EV Sentry 100a

Hi Folks,

Great place you have here! Great info abounds...

Does anyone know where to find replacement tweeters for older EV Sentry 100a's?

I hope this is the right forum to be asking this sort of question.

Thanks,
Mike

Thanks Fisherdude.

Should be able to buy them from EV still, I believe. I picked up the two-piece foam damping rings for my 100As direct from EV just last year -- they were cheap, too!

I'll give the direct route a shot. Thanks titanstats.

I think I have a pair of these speakers, but I am not sure. What do they look like? Any pics? Does it have a dome tweeter with some big foam ring around it so you can barely see the tweeter? Any comments on the sound? Anyone driving them with tubes?

Thanks!

Yes, the tweeter is buried in foam.

Sound: Primarily designed as studio monitor's hung from upper corners of a small room (these came from a radio station's smallish production studio years ago) they sound best elevated...however, they sound pretty dang nice in a corner on the floor too :yes: Until I decide where I go, they are fun listening for now.

The EV Sentry 100's are still in use at the station I work at. They are elevated in the studio, and I can't find the power source for them. I believe it's just routed out through the audio board's computer. They sound pretty decent, though ours only plays at low volume because they have them restricted. The highs are a little bright for my liking, so I choke them down to flat or -2dB. I am, however, surprised at the depth of bass these speakers can reproduce, for them being so small.

gimpdaddy - there were two versions of the Sentry 100's - the 100A which was passive and the more uncommon 100EL which is an active monitor containing a 50W amplifier for each speaker.

If your station has the EL variant, that could be why you can't find the power source for them (though they would have to be plugged in).
