Airborne RT4001 tweeter

Has anyone used

It looks like a good possibility for a 3 way system with a 2500 Hz or high crossover, and easy to work with due to the linear impedance curve. This might lower the crossover parts count compared with a good $80 SS tweeter like the D2608- the question remains whether it would match the dispersion or distortion. But given your other driver choices, I expect cost savings is what you're really looking for.

Squid,

You've probably been following this thread at PE; http://techtalk.parts-express.com/sh...irborne+RT4001 You might want to email Jeff Bagby and see if he followed up on re-measuring his tweeter.

Craig,

I crossed it at 2000 Hz to a Seas Excel 5.5" woofer. Sounded great! (it was just for kicks. not a project I would expect anyone to build) I think it could work with the M5A just fine, crossed around 2000 Hz. Not a simple crossover, mind you. The M5A needs a notch filter and the AMT needs a contour filter up high. But other than that, it should work.

Paul thanks for the input, I have gotten alot of feedback saying
that those drivers would not meet each other. I was thinking of 2500hz.
as the X-over point to be a happy medium, what's your opinion? Also I
was considering the BG neo3 for this project (3-way tower) what's your
opinion on which driver would mate to the M5A?
Thanks Mike

I think the M5A would make an interesting partner (or the not-yet-spotted-in-the-wild L6-4R) . The M6A is a great woofer, too, but I kind of already did that with the ZX Spectrum (with great results, if I may say so). Also, it seems to like a bigger box.

You're making me want to try pairing the M5A with the Airborne AMT just to prove that it would work. What size cabinet did you have in mind?

I have been seeking input about the Airborne being able to mate with
the M5A. I thought about a 2500hz. X-over point, what's your opinion?

I don't think the M5A will go that high. I think the highest I would push it is 2200 Hz, because the response gets ragged, and the breakup mode needs to have room to be suppressed.

Do you already have the M5? You could consider the SB mid:

smooth enough to cross higher for the Airborne to be comfortable.
