As alluded to in my other thread, I have ten pairs of brand-new-in-box Mark Audio (Markaudio) CHP-70 Gen.2 wideband drive units with the charcoal black paper cone up for sale. These are the same drivers as the CHP-70 Gen.2 drive units with the natural cone colour, differing only in the black / charcoal pigment added to the paper pulp.
For background interest, the CHP-70 Gen.2 was developed by Markaudio in conjunction with their Japanese distributor and a number of his jazz / small club playing and attending enthusiasts. They wanted to create a 4in wideband driver with a semi 'vintage tone' that captured some of the characteristics of classic wideband units, with a lightly shelved down top end and smooth / natural midrange tone. The original Gen.1 CHP leaned that way; the Gen.2 models introduced a raft of upgrades: an improved basket, a new central cap & fastening thereof, Japanese designed low-mass coil and a new spider design providing a 12% reduction in moving mass.
Main CHP-70 Gen. 2 features:
-Usual Markaudio shallow-profile cone for consistent off-axis response
-Reinforced self-damping polymer basket
-Long-throw suspension
-Well balanced Fs, Qt, Vas to suit different types of loads
-Black (charcoal colour) paper cone
-Supplied with factory gaskets and connecting hardware
I'm asking £30 per pair plus shipping (less than half normal retail)
All drivers are packaged in their original Markaudio boxes. I use sustainable FSC rated outer cardboard boxes fastened with heavy-duty packing tape. These are reinforced inside with recycled heavy-duty cardboard and packed with recycled brown / grey packing paper and high quality bubble-insulation.
Thanks as always for looking, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
