UK STOCK ITEM !
The Fountek NeoPro5i is a high power, high efficiency large format true ribbon tweeter featuring a 145mm / 5 inch ribbon and a very powerful 1 tesla neodymium magnet system. The NeoPro5i has a very broad, low distortion frequency response of between 850 Hz - 40 Khz. The ribbon material is an ultra light (88mg) multilayer aluminium sandwich with a cross section of 0.015mm (approx 0.6 thou).
The end tensioning clamps form a substantial heatsink for the low impedance ribbon and an impedance matching transformer is built into the back of the housing.
We recommend a minimum crossover frequency of 1.5kHz / 18db octave.
Frequency range | 850Hz-40kHz | Nominal impedance (Zn) | 7 Ω |
Ribbon dimensions | 145x15mm | DC resistance (Ribbon) | 0.02 Ω |
Effective area (squared) | 2175mm | RMS power handling | 60 W |
Crossover frequency | 1.5kHz/18db | Peak power | 120W |
Sensitivity (2.83V/1m) | 100dB | Faceplate (rectangular) | 190x115mm |

I've needed something like this for years, fantastic product and a lovely company to deal with. Won't be my last purchase from them
It was a nice experience to send the old filters to the UK (from the Netherlands) and get them surprisingly fast back (taking the overseas shipment into account). At first I did it wrong since I also replaced the drivers that could also be connected in a 4/6 Ohm (double coil). But after correcting and calibrating my receiver the speakers sounded great.
Thanks!
Used in a DIY LS3/5a project, with Morel CAT 298 tweeters and custom crossovers using ClarityCap CSAs. Super pleased with these woofers! I think they synergize well with the “live” thin-wall LS3/5a cabinets. The sound is neither bloated, nor thin, just revealing, spacious, and with very lifelike tone. I’m so happy with the results of this project and had a great buying experience with Willy’s. Thank you!!
I used this in custom LS3/5a speaker enclosures along with Monacor SPH-135AD woofers and custom crossovers using ClarityCap CSAs. The tweeters have a very pure sound, revealing microdetails and having a naturally smooth, response. The sound is never peaky or rough. I’m very happy with my purchase and with the service from Willys. Would buy from again for a future project!
I bought a pair of Acoustic Research AR28LS speakers back in 1985 for £129 ! After about 15 years the foam suspension had started to perish and completely failed in 2006 following a rather loud teenage party. I was never happy with the Eminence Beta-8A replacements bought from a local shop at the time, as the bass resonance was far too high. Finally decided to replace them with Monacor SPH-8M and the speakers now sound as good as new. Arrived quickly and no problems fitting. Many thanks.
