DRIVE UNITS BY MANUFACTURER:
Fountek NeoCD3.0-B
Categories: Fountek Drive Units - All Ribbon Tweeters

UK STOCK ITEM !
The Fountek NeoCD3.0 is a true ribbon tweeter featuring an 8 x 60mm diaphragm, a high power neodymium magnet and a 110mm circular alloy faceplate. The ribbon material is an ultra light (10mg) multilayer aluminium sandwich with a cross section of 0.015mm (approx 0.6 thou).
This medium sized ribbon tweeter has a high sensitivity of 93 dB and a broad operating range of between 1.4 kHz to 40 Khz. 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.
Representing an excellent price / performance / size ratio, this tweeter has been used in various high end designs.
We recommend a minimum crossover frequency of 2.5kHz / 18db octave.
Available in black or silver.

Speaker grill foam for Harbeths
I was concerned that they may not look like the original binding posts on my Rogers LS6 speakers but they are a perfect match. Quite solid. Shipping was quick and easy. I recommend the product and Willys Hifi.
Greetings from Quebec, Canada.
Product as described, easy to cut & fit.
On reflection having now fitted the foam, I wish it was 15mm to 18mm or even 20mm thick. This is not a complaint. For a small speaker under 30cm high it’s perfect. For a larger speaker I feel a thicker sponge would hold its structure more pleasingly, its aesthetics, but important for the finished look.
I’ve been building my own home cinema as a complete DIY project and reached the stage where I needed some decent acoustic foam for my speaker panels (also DIY!) so I picked up 3 large sheets from here. They were sent quickly, packed well and moreover, are of excellent quality. With them being folded into the shipping box they were slightly creased but after leaving them out overnight on a flat surface, the creases fell out completely. They’re now in place and doing their job brilliantly. Cheers Willys Hifi!
The crossover was constructed well, I just need to figure out the best way to attach it to my Kef Concertos as they are bigger than the ones supplied by Kef that are mounted on the front of the baffle board.
