ZRT 2-Way, Zaph|Audio Revelator Tower - Parts Only - Pair
Madisound and Zaph Audio are pleased to bring you the Zaph Revelator Tower. The ZRT is raising the bar for easy to build high-end speaker kits. Once again, we would like to thank John Krutke for his design work and overall contribution to DIY speaker building. Full documentation of this design can be found on Zaph Audio.
The ZRT is an extremely versatile premium speaker kit utilizing Scan-Speak Revelator drivers. The 2-Way configuration is designed for ported use in the Madisound MD38T tower cabinet. In addition to a ported MD38T, the ZRT 2-Way is also suitable for a sealed alignment in the Madisound MD20 cabinet.
The tweeter used is the Scan-Speak “AirCirc” D3004/6600. This is the latest and most advanced release from the famous Revelator tweeter line. The mid/bass driver is the Scan-Speak 18W/8531G. This 7” slit paper cone driver is widely considered one of the best mid/bass units in existence. The combination of these drivers and Zaph’s design expertise has yielded a world-class speaker system.
Two crossover options are available for the ZRT 2-Way Kit. Both options use Eagle metal oxide resistors for the tweeter, air core inductors in parallel tweeter circuits and a Bennic polypropylene capacitor in the parallel woofer circuit. The woofer and tweeter crossovers come assembled, with each mounted on their own Matrix and 149B circuit boards. This allows for bi-amp/bi-wiring if desired, and flexibility in cabinet placement.
The standard crossover uses: Clarity SA Capacitors in series tweeter circuit, Solen Fast Cap in parallel tweeter circuit, and Sledgehammer Steel Laminate inductor in series woofer circuit.
The upgraded crossover uses: Clarity SA Caps in series tweeter circuit, Solen polypropylene cap in the parallel tweeter circuit, and Goertz Copper Foil 14awg inductor in the series woofer circuit.
If there is a specific combination of premium parts (Madisound stock only) that you would like to use for this crossover, please contact us by email with that parts list for a quote. The crossover parts we use are a good choice in this application and provide excellent results, but we will of course accomodate to your own taste.
A ZRT 2.5 Way version is also available with an additional 18W/8531G mid/bass driver. This configuration can be done in a sealed MD38T tower cabinet, or ported in your own larger cabinet. See here for the product page and Zaph Audio for more details.
