Anyone looking to use Hygeia (Airborne) AMT tweeters in their designs?

OscarS · 02:28 PM

I'm looking into getting some for a small project. Anyone want in on an order?

This is the pricing I got from them:

I suspect the better the order, the better the price. I'm looking to order in about 3 weeks, give or take. Naturally it would have to be one order to save on shipping costs as well. Stock they come with all-black anodized faceplates, but they can make available the faceplate with a clean machined aluminum 45° bevel.

This is the frequency response of a "variant" of the RT-5002 in my Legacy Audio Calibres. They are crossed over at 2.8kHz. This is in-room response, including all reflections. It is supposed to be "flat" out to 30kHz, but my Mic software doesn't pick up that high. They do sound awesome though.

Just stumbled across your post. Did you already order these? At these prices I would be interested in a few myself.

Not yet, im still working out the payment details with the vendor. There is some magnetic shield costs together with the shipping costs. Let me know what you need and I can get a quote from the vendor if you like.

I am interested in the following:

3 RT-5002
4 RT-4001

Thanks. If you would prefer that I deal directly with the vendor, just send me the contact.

Thanks.

Either a pair of the 4001 or 5002

Thanks for your interest. As I'm sure you can imagine, the vendor will sell us anything we want, lol. If I tell a car dealer, "sell me either the honda or the mustang", I'm pretty sure they would be thinking "well, which one do you want?"

I used the 5002 in my Nephila project. It was great, dynamic, but only good down to about 3.4kHz.
