Dave A Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 As the title says what exactly is the difference. Is it the diaphragm only or are there other differences? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OO1 Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 found this --- Bonehead Forum Veteran Klipsch Employees 1034 700 posts Report post Posted April 25, 2015 Since we don't sell them as raw drivers we currently don't have spec sheets on them. On the Kt series the need to add a snout to take the driver to a 1.4" or 2" exit has been removed. The driver front plate exits at 2". The phase plug for the 1132 is different than the phase plug of the 1133. The KT diap has a few tweaks but should work.

Dave A Posted June 8, 2020 Author Share Posted June 8, 2020 Well the answer is the 1132 has a big rubber gasket cover thingy around the magnet and the 1133 does not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coytee Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I think the 1132 can be viewed as a driver who's intent is to be in a 2-way system and the 1133 is intended to be in a 3-way system. That's my understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I didn't read your question, I just wanted to show you how smart I wasn't. Do I have another voice in the back of my head (typically drowned out by the other voices in my head).... that one has a phase plug? (implying the other might not) I shrug my shoulders. Too many voices. Anyone think to ask @Chief bonehead?? I understand he might have an inside track on the differences. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave A Posted June 9, 2020 Author Share Posted June 9, 2020 He's a busy guy and I don't want to bother him with questions until I have spent some time trying to find an answer first. As it turns out the answer was simple to see when I placed some side by side with an old 1132 I had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted June 9, 2020 Share Posted June 9, 2020 The 1132 is the American version. The 1132 A is the Canadian version A? LOL. I have had both the snout version and the non snout version of the 1133 which rolls off at about 5 Khz., so it's defininitely 3 way. Snout and non snout were BOTH a 2" exit. I'm pretty sure they use the same Titanium Diaphragm, magnet, etc. but use different phase plugs to shift the band upwards for the 1132 for 2 way with shelving.

The visual clue is the rubber thing around the outside of the magnet which denotes the 1132. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
