RAAL foam caps
« on: 25 Jun 2011, 12:16 am »
I just saw Rick's Fountek tweek suggestion on Madisound's board. Any idea where to buy them without the tweeter? $612 is a lot for 4 pieces of foam.   :lol:

My designs factor in the on and off-axis response curves so the foam may attenuate the top octave response in a negative way.

Could this be used on the ssr tweeters? If so where can you get them?
Thanks,

This tweek is for new designs only and was something I suggested to the DIY community.

You can get the RAAL foam caps by calling Madisound as they are not on the website.  They are $20 pair and have magnets imbedded in the foam that keep them attached to the metal faceplate.  There are two models: compact rounded for the shorter ribbons and longer sloped for the longer ribbons.  They work well with my Aurum Cantus ribbons.
