    - Good One Dave !

    - But no , I'd say it's a matter of making a comparison between the BL figures when looking at the so called 8 ohm versions vs the nominal 16 ohm types . Just about always, the 8 ohm diaphragms have more electromotive force after a per unit normalization . It stands to reason that these higher BL types will also have more modal breakup issues and thus measure slightly different .

    - In the SR world up here in central Canada , it's long been a held opinion among a certain older crowd ( defined as over 55 yr , as of 2006 ) that JBLs' 16 ohm type diaphragms sounded "smoother" / across the board for the different models ( FWIW ) . Why ? Think of the BL differences that Giskard ( & others ) like to chew on when someone creates a hybrid ( franken -) woofer using 2235H cone kits in an overmagged core assembly.
    - That same focus can be shifted onto diaphragms when they are put into none standard motors ( especially when the motor has a different gauss level , ie giving a non-standard BL coefficient ) .
    - A lot of these issues can be explained as what's the best performing balance of FR vs "sound" ( made between a diaphragms mass and the BL that indicates the strength of the motive forces ).

    The SL version probably has an Aquaplas coating.
    And a smaller 3.25" mounting bolt circle like the 2450SL to mate with PT waveguides?

    A throatless "Optimized Aperture" driver, looks like....

    According to the spec sheet, the 2452H has a 4 1/2" bolt circle like the 2451. Does this mean it won't work with the PT waveguides? You think the SL version has the smaller bolt circle?

    Yup.

    For Giskard,

    The "List" as I see it

    Engineering design specs for:

    2450
    2450SL
    2451
    2451SL
    2452
    2452SL

    Also, what is 2450SL-A diraphragm. Ribbed, with Aquaplas?

    D16R2450SL is not on the price list. Is D16R2451SL the same?

    Is the 475 diaphragm the same as either of the available Pro "SL" diaphragms?

    Air....

    Ah-HEM!!

    http://www.jblpro.com/installedsound/support/index.html

    2452H-SL, PT-F1010HF, NL200t3 biased and bypassed, L88 plugged.

    Red = HF only, windowed.

    Org = Full system, unwindowed.

    "Next Generation" - A different animal?

    Per request, impedance, phase, and response plots for 2 units 2452H-SL, on PT-H95HF waveguides. Frequency response is shown at both 10 and 5 dB/division. Raw FR plots unsmoothed, filtered ones 1/6 octave.

    I'm not seeing any breakup mode here, unless it's at 10 kHz; I doubt the waveguides are masking it.

    The two units are not perfectly matched. Don't know if I'm going to do anything about that, tho, at this point....

    Sorry 'bout the wide impedance/phase plots. I want to show max resolution for TimG's analysis.

    VP7215/95 frequency response, bottom. Same driver and horn, filter/EQ unknown.

    Looks like #2 (blue) is the "good" one from that; I doubt they EQ above 10 kHz.

    [Measure your drivers, folks, even (especially) the $1315 ones.... ]

    2452 response

    That response graph is very impressive. That is the best response curve I have seen from any JBL compression driver yet. I don't see any break up in the response curve before about 19kHz. I found the price, at $1315 it is less expensive than the list price for the 2435HPL. Maybe some B-stock will turn up some day that I could afford. If you have 2 of those and 4 2235H's, you really need to throw them together with an Everest style crossover and let us know how they sound with your 2452 horns.

    Here is an example of a different large format compression driver with obvious breakup in both the frequency response and impedance sweep curves. This example is the B&C DE610. I would not try to use a driver like this above 10kHz.

    Here is the frequency response and the impedance curve. Notice the peaks in response and the corresponding peaks in the Imp curve where part of the diaphragm is no longer behaving like a piston.

    One 2235H will have to do until Mr. Widget makes me a

    V--E--R--Y- -W--I--D--E

    horn....

    [Not bad on PT Waveguides, actually, and the compensation is, well, uhmm, "straightforward...." ]

    2452H-SL on JBL 2352 Horn

    Horn flange is drilled to accept this bolt pattern, same as 243x drivers.

    1) Impedance and phase.

    2) Frequency Response of driver alone, with compensation, and full range with 2235H in 4507, two ports closed.

    3) Comparison with 2435HPL. 2452H-SL requires 10 dB less "push" at 20 kHz; no more than at 10 kHz, apparently.

    4) Published FR of 2451 on 2352. "-SL" version upublished, and I don't have one.

    O.K., so how do they sound?

    What JBL says: "Crystal-clear."

    Also, what Earl suggests: "Splashy - fresh, exciting, open-sounding."

    Who's gotta pair 2451SLs they can send me to test for comparison?

    They are fine for their intended application.

    Buy them! JBL would love to sell a ton of them!
    I would love to see people here buy a ton of them.
    I wonder why they are less expensive than a 2435.
    Who cares! Just buy them.

    I'd use the dual 1501AL's, 476Be and the Everest II horn myself.

    $7,000 at present but that could go up.
    If current practice continues the diaphragms won't be generally available (to put into legacy 4" cores) since JBL does "driver replacement" on these high ticket items. You blow a driver, you get a new one (often within 48 hours).

    OUCH!

    That puts them into an especially rarified zone for DIY, I'd say....

    Yeah, not just slappin' stuff together randomly anymore....
