Dynapleat - Click HERE for Original Thread

Hi folks,

I have a dozen of "Dynapleat" (aprox 5" X 5") planar drivers. Does anybody know them? and does someone have some plans about how to use them?

Yes.

These were developed as a surface mount auto speaker originally.
Used by some asian mfrs in "high-end" speakers (or so they said).

Interesting drivers... just use them and see how you like them... obviously good where limited mounting space is available - can be rear loaded somewhat because there are holes in the back of the units...

Dunno what else to say about them.

Hi there,

One or two years ago, I saw a site with "high end" speakers built with them. There were arrays of these drivers, and some were much smaller in size than mines, (tweeters I suppose) I've been told the 5" ones were covering something like 150hz up to 20000 ?

I'll have to try them and see. It's just that projects are time and energy consuming. So, I prefered going by asking first on the net, "does anybody know them?"

I'd be curious to see how they sound when back loaded, compared to dipole.

For now, I have just plugged them in open air, and as is, they had very low sensitivity, and a not so extended treble, and of course, no bass. ;)

Thanks for answering

several years ago ,maybe '91 to '93 speaker builder magazine had afeature article usind these drivers, also parts express used to sell them, you might find osmeone on their forum who knows more about them, oh by the way the parameters were in the old parts express catalouge.

Thanks for the links.

I have tried to find info and projects about these cheap drivers and could not find anything.

Doesn't seem to be a very popular item.. Too bad, they are very intriguing.
