Zaph|Audio SB12.3 ~ SB Acoustics 12", Dual Midrange, 3-Way, Parts Only
Price shown is for a PAIR
Madisound is pleased to bring you our big SB Acoustics 3-Way kit, the SB12.3. We often receive requests for large and in charge speaker systems.
This kit is our hi-fidelity answer. Once again we teamed up with John Krutke of Zaph Audio for his skilled design work. This kit is fully documented
on the SB12.3 page on the Zaph Audio website.
SB Acoustics drivers have quickly established themselves as serious performers within the DIY speaker building community. We feel this line of
drivers is a perfect choice for a high performance 3-Way design. There is no concession in the driver selection or crossover design, yet the final price
is more than reasonable for a system of this stature.
Each speaker is anchored by a 12” SB34NRX75-6 woofer for bass duty. This woofer features a stiff paper cone with 3” voice coil, an open structure
cast frame, huge ventilation through the pole piece, and 11mm of X-max. The SB34NRX is a Madisound favorite and does not disappoint here in a
sealed box alignment.
Critical midrange duty is carried by a pair of 5” SB15NRXC30-8 drivers. These units feature the same proprietary composition paper cone and a
similar open structure cast frame. The extended length copper clad pole piece helps enable very low distortion through its frequency range. The
SB15NRXC already has quite the DIY following for mid/bass duty, and we are excited to implement it as a dedicated midrange in this project.
High frequency reproduction is performed by the SB29RDC-C000-4 ring dome tweeter. This is the flagship tweeter of the SB Acoustics line and one
of the best tweeters we know of. The SB29RDC features a unique fabric ring dome with large roll surround, a low resonant frequency, and a smooth

Crossover Information:
Crossover parts were carefully selected for both high quality sound reproduction and adequate power handling. The series circuits feature a low DCR
Sledgehammer 15 AWG Steel Laminate inductor for the woofer, Solen Fastcap & Sidewinder 16AWG Air Core inductors for the midrange, and Clarity
SA Caps for the tweeter. Mundorf MOX resistors are also used throughout the tweeter circuit and in series with the midrange. The crossovers are
professionally assembled on three circuit boards. The midrange is on a Matrix Double, and the woofer and tweeter are each on a Matrix. You can bi-
wire/amp or even tri-wire/amp the SB12.3 if you desire.
Crossover Upgrade Options: (as described above, but with the following changes)
Clarity ESA Caps in the tweeter circuit
Mundorf M-Cap Supreme caps in the tweeter circuit
Clarity PX Caps in the series midrange circuit
Clarity PX Caps in the series midrange circuit & Clarity ESA Caps in the tweeter circuitClarity PX Caps in the series midrange circuit & Mundorf M-Cap Supreme caps in the tweeter circuit
Miscelaneous Notes:
Cabinets are not available for this kit through Madisound. The speakers are simply too large to make this logistically possible. Tyler Acoustics built
the walnut veneer cabinets you see here and he is willing to build this for people who are interested. You can choose your own veneer and he will
quote accordingly. Please contact Tyler directly.
Each cabinet uses 3.5 pounds of Acousta-Stuf internal fill. Use 3 pounds in the main woofer chamber and ½ pound in the midrange chamber. You
should also line the rear wall and side walls of the cabinet with acoustic foam sheets. These damping materials are included with the optional
accessories package.
We recommend using the TD-CUP dual binding post input cup, and it is supplied with the optional accessories package. Run one set of wires from
the bottom set of binding posts to the woofer crossover. Then run one set of wires from the top set of binding posts to the midrange crossover - and
jumper a set of wires to the tweeter crossover from there. Another option is to run a TD-CUP and a standard input cup, or 3 sets of binding posts onthe back of your speaker. You would then wire each crossover to its own set of binding posts.
The SB12.3 rounds out the Zaph line of Madisound kits, giving you multiple kit choices from best lines of drivers available. If this specific kit doesn’t
suit your project goals, please consider the new ZA5 family of kits or an established favorite; the Seas SR71 or Scan-Speak ZRT.
