Very excited to see the Neo 3 tweeter in more offerings!  When I visited GR in March, it was more than clear to me that Hobbs is as passionate about our shared hobby as anyone on the planet.  I bet he is super proud of how this speaker turned out.  Can't wait to hear it!

That waveguide is really, really cool. I just finished building my NX Studios yesterday! Bah, I thought I was gonna be free from FOMO for a while... !

Look what I found...

It's too bad Hobbs has to sleep at the shop now to print waveguides.  Who the heck crosses a tweeter at 1,000hz?  Oh, Hobbs says to Danny "Please hold my beer".    Ribbon tweeter?... yeah, almost like a "ribbon midrange" too!

That waveguide and back cup could be the catalyst for some very compelling ideas... and a lot of fun.  People are going to be able to have incredible sound for not a lot of money.

Very cool! I always learn something when I watch the Tech-Talk videos

These will be great for my work bench.

Will the plans and prices be available soon?

[mkrawcz]

This is going to sound amazing. I’m so in.

Hobbs/Danny, what about making the stl file available so people can print the waveguide themselves? If not, I recommend a Bambu Lab P1S or X1 Carbon to print them, you will save a lot more time.

I've already mentioned that as an option on the product description, and I may make it an option directly on the product page.

The plan is to order the P1P, as I don't plan to print in anything other than PLA, so the side walls of the P1S and extra features of X1C aren't really of much use to me, unless I was looking to print high-temperature filaments, but it should cut printing times in half over my current modified Creality Ender 3.

Sorry Hobbs, I just noticed you mentioned that on the website and the P1P will certainly get the job done.

This would be an awesome idea for your designs that require a small wave guide.  Given we are DIY people, a lot of us either have a 3D printer or we have access to one.

Hobbs, will your waveguide / cup work for the M165 driver as well, and pretty much any 5.5"-6.5" driver?  Not sure if there is a voice coil depth difference that makes a different waveguide necessary.

Looks like you found your replacement for the BG Neo 8/10 tweeters. Very cool stuff guys!

[czechm8]

Excited about this new product!

It should be able to work quite well with any driver you want to pair it with.

The Neo 10 is a different animal altogether, as it's more of a midrange driver than a tweeter.
The only driver we've seen that comes close is the New Radian LM10

Looking at those measurements and after living with what I have and knowing its measurements... your little speaker may already be an Instant Classic.

Is that the best spectral decay you or Danny have ever seen from a box speaker?

What about the 10" planar PS Audio is using? Externally at least it looks very similar to the Neo 10.

Gotcha

Point being , with the WG neo 3 you have a tweeter that can cross very low, that seemed to be lacking after the BG went out of production. Fun with speaker design!

Great work! How long before the NX Bravo XCS MTM? “Return of the N3” (queue John Williams soundtrack)
