ConclusionThe Scan-Speak Discovery H2606 / 920000 is a fine tweeter, which, when used wisely, leaves practically nothing to be desired. Without hesitation, it can be used from 1,5kHz, even with high level requirements. Depending on the application possibly even deeper. Due the somewhat special dispersion this tweeter asks for a mindfull connection to te midwoofer. The H2606 is used in the kit Suzy-Q

ConclusionThe reader may have noticed one or the other similarity to the Peerless DX25TG09-04 (Vifa XD-270 F/4) with Waveguide ... The Scan-Speak is practically equivalent in all respects. It measures on axis a touch more restless, can play minimal louder, could probably be crossed slightly deeper, . |

The amplitude response of the Scan-Speak D3004 / 660000 Illuminator is extremely broadband. Full level already from 600 Hertz.
From 600Hz - 30kHz + -1,5dB linear with a broadband increase (+ 2dB) of 1,5kHz - 6kHz. The average efficiency is 92dB / 2,83V. The omnidirectional behavior can be described as very good. Below 30 °, 20kHz is reached with practically full level. The resonance frequency is extremely low at 470Hz and gives hope for a very deep separability to the TMT / MT. The impedance response shows a minimal disturbance of around 1,5 kHz, which is also reflected in the amplitude response by a "level" that is considered harmless. |

The Scan-Speak D3004 / 660000 illuminator has extremely low harmonic distortion.
At all measured levels, K3 remains below 500% from 0,3 Hz and <1% from 0,1 kHz and is largely independent of the excitation signal. K2 increases evenly with the level, and runs at a very low level. Clinker components of higher order are negligible. |

Conclusion The Scan-Speak D3004 / 660000 Illuminator is, in the sum of its properties, an excellent tweeter. Very broadband use, extremely low distortion and with very good omnidirectional behavior. There was a considerable design effort to create an extraordinary tweeter. The Air-Circ Magnet System (6 Circular Neodymium Magnets) seems to work very effectively. Only the not absolutely linear amplitude response on the axis clouds the otherwise impeccable impression minimal. By skillful wiring and / or selection of the baffle can still achieve a virtually perfectly linear frequency response. Also noteworthy is the noble-looking exterior of the tweeter. The aluminum front panel and the seemingly futuristic magnet system make your heart beat faster, and in the sense of psychoacoustics, the driver will probably (even) sound even better ()) In order to do justice to the called price of RRP 180 €, features are required that set the driver apart from others. In my opinion, these are definitely given with the Scan-Speak D3004 / 660000 Illuminator and the driver is probably his Price-worthy! |
