modeled estimate

The tweeters below pair well with the Wavecor WF120BD06 in a two-way design — each grade is a modeled estimate of the crossover match, with a suggested crossover point. Open any pair in the guided builder to design the crossover and total the parts.

Modeled estimate from T/S + geometry — no measurements. The verdict is robust; it improves with measured FRD/ZMA data.
