Hi Someone wanted to take a look at this. I Ki k TW T ke triple o1 - tweeter from the Rocio six that I've got and this one failed you to the black a gunk of death and I thought we'd just take a look inside it. Let's go if we take off the soft dome outer there. it's just glued on, easy to peel off.

It looks like we got some some foam inside here that's just stuck on to the magnet inside there. Anyway, it looks like it's got the coil on the outside which on this one is blowing. So oh look, we've got our coil on the outside. so this is a moving coil one.

Jesus that's not mini -. oh no, Is that just like one that's just a connecting no. Is that it? That's it. Wow, that's the entire coil.

Are you kidding me? Wow Looks like it's just one big solid turn around there. That's that's crazy. So let's have a squiz at this under the Tigana microscope. Here we go.

Here's the wire coming in and what? I know? sorry that looked like one wire strip you probably saw that on HD It didn't make er didn't make sense at all. but once you get under there, it's obviously moldable turns you just need X amount of magnification. but it's like right up the top that magnet. So how many turns out? and I count the turns in there.

So somewhere in this it's been blowing. so let's check around there. Yeah, well yeah, I don't know where it's blown, but anyway. um so there's like ten turns or something on that.

There's some foam on top which I don't know what it actually does. doesn't do anything presumably or is that uh, no. there we go. it's covering.

It's covering a hole in there. sorry. I'm getting a bit medieval on the TAS but it is blowing. It's not something you to repair really.

I wouldn't go in there and uh, but anyway, we'll go down meeting it in the middle so a screw right down. No, there wouldn't be a screw. Is there anything right down in there? Bueller Bueller Anyway, that's very different to what I expected to see. Then what if I try and take off all this tape around here.

Maybe this parts glued on so it looks like we can get around the edge there and break that seal so it looks like this whole thing comes apart as assembly. but there's some glue on there so let me try and get all that out first. So I haven't actually been able to get that open any further. so sorry, it's not that hugely interesting and it basically just came down to.

um, it blew the I sent out of the coil. Yeah, okay. you can probably rewind your own coil. Yeah, go for it.

But yeah, that thing's just cactus. You're better off just paying your 30 bucks or whatever for a new one. especially the massive excursions that went on. this.

it would have just deformed all of the coil stuffs. so I couldn't actually get that apart any further. But obviously I Just believe that's a just a like a permanent magnet assembly that the coil goes through now. I Think what is happening here is because well, the coil.

just obviously it's a moving coil design. It moves within the magnetic field in there now it's completely destroyed and distorted now of course. But I believe how it works is that you can see some glue on the back of there. like there's the glue around this edge here which actually connects which glues onto the top of there.

But then I believe that we didn't see in the teardown because it was all torn off, that the coil was actually glued on to the textile dome or what you know. I believe they're usually called like a textile dome and that is what is causes this thing to tweet. Um, it's physically attached this textile dome very close to the outer rim so that's really interesting, but it's high-frequency stuff. but I felt massive excursions on this thing.

so this thing was just going thump thump thump. So obviously you know the first time it did that it probably just sheared away from the tweeter even if the coil was are still intact the first time I powered it up it. you know it wasn't gonna acoustically work anymore, so that is. Yeah, that's totally cactus.

but there you go, that's inside one of these textile dome tweeters. and I Don't know I Expected something fancier than that, but anyway, that's pretty much all there is to it. Coil attached. It's sort of fairly rigidly attached to the outer rim of that textile dome.

fascinating, with a big-ass magnet behind it, so there's obviously going to be very little excursion in that. But that's not what you expect. That's what woofers are for. Not these little poor little tweeters.

This one is abused. So anyway, it's surprisingly simple, but you know there's a lot of engineering and testing that you know, and performance validation that goes into these sorts of things. So I've no doubt it's a fairly decent textile dome tweeter in terms of response and performance and all that sort of stuff. It's not top-shelf stuff, but anyway, there you go.

I Hope you found that interesting. If you did, please give it a big thumb up. Thumbs up. There we go.

As always, discuss down below. Catch you next time.
