- Paradigm Mini Monitor v2 Tweeter Replacement
In this video, I'll be replacing the original tweeters in a set of Paradigm Mini Monitor v.2's that have quit working. Both the box and the new tweeters need slight modifications so the speaker will sit flush in the box.
Original Tweeters: B3TWHF-TIM-070
Replacement Tweeters: BC25TG15-08
More info on the replacement tweeters:
Peerless by Tymphany (formerly Vifa) BC25TG15-08 1" Fabric Dome Tweeter 8 Ohm
www.parts-express.com/ Part # 264-1442
www.parts-express.com/peerles...
These specific tweeters were chosen, because:
They're 8 Ohms
Handle 100 watts
Are 1" dome
Fit in the preexisting hole
And lastly after fitting the above mentioned criterion, they had the widest range of frequency response 1KHz-20KHz - Věda a technologie
I would highly suggest taping off the driver/tweeter portion while cutting to avoid getting metal filings in it. This is a smart and simple fix. I love Paradigm speakers. Their whole line is phenomenal.
Replacing the original tweeter with a different tweeter is unlikely to sound very good without modifications to the cross-over network. But better than no tweeters at all! :)
ENG: Also you should have cover the tweeter with adhesive paper (protect from littles particles when you drill or cut)...
ESP: También debe cubrir el tweeter con papel adhesivo (protéjalo de partículas pequeñas cuando taladre o corte) ...
Would like to see a review on these speakers
ENG: Before you have enlarged the space/Surface for the new Tweeter, you should have removed the woofer (so as not to damage it) as a precaution. You could to have raised the level where you would install the new Tweeter (with rubber band/cloth a few millimeters thick or a thin piece of wood), the Tweeter would be over the edge of the woofer, without having to enlarge the hole in the box original acoustic and don't cut new border of tweeter...
ESP: Antes de haber ampliado el espacio / superficie para el nuevo Tweeter, debería haber quitado el woofer (para no dañarlo) como precaución. Podrías haber elevado el nivel donde instalarías el nuevo Tweeter (con una banda de goma / tela de unos pocos milímetros de grosor o una pieza delgada de madera), el Tweeter estaría sobre el borde del woofer, sin tener que agrandar el orificio en la caja acústica original y no corte nuevo borde de tweeter ...
Rather than cutting into I used a big O ring to mount the new tweeter .25" over face.
After replacement how its sounds.? Please upload a video
Nice vid, I love Paradigms. Where did you get the detail screwdriver sets? I could use some
That set came from Walmart, at around this seasonal time period. They were sold as kind of last minute gift ideas close to the tool section. This year I picked up some similar cases of tools, but was a drill bit set and screwdriver bit set.
Or if you mean the second set, with the tiny bits, they came from Walmart also, just in the regular tool section.
Couldn't you just buy the vifa diaphragm voice coil and put it on the original teeter assembly bolt it to the original faceplate and remove the "plastic protection" from the original faceplate so it didn't interfere? If memory serves, the vifa diaphragm sits perfectly on the teeter assembly, and I think vifa made the tweeters for paradigm in the 90s se series
You're more than likely correct. I have no experience with changing voicecoils and such though. Too late now, I ended up cutting the faceplate to kinda fill in the gaps of the box. At least I didn't modify the enclosure acoustically :D
Where can I source the vifa diaphragm and voice coil?
PZ means pozi-drive. Usually just called pozi.
ENG: And the second part?. When you need change Tweeters, you have to changes both tweeters (both speakers)...
ESP: ¿Y la segunda parte ?. Cuando necesite cambiar Tweeters, debe cambiar ambos tweeters (ambos altavoces) ...
bro did precision work on the wood with a chisel and later butchered the tweeter with dremel tool😑
