| Ribbon Tweeter Resonant Frequency - Click HERE for Original Thread |
| DamageG |
A sincere thank you to all who participate in the discussions. I have really learned a lot. I'm an electrical engineer with a background in switching power supplies, audio amplifiers and analog design. And have recently been bitten by the DI speaker bug.
I'd like to build a long ribbon tweeter for a near field line source. And want to cross over at about 1.4kHz.
So my question is, how do you determine the resonant frequency of the tweeter? I would think that it is only based on the density of the foil? And if you have active EQ, can you run below resonance?
Best regards,

| The resonans frequency is very low on a ribbon.below 20hz.You can offcourse not EQ too below that |

Thank you for the feedback.
If the resonance is very low, then I guess what I'm looking for is the low frequency corner.
So for a ribbon mounted on an infinite baffle, what determines the minus 3db frequency of a ribbon? |
