How to hook these Hiel Ribbons up

barfind · 14th February 2006, 03:52 AM

Hi all. I have thses ribbons. I bought them on ebay about a year ago. I would like to hook the up and have a listen, but I am not sure what electronics I need to put before them. Can any help?

Thanks in advance
Nigel

I Believe that these will need the magnetic structure as well to function correctly. I have a pair myself and they have a quite large and strong magnetic structure around them.

Basically it would be like trying to connect just the cone and voice coil of a conventional driver without the magnet structure. It just won't work.

Other than that, I have mine connected to a conventional crossover and they seem to function beautifully.

Good Luck.
