    Default Tweeter Identification

    Hi, I have removed these tweeters from a pair of Mordaunt-Short MS 300 Gold loudspeakers from around 1988.
    The markings do not give much away, but I believe that MS did not make their own drive units so these must be OEM supply.

    I know they look like they came out of a Christmas cracker but does anybody recognize them?

    Chinese made Audax probably. There are a few tweeters about of that type of design.

    Yes, I think you are correct:

    Audax TW6X9A

    It'll probably have a half inch voice coil, ferrofluid in the gap and a tiny neo magnet.

    Can you identify the bass driver as well?

    Hmm. I've seen Heybrook and KEF badged drivers with similar steel frames.

    I don't think they are Kef, the frames look pressed!

    They are pressed. Some of the KEF's were.
