ZRT 2.5-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 2.5-Way configuration is designed for sealed use in the Madisound MD38T tower cabinet, and is also suitable for a larger ported tower design.

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 drivers are 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.

The ZRT 2.5-Way tweeter crossover network uses Clarity SA Capacitors in series circuit, Solen Fast Caps in parallel circuit, Eagle metal oxide resistors, and air core inductors. We also offer the upgrade option of using Clarity ESA Capacitors in the series tweeter circuit.

The woofer crossover consists of Sidewinder air core and Sledgehammer Steel Laminate inductors in series circuit, and Solen Fast Caps in the parallel circuit.

The crossover holds to the exact DCR inductor values called for in the design. The remaining parts choice makes the most sense for the required values and high-end level of this kit.

These crossovers come assembled, with each mounted on their own Matrix circuit board. This allows for bi-amp/bi-wiring if desired, and flexibility in cabinet placement.

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-Way version is also available with a single 18W/8531G mid/bass driver. This configuration can be done in a ported MD38T tower cabinet, or sealed in the MDT20 cabinet. See here for the product page and Zaph Audio for more details.
