Help Dave/Planet 10

Hi Dave can you help me with identifying these 6inch drivers, very small voice coil and Alnico slug but sound quite good and loud enough for most uses.

looks like the mid driver for old sonic japanese speaker.

Moondog55 · 8th November 2008, 06:00 AM

Yes, I bought it as such.
Was after more info if possible such a date of manufacture Fs etc Also worth keeping as treasure or just for fun, some of the Sonics range were very good speakers, others so-so, but I used it OB

National/Panasonic -- the shiny cloth dustcap and the "P-6..." (AES- is another) are the give-away.

I had those in '02. Like a lot of the chessy looking FR in its niche surprisingly good sound. Suited for use as a midtweeter in an OB. They'd probably fetch $10-15 on eBay, probably worth more as a bribe to some kid... mow my lawn and you can help me whip up a set of speakers for you (after you use them for EnABL practise)

Mid-tweeter??

planet10 · 8th November 2008, 09:08 AM

I call anything used FR but cut-off below 100-300 Hz a mid-tweeter, (with a helper woof)

dave

Moondog55 · 8th November 2008, 09:20 AM

OK that use I understand, these go 250/300 --->> with a tweeter up the top from around 10K

And using high Q woofers
Whoops !! any follow up will be in Loudspeakers not FR
Thanks Dave
Regards
Ted
