Scan-Speak Rediscovery Loudspeaker Kit
New 2-way design featuring the latest Scan-Speak loudspeaker technology! Brought to you by Madisound in conjunction with speaker designer Suman Jana.
18W/8531G-00 7" Revelator mid/woofer. Non-resonant cone and dust cap structure, dynamic linear suspension, SD-1 magnet system, "Grasshopper" cast chassis with maximized air flow and resonance terminating mounting system. Less resonance in all structures; lower compression and higher linearity; faster termination of excess energy; and higher sound pressure capability. This 7" slit paper cone driver is widely considered one of the best mid/bass units in existence. Made in Denmark.
Discovery D2608/9130 1" Textile Dome HDS Tweeter. The Discovery tweeter uses a very light, low mass "soft dome" with high internal damping, and a highly-optimized, low-compression magnet system, which was designed especially for the low mass dome. The result is a driver with both good sensitivity and an impressive range into the lower frequencies. The low mass dome, coupled with a fully vented motor system, provides non-compressed sound reproduction over the entire frequency response. This combination allows the Discovery tweeter to be used in systems with lower cross-over points than recommended for most normal tweeters, making this product a powerful tool for any acoustic designer in the process of tuning a system.
The Revelator is a champion performer with the cleanest midrange and low frequency extension to 35 Hz (-3db) with a minor inconvenience, impedance blip at 850Hz. The designer selected Scanspeak Discovery D2608/9130 tweeter (formerly Peerless HDS 810921) over the 6600 Revelator due to cost and cleaner low end, and decided to cross the drivers at 1500 Hz to cover up the impedance blip of the revelator with acoustic 4th order slope after a lot of listening and tweaking.
