DRIVE UNITS BY MANUFACTURER:
Fountek NeoX2.0-B
Categories: Fountek Drive Units - All Ribbon Tweeters

UK STOCK ITEM
The Fountek NeoX2.0 features Fountek's third generation ribbon tweeter technology. This medium sized design incorporates a larger surface area ribbon mounted in an aperiodic shallow horn resulting in an improved low end response / wider useable range with higher power handling than its predecessors. The 12x60mm ribbon is made from an ultra light (27mg) multilayer aluminium sandwich with a cross section of 0.015mm (approx 0.6 thou). Efficiency is quite high at 94dB.
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 2.3kHz / 18db octave.
| Frequency range | 1200Hz-40kHz | Nominal impedance (Zn) | 8 Ω |
| Ribbon dimensions | 12x60mm | DC resistance (Ribbon) | 0.02 Ω |
| Effective area (squared) | 720mm | RMS power handling | 25 W |
| Crossover frequency | 2.3kHz/18db | Peak power | 43W |
| Sensitivity (2.83V/1m) | 94dB | Faceplate (rectangular) | 113x69.5mm |

This made a massive difference to my 30 year old Linn Keilidh speakers, giving them a new lease of life.
Willy's is an awesome serivce. I needed a 4" midrange replacement that is a drop in exact fit for the IMF TLS50. If you are ordering from the USA, the Monacor MSH-115, 4" is your best option. I live in Pennsylvania and it only took 5 days from the time I ordered to be delivered from the UK. Royal Mail provides tracking. I dropped in cab and was fired up shortly on the same day. Sounds great. Totally worth buying these instead of rebuilding old speakers.
Willys saved my Mission 752 speakers. The tweeters were defective. The original tweeters are no longer available, and it would have been a shame to throw away these really good speakers. I came across Willys by chance in a chat room. Even there, the company and especially the tweeters were highly praised. I contacted Willys and received a very friendly response. Ordering the speakers went smoothly. However, shipping to and from the UK is a real adventure due to ****. It is expensive, cumbersome and no fun for either side. The tweeters arrived two weeks later and were of course installed immediately. The result is truly impressive. Airy, clear highs (previously a weakness of the 752, which tended to ‘hiss’) and a sound image that really thrills me. The ‘old’ Mission 752s seem to me as if they have been swimming in a fountain of youth. Thank you for the good service and the high-quality tweeters. ❣️❣️❣️

What a business, such a personal service , superb communication , and speed of delivery.
Bought a matched pair of Hiquphon OW1-92 Tweeters for my ancient Linn Kan’s Mk11.
WOW back to life , if not better , the main difference I hear , is more life, output, depth from the tweeter without taking away what I love about the Kans.
Will order a second set very soon for my other pair.
Thanks Will , and Happy Birthday.

Loved the extra touch , gaskets, solder and screws.
I tried this uprated capacitor through sheer curiosity and am pleasantly surprised with the results. So far, and not too many hours in, it’s giving a slightly smoother edge to the top end and has solved an issue I had regarding some hardness to the sound. I’m impressed enough that I’ll look to replace the mid range caps in the future.
