    I would definitely try metric screws. The part number definitely is in the JBL system as an 8-32 but I wouldn't put it past them to get it wrong on the drawing. Remember the M2 crossover shows a wrong value on a capacitor. Things happen, people make mistakes. It isn't like most flown equipment doesn't use metric hardware rigging. It isn't like metric isn't in the JBL plants already.

    I'd be flabbergasted if it was an obscure size like 8-36. It isn't until we get to #10 hardware that one sees UNC and UNF stuff. An Altec, they liked using 3/8 UNC AND UNF on the same stud for mounting the 288 and like drivers.

    You're just not trying hard enough!

    If we knew what the hell we were doing, we wouldn't call it research would we.

    I got the adapters from Mac today.
    Beautiful work, kudos to him!
    I hope to be able to measure the D2415K on the small 6" PT waveguide soon, and compare it with a 2407H.
    I still need to find the correct screw (with a small head in both width and height), but measurements can be taken with the driver sitting on the floor, facing up.

    There is still a small discontinuity here, I might try to apply some clay here during measurements to see if that changes the UHF response:

    very little room for the screw head here, might have to use a sunken head, or maybe chop 2 or 3mm off the horn (see last picture in the following post)

    Should not be a problem to remove a few millimeters here using a belt sander, in order to get more room for the screw head:

    Looks good , glad the fit at the driver exit worked out OK. You will be nip and tuck with the screw heads , on balance I think the belt sander is the way to go so cancel my suggestion of using a grinder. I would use the first thread as a guide to keep things neat and tidy. You will get some plastic burr at the edges but a sharp knife will clean that up.

    I'm looking forwards to seeing how well these wee guys measure up.

    Delighted to be of assistance POS.

    Hi POS,

    it would be interesting to show us F/R response and the 'dispersion' characteristics of such driver&horn combo.

    I though this was a joke, but it turns out you were 100% right there

    I ordered the "official" part from speaker exchange, the one that Mac found when digging VTX exploded views.
    It did not fit by hand, just like the 8-32 I had here, but when using more force and a screw driver they did fit.
    It appears the thread was a bit tight, but once screwed/unscrewd once they do fit by hand.

    Sorry for the confusion: 8-32 UNC is the reference to use.

    Could you fit an allen-key hex heads in there smaller pattern than a screw 8-32 should be easy to find.

    I did not try them yet
    I feel sorry because Mac was so quick and willing to help me and did a fantastic job with the adapters, but I simply do not have the time right now to conduct the experiment...

    Bump

    I just have to do it. (BUMP) I am still interested in this little compression driver, (D2415K).Has anyone actually used one in DIY speaker system yet? Are there any measurements from such a system?Thanks to anyone contributing to this inquiry.
