Test Bench: The New TW030WA23/24 Tweeters from Wavecor

This Test Bench characterizes an updated version of the popular TW030WA23/24 tweeter from Wavecor, the latest in the company's 30mm tweeter lineup. The A23 is the 4Ω version, while the A24 is the 8Ω version and they are both available without a faceplate for custom mounting (the TW030A25/26 model). While the TW030WA23/24 have a very similar feature set to the Wavecor TW030WA13/14 tweeters, the biggest difference is a new graphene reinforced textile (Tetoron) 30mm soft dome.

Compact 1” to 2.5” diameter full-range drivers (micro speakers) are unquestionably one of the most used transducers in consumer electronics. They are finding broad applications in smart speakers, soundbars, and portable Bluetooth speakers. This Test Bench examines the FSB611015-1400 neodymium full-range driver from Eastech's "designed in Denmark" Punktkilde line. This is a 1.5” diameter 4 Ω driver built on a proprietary stamped frame that is fully vented below the spider mounting shelf. This article was published originally in Voice Coil, November 2018.
