Dayton PT2B-8 good tweeter for line array use?

thadman · 12th January 2007, 03:13 AM

Is there any better tweeter for a line array that doesnt cost very much money? I know there are much better tweeters out there, but none that are super small (CTC spacing has to be extremely minute to minimize combing), cheap, and can span a long distance. Can these possibly sound good if several of them are used? Would I be much better off building a DIY ribbon?

I will be using (4) RS390HFs/tower + (16) RS125-4s/tower + whichever tweeter

Yes, for sure.

I do use 12 on a row. Sounds very good.

Interesting, maybe a DIY true ribbon will have lower distortion.

I have 8 of them per side on a array designed by Rick Craig, they sound good.

I have 8 Founteks per side on another array by Rick Craig, they sound very good, but are almost twice the money.

Just found out the Daytons were used on the Sunfire speakers and were designed by Bob Carver......who knew?
