Audax 170 Midrange - mechanical crossover?

critofur · 7th January 2009, 05:37 AM

I'm wondering, can I coat the cone on this driver: http://www.madisound.com/catalog/pro...oducts_id=8476

To induce a lower high frequency roll off without loosing any of it's top end smoothness?

Basically, a mechanical crossover instead of electronic.

The heavier the moving mass is, the less HF output...

Would be a kind of expensive experiment I guess.

There's a lot of things that happen to a speaker when you increase Mms

Lower HF roll-off would be the least of your worries.
