This video covers every step in the re coning of a 1957 jensen p10r alnico 5 speaker from the tweed vibrolux that was featured in a recent video series.
Ceramic cone speaker.
It is deep anodized aluminum where the anodizing ceramic penetrates up to 1 3 of the cone thickness.
What happens when a speaker blows can generally be attributed to two things.
Goodmans would probably give you.
If you are looking for pristine vintage american cleans and higher power handling look no further than the g10c.
The speaker has the traditional ceramic crunch at the end of the cone incursion but is soften by the hemp cone s woody sonic texture.
The g10c is a 10 ceramic speaker with a 35 oz magnet and seamed cone.
As the voice coil s effect lowers the available magnetic field of the alnico magnet the speaker becomes less efficient and the voice coil moves less.
Accuton manufactures loudspeaker drivers in germany.
The infinity team developed a laminated ceramic metal matrix diaphragm cmmd material that exhibits low mass high velocity and high damping.
10 alnicos are more difficult to find.
The first crop of speakers in the early 1950s used alnico magnets which is why some people say they sound more vintage than speakers built with ceramic magnets.
This came with the nib cone as standard all through the 1960 s and never the pulsonics.
Elacs were a popular choice at the time but they are quite bright and chimy.
Accuton make diamond dome tweeters and ceramic cone woofers.
Green 4040 standard cone surround features a new ceramic magnet structure.
Find them mostly in marshall gear.
As for 10 speakers definitely try the 7442 model ceramic speaker.
It boasts an extremely articulate top end with lows that are full and round but controlled.
Mechanical or thermal failure.
Mechanical failure occurs through over excursion of the cone which is when the cone moves too far beyond its limits to the point of damage due to excessive power or low frequencies beyond the cabinet s or speaker s ability.
Lower cost products got a less aggressive.
The fast speaker motor action allows the cones to generate micro cone fine granular distortion which has an alnico like magnet sound to it.
