New Peerless Tweeter

[ani_101]

Wolf, where did you end up with your 8" 2 way design? I will have these tweeters, the new RST and the WavecorÂ*
as well as the 9.5" Satori and Epique 8" for extensive testing. I remember you looking into the TB W8 at oneÂ*
time, as was I until I did more measurements, the W8 has such high 3rd order distortion I think it might beÂ*
broken, I'm going to revisit the testing today with the other driver to see what was wrong. So far the Satori
9.5" and Wavecor is a excellent combo, I have only listened to them actively (analog) crossed over, soÂ*
far and they go together very well!Â*

What Wavecor tweeter are you using? Is it going in any waveguide?

I mean the DA25TX, the subject of the OP in this thread.

I figured that out finally.

What Wavecor tweeter are you using? Is it going in any waveguide?

TW030WA11, it has a shallow wave guide and will happily cross lower thanÂ*
any tweeter I have tested so far, I will have the Peerless today.

I'm hoping the TX and the 2096 will meld well...
We'll see...

Dang that was on my shopping list...

I already have the woofer pair, and the RSS265PR pair to go into 20 ltrs...
Heehee, what a shoehorn,

I had them in 30 liters with an F3 of 35. No worries, I'm also liking the newer SB 8-inchers.

[Wolf]

With the measured specs I got, I can't get them to go below 38 pretty much at all. I sacrificed 5 ltrs to go from 38 to 40 Hz in terms of F3, yielding a 20 ltr box.

Later,

Physical measurements seem a little bigger than the PE site specs. This is also a pic with the SEOS Waveguide. ÂÂ*

Xmax, as long as you have the calipers out, would you mind telling me what the exact size of the seos 8 opening is? And the size of the mounting flange? Assuming that's the seos 8 you have pictured.

What waveguide will you attempt to fit it to? I'm looking to build a hifi waveguide two way soon, so I am following with great interest.

I'll design one and have it printed. 

Xmax> can you take the face shield off?

Nice looking tweeter, I have to laugh a bit at that heatsink though, it's 99.9% cosmetic on a tweeter with ferrite motor.

This is good to know! I have a pair of the TW030WA11 in a box waiting to be used, the current plan is with a pair of Dayton PM220 so the crossover is intended to be <2kHz. I went with the TW030WA11 from the excellent test result by AudioXpress, though they only tested HD to 2kHz, the off-axis performance was excellent from the small waveguide.

I had a pretty tough time working with that tweeter FR and took quite a bit of parts to shape it. Have it crossed at around 1500 /1600 to RS225P

I used 8 parts on the 1300Hz XO for Apollo. Series padding resistor, damped 3rd order HP and then LCR EQ.
