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.

Building on KRK's legacy of accuracy and performance, the brand announces the expansion of its Classic line of studio monitors with the addition of 7- and 8-inch models. The studio monitor manufacturer that is still part of the reborn Gibson decided to reinforce its Classic product range, designed using concepts from the brand’s previous ROKIT lines, to deliver the same high-quality results that users have come to expect from KRK at a lower price-point.

The driver in this Test Bench is the Wavecor TW022WA09 22mm high-end textile dome tweeter. The TW022WA09 was unveiled by Wavecor together with the TW022WA08/10 high-end tweeter, a new series of 22mm chambered neodymium drivers with increased sensitivity. The precision cloth (textile) dome ensures an extended frequency response, while the voice coil design offers higher power handling and low resonance frequency.

Scan-Speak has saved some last minutes surprises to end the year of the company's 50th anniversary in full force. The Danish engineering team just unveiled a new Ellipticor driver, expanding the rapidly growing family with the new Ellipticor D2404/552000 dome tweeter. This latest addition offers an impressive set of specifications according to the released datasheet, and should strongly motivate many speaker designers targeting high-end designs.

Renowned high-end OEM manufacturer Wavecor continues to keep a focus on creativity and announced the results of its latest development efforts with three new drivers, all now in stock and ready for sampling.
