turntable3 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Hi Folks, I have a question concerning the scala-tweeters: one tweeter is conntected to + on the left side and - on the right side of the speaker-chassis the second tweeter is connected to + on the right side and - on the left side of the speaker-chassis The + connector for the tweeter on both the crossovers is located in the same position. There are no flaws in the sound. But this cabling makes me nervous. Is it possible that some tweeters have + on the right side and another tweeter of the same type on the left side? The scalas had been built April 20th 2006. I am looking forward to yours answers. Have a nice day Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Reed Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 The tweeter can be mounted either way... upside down or right side up. It's the same either way. Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turntable3 Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 Tony, the tweeters are mounted right upside. Is it possible that one of the the diaphragms inside is "upside down"? Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark1101 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Take a flashlight and look closely at the tweeter terminals. The + is sometimes marked with a red dot or just red in general. Minus (-) is sometimes in black. As mentioned the tweeter can be mounted so that the + could be on either side and it is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groomlakearea51 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Immaterial. Pair of bronze K-77's has the factory part number stencil "upside" down on one and upside up on the other. + & - are "backwards, respectively. No known reason. Like said above, just check the terminals to make sure + is + and - is -. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Reed Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 You could always unscrew one of the tweeters and flip it over to match the other. It won't make any sonic difference, but it might make you feel better just knowing they "match". Sometimes, things like that annoy me too.

turntable3 Posted April 23, 2008 Author Share Posted April 23, 2008 THX for your answers. @Tony, today I tried to find the red dot (+) on the tweeters with a mirror and a little maglite. I could not see any red dot. I won't unscrew the tweeter to get further into this. Because there are no sonic flaws I try to forget about this. Scalas sound great!
