The Vance Dickason LDC6 Studio Monitor Kit

The LDC6 is a compact high-end studio monitor kit designed by speaker design guru himself Vance Dickason (right). Vance is not only known as an engineer who uses mathematics, analyzers and theory. He has an in depth understanding of music and the way it should sound. He designed this kit to be an outstanding performer in terms of presentation, clarity, detail and overall musicality. It's designed to accurately reproduce sound with neutral detail for monitoring and mixing applications in a studio. This system utilizes the state of the art in speaker technology with drivers from Scan-Speak. The kit contains the exceptional D2905 Revelator tweeter 276-514 and the compact yet very strong and accurate 18/8545k00 woofer 296-526.

The target crossover point for the tweeter was a third order filter at 2kHz; this takes advantage of the fact that tweeters tend to sound more open crossed at 2kHz or lower. The D2905 is a very robust tweeter and has no problem playing this low even at high SPL levels. There is a second order filter on the Woofer also at 2kHz. This crossover design yields a flat summation for the tweeter and woofer.

The cabinet is a acoustic suspension design with a net internal volume of .28 cubic feet with internal dimensions (HWD) of 12.5" x 6.5" x 7.125" with substantial interior bracing. All sides and back are 0.75" MDF and the front baffle is 1.125" with inset drivers. The cabinet is filled with 100% Acousta-Stuf polyfill (Item #260-317). It is recommended to separate both high-pass and low-pass crossovers due to space restraints. This method will also eliminate crossover coupling between inductors.
