Sure Electronics AA-JA11117 Functional Cables Kit
- Tang Band W5-1138SMF Subwoofer
- Dayton Audio DMA80-4 Full-Range Driver (x2)

Nice to see our components used in projects like this. Thanks for sharing !

𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘀𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗽, 𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝘁. 🔊

We like how this build keeps things compact, but still pays attention to the details that matter, from the 3D printed enclosure to the DSP tuning behind it!

Combining a SEAS wideband driver with Audio passive radiators + SURE Electronics JAB3+ amplifier board makes for an interesting approach in a setup like this, especially for nearfield use.

It’s projects like these that remind us how much you can do within a small form factor, just by experimenting and refining along the way. 🔧 Love it!

Cool to see our components come together in builds like this. Thanks for sharing!

What would you experiment with in a setup like this? 👀👇

Another DIY 2-way speaker that proves great design doesn’t have to break the bank. Featuring Audio and Creative Sound Solutions drivers. 🔊

All materials arrived on time, so building and finishing this project was a lot of fun to do, according to the maker of this speaker.

Initial setup of the hi-fi speaker: a two-way speaker with a crossover point of 1000 Hz, including two passive radiators on both sides.

A clever trick: label everything of the x-over in advance so that when soldering, you know immediately which wire needs to be soldered where. 🛠️

A short sum-up:

Cabinet = 19 mm plywood.
Front, back and feet are milled from 30 mm American maple.

Woofers: Dayton Audio Epqique E150HE-44

Passive Rad: Dayton Audio DSA215-PR

Tweeter: CSS LD25X Silk Dome XBL2

Give these productpages a visit to get a lot more information about these drivers for speakerbuilding! It’s worth the visit, including a lot of measurements and extra details.

Many thanks to fjwdecorations for sharing this build with us!
