cleaning of horn tweeter

testarossa2k · 5th October 2007, 12:25 PM

Hello,

accidentaly a little bit of sawdust entered into the horn tweeter (fostrex FT17H).

you see that white piece of wood that stopped right into the fissure? I tried to blow that, but no way. I tried to vacuum clieaning it but it's still there.

I was thinking to use the air compressor, but I don't want to damage the tweeter. Do you have any ideas?

thank you

You could try a "dust-off" spray. Basically, it's a spray with air under pressure - it could work if the piece of wood cannot go even further into the gap. You should still be careful, as the jet is pretty strong.

I've done it

I've modded the vacuum cleaner

I used the lowest power naturally.

One question: behind the phase plug there is a metal plate. Is it the cone of the supertweeter?
