2404 Discontinued ????

[edgewound]

2406 and 2407 are both a type of ring radiator

[4313B]

Yes they sure are. Where's that 2407 EDS I posted for Zilch. I don't feel like digging it out right now to look it over again.

Easy to find stuff in Q&D Contents, now....

Use the 2407H

Just so everyone knows, the 2404H-1 is still available from your local authorized JBL pro cervice centers. This is just a 2404H without a sticker on the back. Get them while you can.

Doesn't the 2404H-1 come stock with the heavier 2402 diaphragm, compared to the 2405 dia on the regular 2404?

I have a pair of Cabaret 4628's and a broken horn. all I can find is the driver/horn combination 2404. All I need is the plastic horn. Anyone know the number for the horn only?????? So I can try and find one on Ebay.

Very sad, might have been ?

The 2402 may have passed its day (50 years, I should say) and it's served us well!
The 2405, however, is still THE UHF driver in my opinion! I wonder if that little horn and driver in the K2 9800 can keep up with the 2405 slot.
Maybe I'm biased, but the slots in my 4320s. 4333s, and 4343s sound stellar!
Let's hope JBL comes up with a replacement that proves to be significantly better then these classic UHF drivers.

I have had the opportunity to use both. The 045Be sounds much finer than the 2405. It has a delicacy and air that the 2405 can not match, but the 2405 is significantly more powerful and will blow away the little bat slayer in an SPL war. I heard either the 2406 or 2407 at Zilch's place and it did come close to the sound of the bat slayer either.

Great as the 045Be might be, it doesnt have the SPL, or the durability to replace any of the discontinued JBL tweeters for some applications. Now the 2407, well, it has the SPL, durability and power handling, yet, for some strange reason, no one seems to be embracing this new device.

For certain specific applications, IMHO, nothing really beats the classic time proven designs JBL had. Yeah, they have cleaned up the drivers, increased power handling, etc, and yet................?

Zilch embraces it, and "similar," and it looks like TimG's building with it, now.

Didya get a chance to try it, Scott? You can assemble the requisite array quite inexpensively....

[Mr. Widget]

Like Scott said, no one...

I suppose time will tell if they become widely accepted. I won't be buying any, but a clean pair of 075s for a pair of Bel-Aires might be on the horizon.

...and Scott, there are two uses here, studio monitor/domestic Hi-Fi and PA. You are right that the new crop of JBL tweeters like the 045Be are not intended for PA use.

***Zilch konks Widget with a 2404H motor***

[And Widget now lacks but one to complete his 076s.... ]
