Elso Kwak Posted February 26, 2001 Share Posted February 26, 2001 Hi, Has anyone tried the EV DH2T driver in the Klipschorn? I have been using the EV 1824M for 25 years and was wondering if this DH2T with its titanium diafragma was better.

WMcD Posted February 27, 2001 Share Posted February 27, 2001 I'm using 1828 drivers. They tested better than the 1824. Gil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted February 28, 2001 Share Posted February 28, 2001 The DH2 is the worst sounding of the current DH1,2,3 lineup.Klipsch uses the predecessor of the DH2, the DH1506, in a couple of the pro models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elso Kwak Posted March 12, 2001 Author Share Posted March 12, 2001 Hi DJK, Thanks for your response. Did you hear the DH2 on a Klipschorn or on a Electrovoice horn?, because that makes a big difference. The DH2T is the only one that fits on the Klipsch K400 horn with its 1 3/8-18 thread. And the DH3 is more of a tweeter. ------------------ ELSO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted March 13, 2001 Share Posted March 13, 2001 The DH1506 had an aluminum dome with a kapton surround.The DH2 is all one piece titanium.It does not sound very good crossed at 400hz with a low order crossover.EV has been playing around with the thickness of the titanium on the DH2 for some time now.First they tried the thicker stuff of the DH1 and then the thinner stuff of the DH3 and now they have gone to something in the middle.None of them sound good.The newest is the best and I would not crossover at less than 800hz.For something that spins on to the K400 that sounds better than an 1824 I would get a DH1506.If you can't find a DH1506 I would get an 1829.While the throat size is a poor match for the K400 the 1829 still sounds great.Leave the cap plug on the rear exit.With some network tweaking I have been able to get the 1829 to measure +/- 1dB to 6.3Khz.
