Another Audiphile Question:Speaker Question: Inside port, High Pass filter?

(1/4) > >>

DW1961:
I'm wondering what this is? It looks like it is attached directly to the tweeter, looking trough the bass port. Also, this speaker says, Maximum Input Power: 30 watts. But I can't believe it is peak power. Chinese company but could not contact the seller. Sounds pretty good though.



tooki:
Just a simple capacitor high pass filter as a very cheap “crossover” for the tweeter, to keep it from getting all the bass.

What is your question about the power?

Oh there are no specs on this thing. The only specs are 6 ohms and the owners manual says, "The maximum input power of this speaker is 60 watts (30 per channel). To prevent damage to the speaker, do not supply power in excess of the maximum input power." They don't specify peak/RMS. In fact, they don't give any other specifications. However, compared to my Klipsch R-51M speakers, these put out about the same volume at the same volume control level, so they seem pretty sensitive and sound pretty good for what they are.

Is there any problem doing a tweeter like that?

bson:
It's probably 30W peak power.  If it were anything else (continuous, average) you'd still want to know what the peak power spec is.

If it were peak, then wouldn't the manufacturer want people to keep power WAY below 30 watts per speaker? For instance, my Klipsch can handle 85 continuous with 340 peak.

I'd rather know the continuous than peak, if I had to choose either one.
