New Seas website

[bidland]

Hi all,

We have redesigned our website, and I hope also the DIY community will find it informative and easy to use. Browse in the products on the menus on the left side or search in the upper right corner. In the About Seas section you will find info on our history, our lab and some background information on the people working here.

You can find product information on our new tweeter with the DXT waveguide technology, and also two new DIY speaker designs.

We will continue to improve the site with downloadable SPL and IMP as txt files for use in simulation software, and also box volume suggestions and distortion measurements of the the drivers.

Go to http://www.seas.no/ and check it out.

Wow great website! Now I have to learn the quickest path to the data sheets again .

Beautiful website. I like it!

Oooh new product like named EXOTIC.

The first product line is an 8" with whizzer cone and alnico magnet?

I was hoping to mag cones with breakups above 10KHz...

Maybe this new Exotic line will be a turning point in hi-end drivers. Seas has what it needs (in terms of capital) for sure, unlike small manufactures like supravox, phy-hp, fertin and some more.

Back to paper and alnico... Already sounds good for me .

if you realy will, what else can DIYer hope for?

also few suggestions: You can sell separately tweeter magnets, magnets with chambers and/or with FF as well as you sell voice coils. Also that grey small waveguid that goes with 29 TW series should go with new voice coil or should be sold separately. It would help us DIYers to build tweeter that fits our demanads at best.

Taco,
If you know the product name, the quickest way to find it is to use the search field in the upper right corner.

The Exotic fullrange driver do have an AlNiCo magnet, yes. The idea is to present an alternative to those interested in that kind of drivers that combines the best from the past, with some new features. You will find more information and measurements on our website when the product is ready for production.

kyselym,
I'm sure you and many DIY'ers would love to have that possibility to combine the parts in every way imaginable. For us, as a speaker manufacturer, the difficult thing would be to handle the logistics, packaging, and at the same time keeping it profitable. Selling parts that is not assembled would also take away some of the quality control. It can happen that a tweeter chassis (with the moving parts) sounds OK with one magnet system, but not the next. Working with narrow tolerances is part of every day life when you make tweeters.

Hi Bjorn,

Nice looking website. I recall a while ago a picture I saw from a previous CES with 2 different DXT tweeters. I notice the smaller one appears to have hit the market first. Can you tell us if there will be a larger one coming someday?

Thanks,
John

Hi John,

We will have to see if this concept is appealing to our customers, including you DIY'ers, before we can plan any new products.

But we have seen a great deal of interest already, so I would not say that it's unthinkable to make a larger version - someday.

Bidland, will there eventually be classic 12" too, its needed

Just for reference, here is the big one I saw next to the little one in a CES picture:


(as seen in the Ultimate AV CES 2007 report)

Of course the benefit of a larger model would be directivity lower in frequency, but the measurements of the current model shown on the Seas website do indeed look good, with a nicer looking top end than some of the hacked up DIY versions we've been coming up with.
