Hello!
I bought a pair of Infinity RS-5001 and one tweeter is not working! Tweeter model Emit K riboon tweeter type! Are these tweeters repairable or are they condemned to remain as they are and not play again? Do these break down ofthen? Thank you! Oszkar

Oh, I responded in the other thread. I fused one emit while reproducing some highly distorted guitar ( amplifier clipping ) or maybe hip-hop, I don't remember. Search for used ones or replace both with some new tweeters that have about 90 dB/W/m sensitivity; impedance must be 8 Ω, I guess 🙄
It doesn't need to be ribbon or isodynamic, of course the original device was incorporated in this design and the crossover also designed for the purpose.
I see that the crossover is 3rd order (C-L-C) with a resistor to control Q on the L, and the variable resistor before the tweeter...

I have never worked on EMIT tweeters before, but if you are not getting a resistance reading one of two things has probably happened.
1) One of the solder joints to the aluminum trace has gone bad

2) Aluminum trace has overheated and failed at some point along the ribbon path.
