Fountek NeoX3.0-B
Categories: Fountek Drive Units - All Ribbon Tweeters
UK STOCK ITEM
The Fountek NeoX3.0 features Fountek's third generation ribbon technology. This larger sized design incorporates an increased 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 12x80mm ribbon is made from an ultra light (36mg) multilayer aluminium sandwich with a cross section of 0.015mm (approx 0.6 thou). Efficiency is high at 95dB.
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 for ease of application.
We recommend a minimum crossover frequency of 2kHz / 18db octave.
Frequency range | 1200Hz-40kHz | Nominal impedance (Zn) | 8 Ω |
Ribbon dimensions | 12x80mm | DC resistance (Ribbon) | 0.02 Ω |
Effective area (squared) | 960mm | RMS power handling | 30 W |
Crossover frequency | 2kHz/18db | Peak power | 50W |
Sensitivity (2.83V/1m) | 95dB | Faceplate (rectangular) | 144x69.5mm |

Quick dispatch
Very happy with this replacement part, especially once id fitted it correctly!! Sounds great so know where to go when the other one fails. 👍
Just as expected. Works perfectly as a subwoofer @400Hz in a mono bi-amped active internet radio set up in my study. Thanks!
Bought a pair of these to replace the failing drivers in my 20 year old Alesis M1 Active Mk2s. They are physically a near perfect match for the cabinets and are a good match electrically for the amplifier, but sound better than the original drivers. The only slight complication is the original drivers use one 2.8mm and one 4.8mm spade terminal, so you need to change one of the connectors. These have given my old monitors (now my 'kitchen speakers') a whole new lease of life. Next step is to replace the rubber surrounds with a grille.
There is a detailed review of these drivers over on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCb-rzCSK2s
Great service from Willys. They were dispatched straight away and arrived next day, very well packed.
I recently installed the Linn Keilidh active Tweeter Upgrade Kits from Willys Hifi. It works great! It took
1 month to get here snd had to pay an additional 90 euros in taxes and customs fees but it was well worth it!
The foam grill covers of my Mission 770s crumbled into dust many years ago. Only recently was I able to find what I thought would be a suitable replacement. Everything about the process went smoothly. The foam cut easily, looks good and, to my ears , is audibly transparent.
