Tweeter Driver for RL 60,2 8480200

11 replies

One of my RL 60.2 6513 has a tweeter (8480200) that doesnt play any longer.

Is it the actual driver that are broken or what do you think?

Is it possible to find replacement drivers?

It's possible that it's the driver itself. Do you have a multimeter? If you measure the DC resistance of the driver, it should give you a reading. If it doesn't, then the voice coil is an open circuit, and is blown.

If it is the tweeter, you can probably source a suitably close replacement from a speaker distributor like Madisound. My experience with B&O speakers is that they usually use SEAS or Vifa tweeters. I've heard they use Phillips drivers as well sometimes. If they are one of those brands, I bet you could find a very close replacement from their new lines. The new SEAS tweeters, like the 27TDF are great! If you pull the tweeter out of your speaker and the number on the driver starts with an "H", it's a SEAS driver.

If the driver measures out, then you should look at the tweeter section of the crossover filter. Some component there is no longer functioning - a resistor or capacitor.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the quick answers! I will measure and check!

Best regards.

The Vifa tweeter was fine. A resistance of 5 ohm. The Woffers (one of them works as midrange) was Nokia by the way. I quickly looked at the crossover filter and didn't find which component was who... Almost like it wasn't the same filter as in the service manual... Have to have some more time. Had to go to work... :-)

At least in my pair of RL60.2s, the tweeter part of the crossover was different from the service manual. You can see both versions side by side

That's right! My configuration was the same as the drawing. The resistors are fine. Don't think I have the right equipment to measure the caps. I buy new ones and try, I think.

 

Try to swap the crossovers between the speakers, it's quick as everything has push-on connectors. If this confirms the crossover to be faulty and the resistors are fine (check the coils as well, and solder joints) there's not much else to go wrong than the caps...

I have "recaped" the crossover with no luck. Swaped the driver with my healty 60.5 and it is playing beautiful!
The faulty Vifa D26TG-05 06 ohm 008 aren't completely mute some very weak sound is coming from it.

Now I put the god driver into the box with recaped crossover. Sounds lovely!

Now I have to hunt for a replacement...

Do you mean D25TG-05's? I had those in my Beovox S80.2's. These would be Vifa's newest version of them. I think the D25 were a coated silk dome, and the D26's were a coated fabric of a different type.
