K-77 Alinco vs K-77 ceramic

in this screen shot of some vintage EV material we see the alinco T-35 with a frequency response of 2K to 19K. hard to believe, but the driver was also used in two way systems so the proof is in the pudding.

here we have the ceramic t-35 with a frequency response of 3500hz to 16hz. but there's a long term power handling reference at 4000hz to 20khz. Most folks will tell you the ceramic version is really good for 4500hz to 16khz.

of course...it's hard to compare...different test standards are being referenced. the problem is the two measurements do not use the same standard. the

older use a retma standard. the newer use pink noise at 1 meter. the

older drivers when tested using the newer standard are reported to

only go to 14khz the the t-35 and 12khz for the tw-35. So I'm not

sure what a 19khz retma result really means. I think the important

thing that can't be disputed is that the older drivers had a lower

frequency response capability since they were successfully used in two

way ssytems. the newer drivers can only be used in 3 and 4 way

systems. In terms of where the new coils fit in to all of this....... if you look at it from a 3 and 4 way perspective....the

new coils would be an upgrade. If you look at it from a two way

perspective....the new coils would be a down grade.

Some only had an upper bandwidth only to 10K then took a nose dive,

Yes....there are so many variants of the t-35......some had round cup magnets like the alinco k-77....some were round, but had flat top magnets resembling the T-350. What is interesting is that these older low frequency response achivers were used successfuly in 2 way system.......so my take is a lot of the ooh aaah about alinco T-35's has more to do with how well they perform on the lower end....than the higher end.
