I've got a pair single driver speakers I've supplemented with a ribbon supertweeter and single cap crossover at 3khz. I'm just wondering about very carefully removing the whizzer and if anybody has tried this and if it worked to positive effect. Thanks!
@timlub thank you for your post. I’m curious and encouraged. First, why do you say a ribbon would not be happy crossed at 3k? What do you mean by 6db per octave. Sorry, my technical skills are matched by no one.
after reading that you are unaware of what 6db means I would not recommend that you cut off the whizzer on any expensive part.. I don't see anywhere about what driver you are using. It would take some understanding of frequencies and crossover slopes to properly blend parts. It is even possible that a single cap is completely inappropriate.
@ the above 2 posters. Let’s see the driver is a HempTone not a particularly exotic single driver or anything. At just about 3k according to the response graph things begin to start to get pretty squirrelly. I feel like there is a pretty seamless blend between the Fountek’s NeoX 2.0 but I’m no expert. The frequency response kicks in @ 1.2khz for the Fountek. Both speakers share same eff. I didn’t want to try anything there as I didn’t want to hear the tweet seperate from main driver but still utilize its goodness. I don’t know, Anyway I thought I start there and change value if it bugged me but shoot my hearing starts to drop off anyway much past 7k and it sounds pretty good. Thanks for your advice.
