K diaphragm thickness

Post by Mafarnz »

What is the thickness of the K horn diaphragm? I have somebody asking me, but surprisingly I don’t have it written down anywhere.

I am 90% sure they are 0.020" thick, 5.000-5.005" in diameter.


If you're looking to pick some up I have more K diaphragms, rings, and diffusers than one person should ever have.
