I got some Sonion 26-e25 drivers which have a 2mm wide port. I bought some 1.6mm pipe and fits nice and tight just with the pressure. However the sound filter is 2mm wide too and sonion recommend to put it about 1/3 deep in the lenght of the pipe. Do you guys have any advice about how to push it through the pipe without breaking it?
My other options would be to use 2mm pipe, which could work fine but I guess I'd have to see if it changes the sound signature and I'll have to glue it to the driver. I could also put the 2mm filter just at the end of the pipe rather than pushed at third way through.
And should I put a dirt filter at the end of my pipe in addition? If so, which material would do the trick?
I also see that there was discussion about using pipe as a horn form 1.5mm to 2.5 in the precedent page. So would it be better to put a lenght of 1.6mm pipe and then a lenght of 2mm? And does PVC tubing does the trick or teflon really has some advantages?
Thank you if you have any advice.
I'm having the same issue. Even if i manage to push the damper in a bit, it is not aligned in the tube.
Any tips? I really want to try a horn. 1,5 mm -> 2 mm ID.
I know i could cut the 1,5 mm ID tube and insert a 2 mm ID tube with the damper in between but i have seen other manufacturers pushing in dampers in 1,5 mm ID tubes.
