Imitation HAT tweeter

[FD3S]

Was browsing an electronics store last friday and came across ths interesting audiopipe tweeter. Looks Legatia L1 Pro ish.

Got a small demo on it. With a 3.3uf cap in series, the tweeter impressed me. Sounded like a good soft dome tweeter. Smooth, detailed and not harsh atall. Wish i had the real thing there to compare it with.
Idleness in me wants to switch out my PPI domes for these just for kicks (I won't be surprise I like these better, lol)
Price is not bad, around $275 a pair i think. With options like these ppl have no excuse for power acoustik nb1 and bullet tweeters

100% copy and a poor showing from audiopipe.. i was disappointed when i 1st saw them.

You know how quite a few subs share the same hard parts, i was wondering if this is the same case.

BUT

At the end of the day, the only way we will know is if we ask the Audiopipe designer on this forum.

CALLING SSC..

Allyuh fellers wouldn't give that man a break at all .

3stage, I understand where u coming from, with audiopipe taking a shortcut and incoporating another company's R&D in their product. Not too cool.
Personally I don't hold it against them. They may use cheeper materials and assemble in some chineese factory but if the aim is to produce a good quality product that an average consumer can afford, i don't mind.
Actually I wish they would come out with the entire 3-way set

Is it loud doh?

[FD3S]

Yea man, d tweeta singing. Heights like that, loud and crispy.

i could be wrong but i dont think there was a patent on the housing
the internal soft parts should be different

[nigel1977]

To the chinese building, a patent is just a piece of paper people hang on a wall.

You guys wouldn't believe the amount of attention and discredit this tweeter is getting in and out the us.

Fact is L1 pro, was released almost 2 years before audiopipe started emailing their distributors, offering this tweeter. Those who attended the SQS were amongst the first in the world to see/hear it, as it was released days before the SQS.

From a mile away, they both look the same.

In your hands, you realise they are both entirely different creatures.
Aesthetics, Choice of materials, Sonic Performance are all entirely different.

Im happy that the general public has realised that it's an imitation.

Now don't get me wrong, some things that are copied aren't half bad. Speaker grilles, distros, lighting accessories.

Another point to note, that during a Warehouse tour at NA USA last week, it was revealed that many audiopipe products are built with in the Trinidad market in mind. I didnt know if I should have felt proud or otherwise about that.

[nigel1977]

SR...Maybe.

3stage... the sales manager specifically said "Trinidad's Market". There are products built because of Trinidad's Market (Pro Audio), but may be sold in other regions.

One thing about the vids above, everything is kept in the vehicle. No box on the hood.

200W OUTPUT power? Does that tweeter have a built-in amplifier?

Also, what's the conversion between "RSM" watts and normal watts?

[nigel1977]

^^^ you HAVE to wonder if their typos are deliberate. lol.

[nigel1977]

Buddy, you REALLY need to lay off the meds.
Everyone else posting here knows the Audiopipe tweeter is a knockoff.

As the case of the powerbass vs the image amp.
Even an employee of the local rep has confirmed they are the same. Not that I needed his confirmation.

Do you need me to find a cheaper amp using the guts from your amps too?

[nigel1977]

So this is the part where I reply to your name calling? Because at this point, its obvious that the focus of your scientific discourse is no longer on amp a vs amp b, but is directed to me. How flattering.

[nigel1977]

LOL.

We and Our?

Mice in your pocket or are you French?
