The pole piece perforation coupled with the flow-optimised rounded shape, the damping in the cavity and the ventilated voice coil carrier guarantee a very low resonance frequency. The impedance is linearised by means of an integrated LRC element. This means that the dome can be easily integrated in a network of crossovers. The protective grille is fitted on the inside with an acoustic low-pass filter in the shape of a transparent ring, which does not begin to operate until 25 kHz are achieved, when it damps any material-borne resonance. The grille has the added advantage of improving omnidirectional sound distribution at higher frequencies.\u003c\/p\u003e", "published_at":"2018-10-11T14:38:02", "created_at":"2018-10-11T14:38:02", "vendor":"Visaton", "type":"Tweeter", "tags":["Impedance_8 Ohm","Size_1 inch","Type_Tweeters","Visaton Hifi Drive Units: Tweeters"], "price":15095, "price_min":15095, "price_max":15095, "price_varies":false, "compare_at_price":null, "compare_at_price_min":0, "compare_at_price_max":0, "compare_at_price_varies":true, "all_variant_ids":[15301287116867], "variants":[{ "id":15301287116867, "product_id":1676668469315, "product_handle":"visaton-ke-25-sc-8-ohm-magnetically-shielded-25mm-1ins-high-end-dome-tweeter", "title":"Default Title", "option1":"Default Title", "option2":null, "option3":null, "sku":"1191", "requires_shipping":true, "taxable":true, "featured_image":null,"image_id":null, "available":true, "name":"Visaton KE 25 SC 8 Ohm, 1 Inch, High-End Ceramic Dome Tweeter - Default Title", "options":["Default Title"], "price":15095, "weight":1000, "compare_at_price":null, "inventory_quantity":-2, "inventory_management":null, "inventory_policy":"deny", "inventory_in_cart":0, "inventory_remaining":-2, "incoming":false, "next_incoming_date":null, "taxable":true, "barcode":null}], "available":true,"images":["\/\/impactaudio.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/dcf312408ce4e729cea627675b808b21.jpg?v=1549973270","\/\/impactaudio.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/ke25sc_tz.gif?v=1549973292","\/\/impactaudio.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/ke25sc_8_fs.gif?v=1549973300","\/\/impactaudio.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/ke25sc_rd.gif?v=1549973309","\/\/impactaudio.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/ke25sc_zd.gif?v=1549973322"],"featured_image":"\/\/impactaudio.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/dcf312408ce4e729cea627675b808b21.jpg?v=1549973270", "options":["Title"], "url":"\/products\/visaton-ke-25-sc-8-ohm-magnetically-shielded-25mm-1ins-high-end-dome-tweeter"}

Description

The KE 25 SC has a ceramic dome, a perforated pole piece, a damped cavity and a ventilated voice coil former, which together give a very low resonance, while an integrated LRC network linearises the impedance and compensates that resonance. This 8 Ω version is rated at 80 W with a 12 dB/oct. high-pass from 4000 Hz and gives 89 dB (1 W/1 m).

Typical applications

  • High-end hi-fi systems
  • Tweeter for multi-way hi-fi speakers

Installation and cabinet guidance

Allow an 82 mm panel opening. The faceplate is 104.5 mm in diameter, with 4.2 mm fixing holes countersunk to 7.5 mm on a 94 mm circle; mark them from the unit itself rather than assuming the spacing. Behind the panel allow about 55 mm for the 80 mm rear housing, plus room for the terminals and the wiring, and confirm that depth before committing to a slim cabinet.

Mount it on a rigid baffle with a continuous seal between the faceplate and the panel, tighten the fixings evenly and only enough to seal so the faceplate is not distorted, and keep the dome clear of any grille. Connect to the 4.8 x 0.8 mm (+)/2.8 x 0.8 mm (-) blade terminals with matching push-on connectors and observe polarity; the two blade widths identify it. The power ratings apply only with a 12 dB/oct. high-pass filter from 4000 Hz, so feed it through the system crossover or a high-pass filter that gives at least that protection; never connect it directly to a full-range signal. The impedance is linearised by the integrated LRC network, which simplifies the crossover design, and the magnet system is shielded. At 0.98 kg it is heavy for a dome tweeter, so make sure the baffle and the fixings can carry it. Use an amplifier suitable for the 8 Ω load.

Visaton lists the WG 148 R and WG 220x150 waveguides as accessories for this tweeter.
