After spending a day with RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter, trying to make a mounting harness for it I have to tell you that it almost a nightmare to handle it. Around this tweeter I was forced to recognize all objects I my room on magnetic and non-magnetic. Generally it is not complicated to do. What it complicated with this driver is the punishment if you make one single mistake. This driver acts like a back hole – an magnetic objects fly toward and any “kiss” of any object with this driver it absolutely terminal for the driver.  Whale I spent a day with the tweeter, experimenting with it and while I was making the mounting harness I had at least a half dozen accidents when I could destroy the tweeter, no mater how accurate I thought I was. Thanks God the tweeter comes with own protective enclosure and thanks God I made a rule for myself do not remove the tweeter from it’s enclosure unless the tweeter installed in it’s default position to play music. So I did followed the rule and as the result none of those dozen accidents make any difference. With that external enclosure the tweeter would be dead many time over.

Alex, have warned me many time over about it. She shipped the drivers in a magnetically shield double boxes, surrounded with dozen warning labels. I have measured that the “Water Drop” driver outside of it’s externals plastic enclosure (that had working title “the Condom”) the driver produces 80mT. I thigh it is not a big deal. Well, considering the consequences – it is a big deal.

So, if someone would experiment with a similar drivers then do yourself a favor: do not remove the driver outside of firms protective box unless it ready to play and do not even censed to use this time of driver if it has no such “Sarcophagus”…
Wow, I literally revealed that the drivers now are installed in the Macondo and the tribulation charring of the tweeter are over…. Now it is the time to talks bout the RAAL’s “Water Drop” tweeter’s Sound….
