JBL XPL200A The Unicorn speaker?
I found a pair of JBL XPL200A which I immediately snatched up! Anyone that had the pleasure of listening to the XPL200 would agree they are worth the $ to repair. The woofers needed re-foaming which was a given considering the vintage. One of the tweeters (046-Ti1) needs a new diaphrgm, unfortunately JBL stopped producing them but offer the newer version (046-Ti1S) which is supposed to sound identical. However, the replacement diaphragm is 10db lower. We swapped the new diaphragm on the working tweeter and it played 10db lower also. The XPL200 is 6ohm but I haven't seen a 6 ohm diaphragm. Does anyone know a direct replacement or have experience replacing Ti speakers? TIA!

It’s 8 Ohms D=diaphragm, 8R=resistance and O46TI is the driver. JBL Technical Manual XPL200A(diaphragm replacement) see below: file:///C:/Users/ditus/Downloads/XPL200a%20ts.pdf Mike |
I thought you might have. I think you made a good decision, as the part number for the tweeter diaphragm in the manuals for the XPL200 and 200A are the same. Most likely the diaphragms in the tweeters you bought are original JBL and not aftermarket. Never buy Chinese aftermarket diaphragms for JBL's! Please let us know how this turns out. Good luck! |
