Frequently Asked Questions about Illuminator R3004/602000


What special features does the Scanspeak Illuminator R3004/602000 Tweeter have?

The Scanspeak Illuminator R3004/602000 is equipped with a patented symmetrical drive motor (SD-2) that ensures maximum efficiency. The phase plug design is also patented and enhances sound dispersion. The front plate and housing are made of aluminum, providing stable mounting and vibration damping. A sound-permeable protective grille secures the diaphragm from dust and dirt without affecting sound quality. The flat, resonance-free aluminum chamber ensures exceptional sound fidelity. The flange with a diameter of 9 mm and a depth of 21.5 mm allows for versatile installation even in limited space conditions.

What is the power handling of the Scanspeak Illuminator R3004/602000?

The Scanspeak Illuminator R3004/602000 Tweeter can be continuously powered with up to 50 watts RMS and withstand a maximum power handling of 130 watts. These parameters make it ideal for demanding home Hi-Fi setups and car audio systems where high performance is required without compromising sound quality. This is particularly advantageous if you enjoy listening to music at high volumes. The tweeter is designed to maintain its performance over long periods without overheating or distortion, which is especially useful in high-power applications.

What impedance and sensitivity does the Illuminator R3004/602000 have?

The impedance of the Scanspeak Illuminator R3004/602000 is 4 Ω, making it an excellent choice for many common Amplifiers. The sensitivity is 87.4 dB at 1m / 2.83V, ensuring efficient sound radiation and high sound quality without the need for excessively high amplification power. This combination of impedance and sensitivity ensures that the tweeter harmonizes optimally with both standard Hi-Fi amplifiers and high-end power amplifiers. This can be particularly beneficial in acoustically demanding areas to reproduce sound in detail and clarity.

What are the dimensions of the flat flange of the Illuminator R3004/602000?

The Scanspeak Illuminator R3004/602000 Tweeter is equipped with a flange that has a diameter of only 9 mm and a depth of 21.5 mm. The compact design allows for easy integration into various sound applications, both in home audio and car sound. Especially in tight installation conditions, as often found in vehicles, the benefits of this design become apparent. The flange thus allows for flexible installation options without the need for significant modifications to existing speaker openings, which is particularly advantageous for retrofitting.

What is the resonance frequency of the Scanspeak Illuminator R3004/602000?

The Scanspeak Illuminator R3004/602000 Tweeter has a resonance frequency of 625 Hz. This frequency is crucial for the transient response and low-pass filtering in the motor structure design of the tweeter. The targeted placement of the resonance frequency allows for optimized sound reproduction and minimizes distortion in the transition area to midrange drivers. A low-placed resonance frequency can help integrate the high-frequency range smoothly and unobtrusively into the overall sound of your audio system, enhancing the listening experience, especially in demanding home or vehicle applications.

What materials are used for the protection and stability of the tweeter?

The Scanspeak Illuminator R3004/602000 combines various aluminum components to ensure both protection and stability. The housing cover and front plate are made entirely of aluminum, which not only provides mechanical robustness but also protects the delicate internal components from external influences. Another protective strategy is the sound-permeable grille, which protects the diaphragm from physical damage without compromising audio quality. Such material decisions are essential, especially when the tweeter is used in applications with high demands on mechanical durability.

What Thiele Small parameters characterize the Illuminator R3004/602000?

The key Thiele Small parameters of the Scanspeak Illuminator R3004/602000 include the Compliance Equivalent Volume (Vas) of 0.0003 ft³, which indicates the amount of air the Tweeter can displace. Additionally, the mechanical quality factor (Qms) is 5.73, the electromagnetic Q (Qes) is 1.43, and the total quality factor (Qts) is 1.14. The mechanical compliance value (Cms) is 0.19 mm/N. The combination of this data provides a complete overview of the efficiency and performance of the speaker across different frequencies and allows for precise planning in demanding audio systems.

What is the diameter of the dome of the Tweeter?

The dome of the Scanspeak Illuminator R3004/602000 has a diameter of 25 mm or 1 inch. This diameter is significant for the reproduction of high frequencies and greatly influences the sound character of the speaker. A larger dome diameter can lead to a wider dispersion at higher frequencies and helps to create a smooth transition to other speakers in the system. In combination with the precise control provided by the symmetrical drive motor, the dome supports the excellent high-frequency performance of the Illuminator R3004/602000.

How does the maximized linear excursion (Xmax) affect the sound of the Tweeter?

With a maximum linear excursion (Xmax) of 0.2 mm, the Scanspeak Illuminator R3004/602000 is designed to provide low distortion and precise sound reproduction even at high power. Xmax describes the maximum distance the voice coil can move forward or backward without leaving the range of linear motion. A higher Xmax compared to competing models allows for the detailed reproduction of loud and complex musical passages without causing unwanted sound distortions. This is particularly important in well-tuned audio installations where sound precision is required.

What tips are there for installing the Illuminator R3004/602000 in car audio systems?

For the installation of the Scanspeak Illuminator R3004/602000 in a car audio system, its dimensions should primarily be considered: with a flange diameter of 9 mm and a depth of 21.5 mm, it is ideal for installation in limited space conditions. Furthermore, the aluminum housing of the Tweeter ensures that even vibrations from driving movements do not cause sound impairments. Therefore, when mounting in cars, it is important to ensure that there is sufficient free space around the Tweeter to allow for unobstructed dispersion. A precise alignment towards the listener significantly improves high-frequency representation.
