I gave another run to Vitavox S2 with electromagnet and while I was listening I come across to an interesting observation. I screw the S3 in 330Hz horn and was trying to run it with 500Hz crossover point. It is pretty standard configuration, the way ...

R,More interesting observations there. Your Lowther thoughts are similar to mine - I always wondered what a lower flux version would sound like, but non-horn loaded and whizzerless a la Horning. Even got round to obtaining some magnet-less motor...

[quote user="cdwitmer"]I'm probably revealing my ignorance by even asking this, but I'm curious to know if a field coil ribbon tweeter could be practical. It occurs to me that if one could be made, it would be a lot safer since it wouldn't be a black...

Somebody from AA was asking about electromagnet. The subject pup up here from time to time but this time Bruce Edgar uploaded an interesting comment. Bruce is not a typical AA Moron and if he says “inaccurate things” then it is not due to ignoran...

Haralanov,
I would not make any assumption about be’s friend who proposed that the heating up magnet describes the major difference between perm and electromagnet. In fact what he proposed I find very stimulating and to a degree might be very ...

The played today a little with Vitavox S2 driver with electromagnet and made some measurements. Measuring the relative magnetic force (I use Hirst GM04) I found out that increase current up to 3A linearly increases the magnetic force in the gap...

[quote user="coops"]I have't heard the driver in the Beta, I am told that there isn't a great deal of difference sonically between the field coil and the alnico magnet versions of the driver. [/quote]
It is most like that people who told...

A few years ago playing with my favorite Vitavox S2 driver I was asking myself how it might sound if instead of the Alnico magnet the electromagnets would be used. As many other driver of the period the Vitavox did not utilized the only one magnet ty...

Decoud, I do reject any speculations about flux modulation in compression drivers as I do presume that it is absolutely negligible. It is like using a SS amp with ultra low output impedance, to drive a ribbon tweeter and to worry about return current...

Well, when we are talking about Cogent we need clearly differentiate two things: the Cogent’s drivers and the Cogent’s installation. The problem is that since Cogent’s drivers are something so called “compression drivers” then their performance might...

So, I guess you do not measure flux if are getting. You might measure sensitivity and we might presume what when perm magnets has the same sensitivity as electromagnets then the drivers have the same magnetic flux density. Let also presume that when ...

Despite my generally-negative experience of driving Vitavox S2 from field-coil I might consider to try in the coming year the same experiment one more time, since I am driving my MF driver now by a different DHT amp. I would like to see how the D...

What the sonic impact will be? I clearly have no idea. I was slightly desponded and warned that my excremental S2 with electromagnet did not have the “sonic impact” that I find useful.Regardong the Quartopuss... Chris, you're confused because t...

The subject of electromagnetic, or as they called field-coil drivers, popped up at my site numerous times. (Look as it list of related threats). The advances or shortcomings of electromagnetic drivers are arguable, I have my vision, but it is not the...

Well, I screw-in today the S2 with filed-coil into my horn. I decided to drive it with 2.4A. I used a regulated DC PS and did not employ my prepared for this tusk 4.2 Farad capacitor: the voltage is too high for my cap. The current gave me a ni...

Be, if you look at the picture of the S2 then you will see that between the exit of the phase plug and beginning of throat there is a circular channel that violates my view of proper transition in compression driver. This channel is on the side o...

[quote user="decoud"] If a magnetic field is static, who cares how it is created? Isn't the main potential advantage of electromagnets one that no one has explored at all - the possibility of modulating the field strength in direct response to the au...

that the high voltage coil will at the same flux have higher dissipation, this could mean that it will run at a higher temperature and thereby softening the mooving parts more.If this is the case and is benneficial, the resistor mentionned in the pos...
