gearing up for a move and my little box that I got with my jazz modules is now MIA..

so what are the 3 values that you included?.and I know that they were mills...but is there a model number?

so. Mr. Duke, I need .name brand , model, and resistor value...

if I wanted to experiment..does it have to be high current wirewound types?? what other kinds could i strap in?

btw... I sent you an email about a some Jazz Modules...

Hi ncdrawl,

The interchangeable tweeter-level-modifying resistors that go in that external cup were Mills 1% 12-watt non-inductive wirewounds, and the values were 30 ohms, 47 ohms, and 82 ohms.   They're available from Parts Express:

This outboard resistor is bypassing a resistor in the crossover network, effectively lowering its value.  It acts partially as a shelf control, and partially as a tilt control; in other words, it has a bit more effect at 10 kHz than down at 2 kHz.  The lowest value outboard resistor value gives you the most top end, and no resistor (infinite bypass resistance) gives you the least top end.   

You put pretty much any type resistor you want in there.  Even a 5-watt resistor should be good up to about 150 watts input, so there's some margin of safety there.

Hi Larkston,

You can of course use resistors larger than 68 ohms.   I will have Soniccraft send you some higher value Mills resistors.  I'm thinking 82 ohms, 120 ohms, and 180 ohms. 

Best wishes,

Duke
