Hi Guys,
I have been reading lately about the benefit of using a single driver speaker to reference mixes, and I would like to give it a go, but being a DIY'er I want to do it at a low cost with whats available to me.
I have 2x Tannoy reveal active monitors which I no loner use because the tweeters have gone.
These simply consist of a 6.5" driver, a dome tweeter, a crossover set at 3000Hz and an amp circuit.
My idea is to disconnect the tweaters, by pass the corss over and plug the post to give me a powered single driver speaker in a sealed cabinet. I know this will sound diferent from an Auratone, but I just want to go down the single driver no crossover, sealed cabinet route.
I have some questions:
1: Is it safe to just bypass the cross over and feed the full frequency range to the driver?
2: Am I right to assume the driver will be able to handle frequencies higher than 3000Hz without being damaged? (I understand it wont go anywhere near 20khz without the tweeeter, but thats what im after really)
Is there anything I have missed that I sohuld look into?
Thanks
