Just installed some Voxativ AC-X field coils in my Oris horns - results are staggering
Field coil is where it's at replaced some very nice AER MD3's
just need to see if I can fit some 15" bass field coils in the bass cabs

Very nice!
Interesting, never heard field coil drivers.
I don't know much about them, but presumably they are DC energised from a very clean power supply. Otherwise the ingress of hum would be a problem.
I just bought some (very nicely made) L Cao full range 8" units from China and hear that now Mr. Cao has released a field coil version. I may investigate.
What is the power consumption of yours by the way?
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
I heard some 70 year old German ones at a previous Owston, sounded great.

Hi Geoff was looking at the L Cao awhile back they look interesting.
These field coils work between 6-18v DC,recommended PSU voltage is 12v and battery ,currently using an Optima "Yellow Top"
Again old making good with new manufacturing techniques

Heard some WE field coils once made in 1928 , staggering if you can house speakers 12feet high

battery is best !
but the Optima car battery is shagged so butchered a Keysource UPS I had - will probably run four 7.2Ah per field coil

That's a mad set up you've got there, very unique!
