Post Subject: Old paper direct-radiation tweetersPosted by Romy the Cat on: 7/12/2004
I have seen those old Telefunken, Siemens and some other 4” cone direct radiation tweeters, but I never tried them. I do not know thier signature and I do not know thier characteristics. The reason why I never cared about them, although I might be wrong on it, because those type of the tweeters would be useable in situation when you need a long and deep midrange tail and would like to keep the crossover point relatively low. For instance if you use no-compression, no phase-plug driver loaded into mid range then run such a tweeter sitting at 7kHz might be a solution. If I have a half dozen of them then might try building a parabolic array… The only problem that I see in those drivers that they have relatively high cone mass and might require a high order filter because the drovers LF harmonics might be too “weighty”. This high order filter would be a direct contradiction to my religion…. :-(
