soundbug1 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Was wondering if this is a ceramic style driver? From an old klipschorn. Thanks. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundbug1 Posted May 27, 2003 Author Share Posted May 27, 2003 Darn! What do ceramics look like? I saw someone posting about a ceramic driver. Any such thing? Thanks, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike82 Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Ceramic drivers are usually white and concave/smooth. Quite a few manufacturers are using them. Avalon, Equation, Kharma, etc. Visit the CES show reports at Enjoy the Music (www.enjoythemusic.com) and you'll see a few photos of them. I used to sell the Equation which uses a ceramic tweeter. The ceramic tweeter was fantastic- clean, no break up on complex passages and great upper frequency extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soundbug1 Posted May 28, 2003 Author Share Posted May 28, 2003 WOW! That is an interesting website! That went on my favorites. I'll be reading that one for a long time, over and over. THANKS! Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 Now that we've had a load of fun out of you, the attached pic shows a woofer with a ceramic magnet. If you don't know the difference, you are too young to have ever seen an AlNiCo driver in person. EVERY car stereo driver has a ceramic magnet.

soundbug1 Posted May 28, 2003 Author Share Posted May 28, 2003 Thank you. I've seen tons of em but never knew they were refered to as ceramics. Are these what people refer to as mud magnets too? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnA Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Yes. They are poured to shape from a slurry; mud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
