Post Subject: HF channel - BMS 4540Posted by KLegind on: 9/8/2009

Hello Marc Henry,

I am curious as to why you picked the 4540 driver for HF. I have no experience with this unit but it is interesting since the design claims to be of the "ring-radiator" type. This topology was invented by Steen Duelund for use in regular non-hornloaded tweeters, but BMS claims its a ring-radiator so it might be BS or it might not be...

The ring-radiator that I have heard was from Duelunds own hand and did not sound like a regular dome tweeter, but more akin to a good compression driver.
Now, what do you think about the Sound of this driver? And what does it offer that other drivers dont?

Sincerely
Kris

PS. I hope this question is not off topic.
