Autograph Design Plans (copies kindly provided by M. J. Rajiv of India, and Alain Kobsch of France.) These plans show the extreme complexity of the horn development system within the Autograph enclosure. There are many, many parts to be made, and it would be a challenging task to build a cabinet. The plans here are presented for interest. I cannot say how practical it would be to build a cabinet from them, and I cannot attest to the accuracy of completeness of the plans. Drawing-1; Drawing-2; Drawing-3; Drawing-4; Drawing-5; Drawing-6; Drawing-7 Autograph Crossover The rear horn-loding of this enclosure increases the efficiency of the LF driver section of the dual concentric. The front horn loading of the drive unit also assists to increase the efficiency of the LF unit. To obtain increased output from the HF-compression driver (to match the increase output from the LF driver), a modified crossover is required that drives the HF-unit harder. This is acheived through the use of an auto-transformer, making the HF-unit appear to have a lower impedance than it actaully does,which in turn will mean that more power is delivered to it for a given output voltage from the amplifier. The use of the standard Monitor Gold crossover in conjunction with the Autograph enclosure will give a subdued treble response. Likewise, the use of Monitor Red or Monitor Silver in this enclosure will require a special crossover to be built for the HF-unit. The Monitor-HPD crossover could be modified from its original design, as it already has the tapped auto-transformer used in the Monitor Gold crossover. Another approach would be to bi-amplify the system, thus making proper calibration between HF and LF easy to obtain. Note that the equalisation circuit from within the original crossover for the HF unit will still be required (ie: all those parts after the auto-transformer).
