LIMITED STOCK

The Fountek FM135D-II is a 5¼" / 135mm midrange driver featuring an aluminium cone, a rigid diecast basket and a high temperature copper clad aluminium voice coil wound on a 35mm kapton former.

Operates as a pure piston between 120 - 400Hz then the response gently tapers upwards to 5Khz, our recommended upper limit for this unit. As to be expected with a small metal coned drive unit, the FM135D-II has an excellent transient response. The first major cone breakup occurs at around 7Khz, this is easily avoided or notched in the crossover.

Key Features:

  • Aluminium cone - excellent transients
  • Non resonant diecast chassis
  • 35.5mm CCAW voice coil
  • High compliance rubber suspension
  • Kapton voice coil former
  • Smooth frequency response
  • Low distortion

Basic parameters:

Resonant frequency (fs) 73 Hz Nominal impedance (Zn) 8 Ω
Mechanical  Q factor (Qms) 1.84 DC resistance (Re) 6.3 Ω
Electrical Q factor (Qes) 0.69 RMS power handling 30 W
Total Q factor (Qts) 0.28 Sensitivity (2.83V/1m) 89dB
Equivalent volume (Vas) 6.47L Chassis diameter (cropped) 150 mm

Great drive unit - pity it’s discontinued

An impressive driver, with outstanding resolution, speed and dynamics for the price. The break up mode at 7kHz is clearly audible (though less horrendous than some other metal drivers) & does require suitable crossover design. Overall: great for the price, but a shame that Fountek has discontinued manufacture.

Thanks for the review Simon. Fountek appear to have a new owner & have discontinued various aluminium coned units which is a shame as some were fantastic.
