    obsolete

    I kinda like that monikor..:)

    the 2245's mag assy was scaled larger ( the deeper 2220 top plate and thicker E series 7/8 magnet ) but the coil assy would fit ( and is used in the 136HS woofer...

    plug

    they are cemented in place and carefully aligned at the factory.

    that much rust is fatal - not worth repairing anymore.

    color

    gold is the later color - back then all the "rings" were natural aluminum.

    compare

    Have a pair of 6230's on the bench right now - one is fine, the other is in fault
    ( even though the amp section is just fine ).

    Will let you know what I find.

    Ac / dc

    measuring across the white wires gives you the AC voltage - when rectified and filtered it becomes 24Vdc

    measuring from the red to green is across BOTH sides of the rectified main DC voltage ( 50...

    caps, revisited

    if you don't have DC on the output terminals, and the light slowly comes back on, then a cap must be involved somehow. replace the 22 and 100 caps ( C35, C13 ) on the DC detector circuit. measure the...

    short answer

    using the 2311 and larger driver is of no help.

    The length of that combination is SHORTER than the 2312
    so no advantage for LF extension is realized.

    early versions

    The first gen "studio monitors" used the 4502 cabinet, the 3110 ( 800hz ) crossover and the 2307/2308 horn lens with the venerable 2420 driver. The original woofer wwas a variant of the theater 15 -...

    4" coil PHENOLIC diaphram...able to go much lower in response than Al or Ti at the expense of the high end due to heavier moving mass.

    33752

    33752 is the correct JBL internal part number.

    If not aligned, you will always be able to hear a low frequency artifact and/or lower output.

    Above 18Khz you need to use the canine method.
