Hello All,

Hope all is well for you. I am interested in your experiences or thoughts around the idea of applying damping agents to compression driver diaphrams. Certainly Acquaplas is used and has been tried- anyone tried anything else? I do not have a specific project in mind, but I thought it might prove an interesting topic for discussion.

I have known of some audiophiles that have applied vaseline (petroleum jelly) to Dynaudio dust caps. Not sure that is so clever with a plastic, but food for thought anyway. Something like a 3M spray adhesive, latex or gum might be OK and even peel straight off if you didn't like it ??? Any before and after damping application, frequency responses or better yet cumulative decay spectra.

Of course this stuff will add some mass to the diaphragm, but probably no more than a few %.


Thoughts,

Best
