Eminence announced the PSD3006 compression driver. It's been a while since they discontinued the PSD3003, so lets hope this new driver is worth the wait. The Eminence PSD3006 uses a titanium diaphragm instead of phenolic.

Not sure of some specs on them???? [message #50550 is a reply to message #50548] Thu, 18 January 2007 05:04 Go to previous messageGo to next message

Wayne,

Most compression drivers use a 2 to 1 ration of diaphram size to throat size.

This driver is 3" with 2" throat.

They state resonance as 511 hz and response as 500 hz on up. I would not use this one below 1 khz.

Not sure these specs make sense to me.

Why are you interested in 2" compression driver?
They don’t seem to match Pi projects, with their high crossover cut, specially for 2" drivers, and the probably need a refining tweeter above.

Anything new under the sun?

I haven't brought in one of these in yet to see how it does, but I think it should be suitable for 600Hz or 800Hz crossover.

It might be good for use in the 9π loudspeaker system, designed for use with the 12π hornsub.

Wayne,

I will wait until you get a pair of them and report back to us!

For sure this must be "The Ultimate Concert Hall Master Speakers".

I think the 9π is the perfect top to go with the 12π basshorn sub.

Hey Wayne,
I would like to have them side by side.
This 2" is about ready for compensation. What do you think?
We should also compare prices as soon as we know the PSD3006 price.

(If you need any T/S like the Le param. that they don't use to publish, I usually ask Professor S. Silva from Selenium Brasil.)
You may even be able to ask for a new SUB with specs made by you.

The response frequency curve is away above 102dB@20K so that you don't need a super tweeter.

(DPD - stands for PTC)
DPD® - Driver Protection Device – including a PTC and an HPCCR resistor, this system assures longer durability at eventual overcharge.

The original .pdf for the 2" SELENIUM D3300Ti DPD is here:
http://www.seleniumloudspeakers.com/site2004/catalogo/pdf/driver_titanium_D3300tidpd_new.pdf

We will know your report about the drivers and some news about your new Master Speaker design for Concert Halls.

I'm eager to check out the PSD3006 too. My time right now is spoken for, but I'm itching to bring in a PSD3006 and measure it on my LMS system.
