Red dot on tweeter

[guy]

Hi,

looking for advice on tweeter polarity - Scanspeak D2008, is red dot (brown cable) positive?

Yes, terminal marked red will be tweeter's +VE, however it may be connected electrically out of phase to be acoustically in phase around the crossover point.

Cheers - I wanted to know as I was changing over the D2008's for a Hiquphon OW1 (which has + marker on terminal). Apparently, as you say, the tweeters are connected out of phase at the crossover but I just wanted to do a "like for like" connection.

Now all done and feeling rather pleased with the job

The OW1 is likely to be a couple of db less sensitive than the D2008. You may or may not notice this.

Yes, that did worry me but initial impressions are very good (using in a mk1 Rega Ela)

Most of the speakers I've tried would have benefitted from a 1-2db drop in the treble. The ones I've found most satisfying in the long run are those that wouldn't, Kef Reference Models 1-4 and my current Amphion Kryptons.

I though you meant something like this.

This is red felt inside my Monacor DT300 tweeter.

This required some surgery on the driver.

I think that would be well beyond my skills
