Thickness of top plate is about 7mm (0.275 inch).
Thickness of magnet is about 20mm (0.787 inch), diameter

:yes:

ThankYou ! Eckhard

It's most appreciated that you made those measurements and posted these pictures .

<> Earl K :D

[paragon]

Yes Earl,

There is a thick black painting on the backside of the cone.
Cone is very hard (stiff ?).

Weight of driver is 5.9 kg. Overall diameter is 31.5cm (12.4 inch).
Height is 12.5cm (4.9 inch). Height of magnet motor is 48mm
(1.89 inch). Venting Hole dia is 28mm (1.1 inch).
Surround is 1.4cm ( 0.55 inch) wide.
There is also a good network in the L90.
Okay, thats all. Put the driver back in the enclosure now.

Regards
Eckhard

Your efforts to shed some light on this little known driver are most appreciated .

Yes, interesting. Thanks.

Does one LE120H have a foilcal on back while the other doesn't?

The L90 looks pretty interesting as well.

Nice size and compact layout, true "bookshelf" configuration with them cutesie feetsies there, they'd work real nicely with my TV here.... :D

How come EX-US gets all the COOL stuff?

Giskard, there is only a paperlabel on the back and the basket
is not that of the earlier massive constructions (cost?).
But any HiFi magazines like this bass driver (me too !).
Bass is "dry" and comes with a punch (not boom).
The front of the enclosure is very thick (TI 5000) and its well
braced (?) innerside.
The network is made of good highclass components.
But you can upgrade it. Cost of this pair was 3000 DM (1700 USD).
Cost of the bass driver was about 550 DM (305 USD Harman Deutschland ).
Does anybody knows about the label on "next 3" ?

Hi Eckhard,

- ,,,, - and the basket is not that of the earlier massive constructions (cost?).

What do you mean ?

(a) Do your 2 , LE120H woofers have different weight (construction) speaker baskets ?

or

(b) Are you commenting that the LE120 baskets' frame is not as heavily built as older JBL woofers that you've seen ?



Your "Next 3" Picture ; 35E - JBE

- that product code doesn't mean anything to me .

Hi Earl,

Both drivers have the same weight, so the answer is (b).

The engineer who designed the LE120H transducers is no longer with JBL and he never did any of the requisite paperwork, hence, nothing to post regarding TS parameters or response curves. Enclosure volume and tuning would be similar to the 128H-1.

[paragon]

I doen`t believe that there are no TSP about this driver !
Ask Don !

Eckhard

[4313B]

Ok...

Don? Where are the TSP for the LE120H?

[paragon]

Har ! Har !

Eckhard

[paragon]

Think, anywhere are the TSP for the 120H, but doen`t know where ??
Hmmm!, have to search !!

As far as I know the LE120H was used in several JBL Speakers:

L90 & L100 (same drivers diff. cab. both made in Denmark)
L7
S2600
TI5000 (also made in Denmark)

It has also been sold separately here in Denmark for DIY, but without the back cover.

It looks exactly like my LE1400-h drivers (except for the 2" extra) that you saw here http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin/showthread.php?20829-DIY-mini-everest-or-S2900/page2 and they sound very similar too.

As you know I ended up using the 1400pro (ND) as I found it sounded better for midrange, but certainly didn't have the LF punch of the two drivers above.

Add these:

JBL Synthesis® S3S subwoofer
Fosgate Audionics CSS200 THX subwoofer

JBL S/2600 used ME120HS

Maybe someone knows if it was a variant of LE120H-1?

[berf]

I have a pair of ME120HS and all I can say is they're physically identical to the LE120H-1 except for using the pro-style push terminals instead of the consumer 1/4" spades.
