Overview:<\/span><\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The D3004\/660000 is a 4\u03a9 tweeter from the ScanSpeak Illuminator series.
\nIt offers a very sturdy build quality with a rubber coated metal faceplate. Its large roll surround and textile dome diaphragm provides a flat frequency response to 30KHz with outstanding off-axis dispersion.<\/p>\n

The unique AirCirc Magnet System and its rear chamber results in elimination of reflections and resonances that compromise the performance of traditional motors.<\/p>\n

This very nice tweeter not only measures well, but also sounds great and is capable of low cross-over points.<\/p>\n

Frequency measurement conditions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The tweeter is measured mounted in a 14 liter Dayton Audio enclosure (PartsExpress part #302-721) baffle with the following conditions:<\/p>\n

Baffle size (WxH):<\/strong> 21,59\u00d735,56cm (8,5\u2033x14\u2033)<\/p>\n

Driver position:<\/strong> Mounted on center-line with driver unit center 8cm from the top of the baffle.<\/p>\n

Mic position:<\/strong> 1m distance, on tweeter-axis.<\/p>\n

Smoothing:<\/strong> No smoothing applied.<\/p>\n

0deg tweeter-axis
\nSample 1 = Blue
\nSample 2 = Red<\/p>\n

Virtually the same frequency response between the two samples. At 3.5kHz the baffle diffraction is noticed as a dip in the frequency response. This dip is reduced in the off-axis measurements. The tweeter has a rising top-end frequency response from 15kHz to 20kHz. Very extended low-end frequency response.<\/p>\n
