$1 Apex Jr tweeter????

Not open for further replies.
Does anyone have any reviews they would like to share about the $1 Apex Jr tweeter? Seems like for a buck it wouldn't hurt to try a couple or 20 in a line array.

I would even be happy with finding out what size these are?

Thanks.
 
This tweeter pulls way above its "weight" class. I've used a lot of them (well over a 100 so far -- not a single one in a line array either -- gotta order some more too) as super tweeters with XO anywhere between 7 & 12k (1st order).

There is a thread here somewhere with them used in a line arrary.

The "wings" can easily be trimmed off for a circular bezel (ie for mounting B&W style on the end of a tweeter pod). We also wave-guide load them using a 45 degree cutout and mount them from behind

PS: Steve may still have the special diyAudio pricing on these

a tweeter waveguide built right into the cabinet? that is too cool. how's it sound?

used 10k up, they add just a bit of sparkle to a drooping widerange or fullrange.

Here is another ap... these were designed to be ceiling speakers, they would be even better mounted on a wall. They use a pair of RS 40-1197s and are in an ~3" deep box (i think my buddy in LA that has them is interested in selling them too). This shows a similar technique for mounting the main drivers and creates quite an interesting looking shape.

For this forum...

I still have this offer for DIY AUDIO members..

As per Dave's post "Planet 10"

These $1.00 tweeters: If you mention this forum
before ordering I will sell you these tweeters
for 2 ea for $1.00. But you MUST mention this
forum when ordering...

I should also say I do have a $20.00 minimum
order, so if you only want a few you should
look at my website www.apexjr.com and see
if there is anything else you might be interested
in

Flacoman...
Nope, No testing...
Have found out that there made in France by Audex
and came out of Harman International.
Harman, Infinity and JBL as new surplus.
I just checked my website and there was a link to
a 72 on a side (144) line array that was made but
the link doesn't work. I have a call into him to
find out what happened and will followup on it too.
