Since one of the main goals of this project was versatility, I wanted to develop a cabinet design that could be used either stand mounted or as a stage fl oor monitor. From looking at some existing cabinets and designs, I came up with a fl at front design with a combination of 50 and 40 degree rear angles. While these angles are less extreme than on many fl oor monitors, I found that they are good angles for mediumdistance stage monitoring use.

The overall cabinet height and width were based on what would fi t the #269-970 surplus perforated metal grill. If these grills are still available, I highly recommend that you pick up a pair to use in your project, as they provide very professional looks and great protection for the drivers. The overall cabinet height is 24", width is 15-1/2", and the depth is 16"; net internal volume is approximately 1.8 cu. ft. The cabinet is tuned to about 50 Hz via a 4" diameter by 4" length port.
