External tweeter

Raka · 27th January 2003, 06:17 AM

Hi,

Could someone give me information about any external tweeter, ala BW or similar?
I would like to study the possibility to fit one in my project.

Thanks

I have seen other projects where they put a "conventional" tweeter in a open-baffle on top of the enclosure. I think it has something to do with influence of the woofer, the displaced air of the woofer can't affect the tweeter.

Why do you need one?

Raka · 27th January 2003, 07:51 AM

I'm trying to study the time alignment and the difraction response, but with a ready made tweeter. The adapting housing would considered as an alternative.

Any manufacturer builds this?

Swan (i think its them) build a little "pod" tweeter, and there are neo tweeters from Audax* (Morel too IB, probably others) that aren't much bigger than the dome that would be ideal for mounting in a small, minimum diffraction housing.

*TM010A1, TM010A7, TW014B5 & the TM025C1 pictured to name a few

Eh,

the audax seems to be good enough for a small housing, thanks.
But I'm trying alsto to find a complete unit.
I searched swan, but they are speaker builders, not drivers manufacturers, aren't they?

Tweeters for use in CARS
are often of the type mounted separate.

Of course they are mostly 4 ohms.
So if you could use these, SEARCH for "CAR Speakers Tweeters"
on the web

Try the Morel MDT38. It is a pretty good tweeter, and looks like exactly what you want.

Here is how Naim has done in several Loudspeakers.
This allows adjustment of the the tweeter direction.
And I imagine it avoids the tweeter to
be affected by resonances in the frontbaffle.

This is a flexible solution - to a degree, at least

Picture is from Naim SL2 user manual

/halo - likes flexible systems
