Dayton Audio Karlson Style Speaker

These are a pair of drivers made to look like vintage Karlson speakers although the front baffle is completely optional.

These are a WIP and will be updated in the future

I don't recommend you print these in ABS unless you are the god of bed adhesion.

I used paint-on supports in prusaslicer for the main body and none for the other parts.

I designed them for this driver:

But I have made an adaptor for this one:

Update 1:

If you want to print the one with screwable sides you will need per speaker:

Karlson_Speaker_Side_Plate_Voroni_Screwable.stl X1

Karlson_Speaker_Screw_Side_Plate_Parts.stl X2

Karlson_Speaker_Gasket X2

See the picture for where to glue the screw parts, I used 5-minute epoxy to glue them in place.

Update 2:

The open baffle PS95 is here!

This update just sits loosely on top of the speakers and adds a nice sparkle and widens the soundstage.

What you need per speaker:

Karlson_Speaker_PS95_Holder_Cup.stl X1

Karlson_Speaker_PS95_Holder_Clamp.stl X3

Karlson_Speaker_PS95_Holder_Bracket.stl X1

Karlson_Speaker_PS95_Holder_Sides.stl X1

Karlson_Speaker_PS95_Holder_Top.stl X1

Use some blue-tack to hold them in place if you want.

I would also recommend printing a set of feet in TPU to angle the drivers towards you.

I used these bolts to clamp onto the back of the magnet to hold the driver in place:

I quite like the industrial look but it's up to you, the holes in the cup are designed to fit a 6mm bolt.

Check my other post(s) for the subwoofer featured in the cover photo.
