Hi-Vi B3N polarity

Gollum · 5th July 2007, 02:26 PM

Hi,

After searching this entire forum, I just can't find the answer to a very basic question. Guess what, I'm unable to find the polarity of a B3N driver ! I know I can probably use a AA battery and test for the polarity, but I'm afraid to break something...

But I have a clue for you ! There is a red line beside one of the terminal. Am I wrong ot the red terminal is the (+) ?

Thanks for your help !

Don't be afraid.Use 1.5V battery and there you go.

It's voltage anyway that makes the speaker cones moove.

The red stripe indicates +

Just use the battery, then mark the polarity yourself. It's the only way to be sure.

1.5v is only a third of a watt, so there's no danger of damaging the speaker.

Yep, and when you use the battery the red stripe still indicates +

Thank you all. The battery test proves the red mark still indicates (+)... :-)

So you were all in the truth !

Thanks for your help.
