The link below gives some scans of the piezo curves published in the Jaycar cattle dog.

Hope they are useful!

Thanks for posting those response curves! I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we appreciate the time you spent scanning the images and putting them online. Paul C. loves those large format piezo compression drivers.

Might be a good idea to save them to your computers. !! [message #33516 is a reply to message #33515]

Thanks, Andy! Looks like Wayne was right, with the 1188 the woofer should be rolled off at 600 hz rather than 800 hz.

The KSN1188a looks very good, in fact, better than many more expensive units. This jives with what my ears tell me.

Wayne, what's the scale on KSN1038? [message #33523 is a reply to message #33517]

Hey Wayne,

I'm trying to compare these piezos to the KSN1038 but I'm going blind trying to read the scale on the freq response graph--I swear that's why I'm going blind, it's not because of the "other thing" ;-)

There seems to be 5 minor divisions per major division.
In between 4k and 5k Hz, the response rises one minor div, is that ~3db?
There's a trough after 10k to about 15k Hz, is that ~3dB?

Thanks,
Jeff

The frequency response chart for the KSN-1038 is broken into a grid showing 5dB increments with bold lines, and 1dB increments with fine lines, in between. It shows output averaging 105dB with 4v RMS input, measured at a distance of 18". To translate this to 2.83v/M, subtract 9dB. The ripple shown is only about 3dB.

Hey Andy, thanks again for those response graphs!

Would you be able to post the responses for the KSN1038/1041 and the KSN1005?

It would be great to compare them to Wayne's old spec sheet.
Your efforts are appreciated muchly!

Best regards,
Jeff

G'day Jeff, sorry for the delay. Jaycar doesn't sell the 1038 (so I can't help you there), but I'll scan the 1005A curves and add to the page asap.

I'll also link the scans from my main pages.

Hey Andy, are there any others that look flat? [message #33539 is a reply to message #33535]

... and I don't mean the young ladies at the beach! :-0

If you wouldn't mind letting your fingers take a walk through the catalog; do any of the other piezos look flat?
I was wondering about the KSN1177 or KSN1167?
And if you have the time: KSN1133, KSN1148, KSN1130, any others ...

Thanks a bunch,
Jeff
