Description

The TW 6 NG has a square frame and a sealed rear, so it needs no separate tweeter chamber, and it gives a balanced response with clean treble and good power handling. This 8 Ω version is rated at 60 W with a 12 dB/oct. high-pass from 5000 Hz, gives 91 dB (1 W/1 m) and resonates at 1500 Hz.

Typical applications

  • Replacement tweeter for hi-fi speakers
  • Speaker kit builds

Installation and cabinet guidance

Allow a 56 mm panel opening. The frame is 60 mm square with 4.5 x 7 mm fixing slots at the corners on a 66.5 mm circle; mark them from the unit itself rather than assuming the spacing. Behind the panel allow about 27 mm for the 55 mm sealed basket, plus room for the terminals and the wiring.

Mount it on a rigid baffle with a continuous seal between the frame and the panel, tighten the fixings evenly and only enough to seal so the frame is not distorted, and keep the cone clear of any grille. Connect to the 2.8 x 0.5 mm (+)/2.8 x 0.5 mm (-) blade terminals with matching push-on connectors and observe polarity; both blades are the same width here, so note which is which before you fit the driver. The power ratings apply only with a 12 dB/oct. high-pass filter from 5000 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. Use an amplifier suitable for the 8 Ω load.

The rear of the driver is sealed, so it needs no separate tweeter chamber inside the cabinet and can be fitted straight into the main enclosure.

Before ordering as a replacement, check the cut-out, fixing pattern, depth and impedance against the original driver.
