Info Le 1400h. HELP.

[matsj]

I have found a pair Le 1400h but i can´t find any info about it. Can someone help me.

mats

[subwoof]

I am unfamiliar with that part number.

I have 1400PRO ( Nd mag, ribbed surround ) and Nd1400 and Nd1401 which are the foam edged versions along with 2217H ( ferrite mag, ribbed surround ).

And also some consumer LE14A and LE14H-1

Maybe this is a ferrite mag, new frame version with foam surround that is in one of the japanese models??

Send a picture!

I am at work now, can i email the pictures to someone ?

That certainly looks like an LE14H-3 frame, and an Aquaplas'd cone. The foam surrounds tell me you're good to go with those, most probably. Measuring with Woofer Tester 2 would get you the T/S parameters, but just determining the Fs alone with a signal generator, resistor, and multimeter would be useful.

[herve M]

What is written under the cone ? C8R le1400 ?
It's home (or studio ) version of 2217H ?

[matsj]

I don´t know , i have to ask the seller about that.

- That's a ME150H magnetic assembly grafted onto a 2217H basket . Buy em!
- They'll be a higher resolution woofer than a le14H-3 .
- They'll also have the compromises inherent of the deeper gapped type drivers .
- Put them into 3.5 cu ft boxes tuned to 32 hz / as a start .

hello. the only info I found http://www.diysubwoofers.org/talkshop/messages/17116.htm

[dino]

I have A pair of L250. but the woofers are missing, maybe I have a better chance getting my hand on some le1400h It is hard as hell to get a pair of le14h-1 or le14h-3 . thanks for the info on Le1400h more info http://www.jblpro.com/pages/tour/array.htm

[sourceoneaudio]

That is not an LE14H-1 or -3. here is a side view of a LE14H-1 for future reference.

J/S-S1A :D

[Titanium Dome]

The casting looks the same as an LE14H-3.

[sourceoneaudio]

T-Dome,
So the LE14H-3 has the extra bracing cast into it also? I was under the impression the basket was the same toooooooooo? Thank you for the correction.

J/S-S1A :o:

I spoke with jbl parts and the le1400 goes for a little over 700.00 each, ouch!

Thanks to everyone for info and help.

And they go into what speaker?

[matsj]

Guido you got mail. I whrote wrong in my mail to you it´s not a me150 cone. I´m stupid :) .

mats

[Guido]

I´m stupid :) .mats

Sure you are not!

All this basket - magnet combinations can drive one crazy :barf:

Could you please post that pic with open voice coil gap here at the forum?

[dino]

the 2217 goes into the 4893 array series subs. I dont know what the le-1400 go into

[matsj]

This one Guido ?

[matsj]

Second pair bought :) so i hope it´s right version of them now. I hope i´ll get them next week.

mats

[Zilch]

This one Guido ?Stunning!!

[matsj]

Maybe one more pair for sale, byt these need a new foam. i will get som pictures tomorrow.

Dino: Le 1400h where for jbl Ti 7000, but jbl in Denmark never build them and no one else either. So i think the factory sold them to their emploied in Denmark and they put some into the European Le250Ti. I´m not shure but that was what i was told about them.

[Guido]

This one Guido ?mats

Yes, thanks. Just for reference.

We need to get the T/S Parameters measured.

- Good Purchase(s) Mats ! These will be very nice drivers for DIY projects.
- They'll take some effort to really maximize their potential / but I feel you'll really enjoy the extra resolution built into this gap topology .

:)

[dino]

matsj . thanks for the input:D

[matsj]

No problem Dino.

The third pair is a Le 14-1 and they need new foam on both. It´s a Lansing member selling them. They were from a pair Le 250ti.

I don´t know yet how big diffrence there is on these elements ?

I have to meassure the T/S before i can say anything.

I´m not happy :biting: . One of the seller have change his mind and have sold them to another buyer. And i think i know who he is :banghead: . He is a LH member.

Hi Mats

That's really too bad ( especially if they were scooped up by someone here at LHF / BTW; it wasn't me ).

Hopefully your other purchase ( for a pair of le1400H woofs ) is secure .


:)

[Titanium Dome]

Do you think this member used the info here to contact the seller and take away your purchase?

[matsj]

Yes but i needed 4. Now i don´t know what i shall do :( . I will buy the other pair ( a friend is picking them up in this week ) and i think i will offer them to a another LH member. I have 2 interested.

That´s what you get when you open your mouth. In the future i won´t say a thing.

When I want something or am about to close a deal, I usually won't write anything here. A very few unscrupulous people will use the information to steal what you worked to get. Sometimes they will brag about how they got an ebay seller to end early or talked someone into a cheap price to beat out someone else.

I dislike this. But the seller is equally at fault for breaking an agreement and showing a lack of integrity. If I know who these sellers are, I will not buy from them.

[matsj]

TD: The member have asked Question´s here about them and his ad was out for 2 days. My seller liked his ad more an got more money for them.
I was going to pay what the seller want`s. It wasn´t me who set the price.

I know right now your down about the loss of this purchase / & you think your glass is half empty / but really from my POV ( point of view ), it's half full . So;;;

- Hold tightly onto the two that you are getting and use them as your main Left Right speakers.
- If I remember correctly you wanted 4 so that you could use two as surrounds or maybe it was one as a centre for HT.
- Either way you may still come into another pair of le1400H ( because of your location ) / or / maybe you'll soon have a chance at a pair of le14h ( from a parted out L220 ).
- The le14h is a short coil le14h-1 and is slightly more efficient ( though the higher avarage Z in its' impedance curve makes it appear about the same ) .
- Realistically, you don't need all the extra coil depth inherent in the le14h-1 or 3 since you're going to be using these speakers with some of your 6, 18" subwoofers ( 2245h, 2242H or 2243H )

- As to the blighter that scooped them / he'll eventually surface needing info on how to deal with these unique woofs / then ,,,, :o: ;) :p

[Robh3606]

As to the blighter that scooped them / he'll eventually surface needing info on how to deal with these unique woofs / then ,,,, :o: ;) :p

He's going to need the T/S as it's a unique driver and the published specs for the 14 A H -3 won't work. Sooner of latter he will have to ask. Shame your deal got screwed up. I am with T Dome I won't say a word until the deal is done. Same thing when Giskard said there were 093Ti's available and someone purchased the whole lot from JBL and screwed all others down the road if they needed a driver replaced. People suck.

Rob:banghead:

[matsj]

I have spoken with the buyer and he didn´t know that it was the same speakers .So i take it back what i said before.
My seller contacted him and didn´t said he allready have maked me a deal . He got more money now.

I just feel sorry because it was me who took this speakers up and everybody want these now.

- At this point, the honorable thing for the other buyer would be for him to stand down and give you the "first right of refusal" in matching the higher purchase price that is now demanded by the seller.
- IMO; The seller should have gone this route in the first place. The seller should have given you first crack at buying at a higher price if he wasn't happy with the initial arrangements you two had made .


I just feel sorry because it was me who took this speakers up and everybody want these now.

- That online posting of a current replacement price ( 700 USD was it from euroHarman ? ) certainly wasn't the best thing to happen for your deal / though over here we know that these high euroHarman values usually translate roughly, into a net US value of low $ 400(s) USD . ( If obtainable from Harman US )

- A highly inflated replacement cost unfortunately makes people think that they should obtain this woofer ( at all costs ) if only because of its' highish value.

- That ( inflated sense of ) value unfortunately doesn't address the fact that this type of woofer ( with it's unique LF voicing ) is the wrong sort for those people who are used to the sound of JBLs' legacy products such as the le14h-1 ( or for that matter, any of the 7 mm gapped woofers of yesterday ).
- ie; the le1400H is "not a slam-dunk better woofer" for use in L250 or 250Ti systems .
- In fact, it's ( 1400H ) unique voicing will likely effectively rob those 250 style systems of their "sense of VLF ( bass ) extension". Then there'll be tears all round ( except for the seller ). :blink: :banghead:

Earlk: I was hoping to make a new 5.4 HT with these drivers 2435hpl+ horn + Le1400h+ 18" ( 4x2245, 2x2243, 2x 2242 ).

[matsj]

I wasn´t going to pay so much for them. I just hope the seller contact me and we can continue our deal. For the firsth price.

- This approach of waiting for the seller to rethink his "deal making savy", seems unlikely to produce a happy outcome for you.

[Guido]

Wasn't me :no:

Sorry for that. But there are other nice speakers. Get some LE14H-3 from the states or LE14H-1 over here.

[herve M]

:bs: Help, wanted pair 14' LE14h(-1 or 3 ) or 1400 .

(I would to build DMS1 style. I have two 2217h basket+motor, and 2235h pair. Can I to build LE14 with 2235h motor in 2217 chassis ?):o:

(I would to build DMS1 style. I have two 2217h basket+motor, and 2235h pair. Can I to build LE14 with 2235h motor in 2217 chassis ?)

(A) DMS1
- Why bother with the DMS1 ? It's a failure as far as being a viable MTM design ( this is acknowledged by those inside JBL and reported here sometime ago ).

- IMO, It needs a 800 hz ( or less ) crossover point to work properly and its' small waveguide horn won't come anywhere close to supporting that frequency ( or so I'm told since I don't have one here ) .

(B) Creating a le14h-1 from a 2217/2235 marriage of assembly parts ?
- Don't know ! I doubt it due to the 2 woofers being designed about 15 years apart.
- But even if the dimensions work out / buying le14-1 recones is going to kill the affordability of such an idea .
- ( I believe you'd have better luck marrying a 2217h basket onto a 2227H magnetic assembly. This appears to be the genesis of the 1400H. Measure the bolt hole patterns on your basket case 2217s and then compare to a 2227 in need of a recone )
- It'll be cheaper to just buy original le14h-3(s) or eBay some type 1(s) .



:)

[herve M]

My actual test with single a 2235h + 2332/2430h with the DSC280 /DMS1 preset, the result is very conclusive and higher than 4430/4343. I thought of the 2235 in 2217, because 2235 motor seems identical to the LE14H

:)hervé

[herve M]

2217magnetic assembly = 2226

ok, however, LE14H-3 magnetic assembly = ??? other woofer ?? what model ?
the 1,25 Tesla is current..

- The magnetic assembly for the LE14H-3 appears to my eyes to be from the 2225H.

- But as I keep saying, building the LE14H-3 from scavenged parts is not going to be an economical approach to fulfilling your quest for a 80s' style woofer .
- Have you priced out recone kits ?

:)

[baldrick]

I have a pair of LE1400H and a pair of 1401ND, as far as I've understood they share basket but different magnetic Assembly.

Do you think they still could be used in the same cabinet (together With 2451, to it would be similar to DMS1) I know It's probably better to get two pair of one of them, but both speakers are quite hard to find..

[pos]

Why not use a single driver? (and a bigger horn)

[baldrick]

Because I would like more than what a single 14 will give :)
