Availability of JBL diaphragms

[Dr.db]

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.

Thanks a lot for these insights!
