Hi,
I have a apair of HM130Z0. I can't find any details
of this woofer. Can someone advice on box
volume as frequency range on this mid/woofer
pls.
Thank you

Some data here (although in German):

but you can go to altavista's babelfish to translate it 😉
good luck,

You're welcome. 😉
The HM130ZO is NOT a mid/woofer. It is a midrange only driver. You can see in the above picture that a highpass 2nd order filter at around 500 hz is recommended.
It is an excellent midrange and came to fame in this application:

It must be used in a 3-way system as this person came to understand:

Hope this helps.

Thank you for these datasheets!
I have made a two way design with it. The cabinet was about 8 liter, crossed @ 3 kHz to a Scanspeak 2010 19mm dome. A very decent sounding loudspeaker. The impact/ bass is not bad at all (-3 dB point around 70 Hz).

I find that this website comes in handy quite often.

I've got a pair of Hm130z0s and they do sound wonderful. I got mine for £10 each on ebay and that includes postage 😛 Lucky old me. And I have so far only used then as a mid.

Hmmm.......
Simply not true. Parameters indicate it would work fine as a mid/bass.
2mm is not brilliant excursion but better than most fostex full rangers.
If used as such (reflexed) it would suit low power class A / class D amplifiers.

The Audax Z0 series was marketed as having "aerogel" cone construction.
When I was shopping for 6.5" drivers for my MTM DIY speakers in 2000, I chose Audax C0 speakers (Carbon Fiber), but Madisound accidentally shipped me 6.5 Z0 aerogel drivers.
The aerogel's had a very interested feel to them, they were soft yet flexible and frequencies seemed to roll off of the cones smoothly and naturally.
I have often wondered if my system would sound substantially different with aerogel drivers instead of Carbon Fiber ones.
I do know that Aerogels sold at a higher price point than CF Audax drivers...this could mean that the manufacturer intended them to perform "better," but that is open to debate.
Hope it helps 🙂

I'd have to agree. The more drivers I listen to the more I find myself preferring the well damped ones, for example: the HM100Z0, poly cones of Audiotechnology, soft dome from ATC and various treated paper woofers.
I never entirely got on with Seas alu or magnesium cones, very nice drivers though. Its all preference so nobody is absolutely right or wrong. 😉

I agree I "third" this. I plopped the HM130Z0's in place of the Seas magnesium coned W15CY001 and was blown away at how much better and more 'musical' they were. Dynamics just seemed to expload from the speakers in comparison with a crystal clear, free sound.
Im now in the process of the 4 way. SSD2905/97 on top, HM100Z0 upper mid. Hm210Z12 lower mid and a pair of XLS10s on bass. All open beffle. Xover ~5000hz, 400hz and 100hz.
FInally got my copy of LspCAD back today afting having lost it (thankyou Ingemar) where I measured it all+ designed a crossover, the HM100Z0 is an amazing little driver.
I would love to see what the Aerogels would sound like with Scan-speak motors. DIY driver anyone? 😀
Hello,
I have 1 pair of AM103Z2 and 2 pair of AM210Z2, i want to design 3 or 2.5 ways speakers with him, what do you think ?
the tweeter may be fountek NEOCD3.0

Fourth this. I built MTMs using the HM170Z0 and HM100Z0 which were the two best speakers I've ever made. The former had been in use with Dynaudio 17W75EXT; the Audax Aerogels sounded ridiculously more natural. The Dynaudios ended up in the latter speakers to cover the 80-350Hz range, where the HM100s take over.
Aerogel is nice, musical and dynamic, but these cones haven't enough resolution for me. Also they sound a bit coloured compared to the newer cones.
Coloured is not a word that comes to mind with the aerogels. If anything they're too neutral for some tastes. 😉
What newer cones are you referring to Taco ?
In the past i've tried Davis (kevlar), Excel (magnesium).
In terms of uncoloured reproduction and effortless dynamics i found the aerogels unbeatable.
Best regards,
Klaas

Only PHL sounds family. Then again, Philippe Lesage was head of Audax R&D for 12yrs. But PHL does not make 90dB linearity optimised soft surround stuff to be directly comparable and usable in Hi-Fi boxes. It makes pro kickers that are difficult to tame and have high Fs. My 1220 midwoof delivers though. But it took me long to get it just right, and still is a bit rougher technically than say 170Z0, although it pays off with SPL. Audaxes were easy to tame fast.
