Top quality grille cloth from Jantzen Audio. This flame retardant polyester cloth is made in Germany and has just the right amount of stretch when fitting over frames, making it easy to achieve a flat professional finish with no loose or baggy areas.
Sold by the metre on length, reel width is 1.5 metres.
Colour: Black RAL 901.
Small colour samples also available.
This grille cloth is great - it's super-easy to work with and it's got just the right amount of stretchiness to ensure a really professional-looking result. I used Gorilla contact adhesive, but did not put the glue on both surfaces as per the instructions - that seemed like it would be too difficult because of the stretching required. It wasn't necessary - I glued around the frames, waited for about 3-4minutes, and then just pressed the fabric onto the glue, pulling to the corners first and then around the edges. Worked well. It's solid, and my 35yr-old speakers look like they're brand new again!
Thanks for the excellent write up Alastair & yes, this cloth has just the right amount of stretch to remain taut without pulling out of the glue. We've actually had a client trim the interior of a VW camper with this cloth & the results were brilliant.

As always, items arrived nicely packed and promptly.
I purchased these as substitutes for another driver that was used in a transmission line design. The old drivers had way too high a Q and sounded a bit boomy.
I chose these mainly because the diameter was exactly the same as the original drivers, meaning no cabinet reworking :)
They behaved very well in the transmission line cabinet and don't exhibit any peaks or nulls in the response. Very easy to work with and the 2nd order crossover couldn't be much simpler, crossed at around 2.4K which was mainly determined by the DT105 tweeter I was using, the drivers blend really well together.
Overall these are a very good sounding driver with a natural and neutral sound.
For those interested, I have included pictures of the speaker, crossover and measurements.
Tip: Run these drivers in before measuring and designing the crossover!
Good service well packed
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!!
