any info on fostex UP163 ?
 

Hello,

Does anyone has info on this single cone alu dome fullrange driver ?

It seems to be the fostex equivalent for Coral 6F60 ?

I need any info on the recommended enclosure or any idea ...

Regards to all,

Lagroute

any idea guys ?

T/S parameters? What sort of music do you listen to, how large is your room, how large an enclosure or any female in your life can you / she stomach? What sort of enclosure would you like? We can help, but you're going to have to give us a bit more information to work on / with.

Yes I need T/S , efficiency and other parameters for this driver. Since it's an old Fostex model, I can't find theese parameters.

Thanks,

Lagroute

up ! pleaseeeeee help !

Well, I can't find any parameters. Guys?

Someone finally got some. :D
In my 1981 Fostex catalogue:
Efficiency 90 dB
fr ~45 Hz
Cone weight (mms?) 9,5 g
Q-factor (Qts?) 0,5
Magnet weight 830 g
Power handling 32 W
recommended volume 34 l

I will scan the spl/impedance diagram and full data for the recommended enclosure over the weekend and publish them in this thread.

Fostex did not publish full TSP in those days. So don´t ask me for more TS parameters.


BTW: Have you already got the UP 163 or do you need picture and driver dimensions too?

You likely won't find the parameters, and even if they exist on a piece of paper (factory spec) or someone has measured those drivers, the natural drift of T/S over time will be unlikely to coincide with where yours are now.

Nothing to do but get out the kit and measure them.

Thanx for proving me wrong Rudolf :)

If you want to scan that whole thing, i'll make a pdf and put it up on the net...

Thanks this is what I need.

I fact I managed to find one brand new pair of these speakers ( incredible to find a new pair more than 20 years after !)

As I own FE206ESR and I really like them, I figured that I don't really need thoses UP163 and that it would be better to let someone else play with them.

They are now on ebay (I don't know if it is a good idea to put the ebay link) and those who will buy them will need the T&S so I asked here.

Thanks again guys
