    Availability of JBL diaphragms

    Hello,

    does anyone know if JBL still produces the diaphragms for the 2405 slot-drivers?
    I cannot find these for sale anywhere.

    I noticed they stopped producing the 2440 and 2441 diaphragms a while ago. But the 2405 drivers remained in production way longer so I thought the support on the spareparts should last longer too.

    Regards,
    Olaf

    JBL stopped producing them several years ago, after production moved to Mexico.

    I was told that one of the reasons the aluminum diaphragms were discontinued was the tooling had worn out and management didn't want to pay for new tooling.
