12 micron x 650 mm wide, Aluminised, low surface resistivity (around 8 ohms / square), works best on tweeters

AUD $5.30 per metre

All film has a minimum order quantity of 10 metres and is supplied on a roll - not folded.

Note, all film is rolled from the master roll to a smaller shipping roll with no contact from either the machine or the hands of the operator. The first 300mm and the last 300mm will be handled to attach and terminate the film from the roll. We always add an extra metre or so to allow for the handled material.

Conductive Coating - Re formulated for additional UV resistance

Our Clear conductive coating is available again after a long period of being out of stock

The coating is supplied as a concentrate and should be diluted with distilled water unless you require a low surface resistivity or high frequency only reproduction. Surface resistivity is typically around 200 megohms/sq but can be varied by dilution and gauge of application. Supplied as a concentrate to be diluted from 1:0.5 to 1:1 with distilled water. Typical coverage is 1.0 ml per 900 sq cm (1 square foot)

AUD $45.00 for 25 ml

AUD $70.00 for 60 ml.

Note, the above coatings are proprietary to E R Audio and are supplied on the condition that they are not used commercially, reproduced or analysed. Acceptance of the product implies acceptance of this condition.

Adhesives

Why mess with 2 pack epoxies? We have the answer to ESL Assembly

Polyurethane,
Is used for stator to panel bond, air gap spacers to panel or to stators. This adhesive gives a very strong bond in shear and peel. Slow curing gives time to get things exactly right. Can also be used to damp stators to prevent ringing.

AUD $30.00, 100 ml

AUD $17.50, 50 ml

Diaphragm Adhesive

Most adhesives have difficulty bonding polyester film to typical ESL panels, having poor peel characteristics. Our polyurethane based adhesive will bond diaphragms strongly and reliably. Slow cure time allows plenty of time to get things just right.
Some adhesives leave a hard brittle edge where it squeezes out from the join. This edge can damage the film as it flexes over it. The polyurethane adhesive leaves a “soft” edge where the adhesive squeezes out of the join, which will not damage the film.

Copper EHT Foil

It is essential to provide an EHT rail around the perimeter of the diaphragm. This is best applied to the surface of the air gap spacer that comes into contact with the conductive coating. Our foil is 4 and 6mm wide, 25 microns thick, self-adhesive and can be soldered.

Termination / Connection Blocks

Essential for terminating the above foil tape

unavailable at present

Available in Black, navy blue and burgundy, other colours coming soon. This grille cloth is acoustically transparent and acts as a very good barrier to dust and insects that can cause problems with the operation of your ESL’s – highly recommended. 2 way stretch allows for easy fitting. 1.5 metres wide. Ask for a sample swatch!!

EHT Resistors RJ81 Series

100 Megohm 1 watt rated at 3.500v but will tolerate much higher voltage with low current.

AUD $3.00 Each

For those that want to use the original film on their Quad 57 treble panels.

6.0 micron ICI Melinex dated 1977. This roll of film was obtained from a retired Quad repairer and was reputedly supplied to him by Quad in the UK for ESL 57 repairs. Still in excellent condition (this type of film does not contain plasticisers so does not dry out).

AUD $4.50 per metre

Heatshrink Film for Dust Covers

This film is much thinner than the dust cover material used on the Quad 57 speakers and can be used on the Quad 63 to 2912 speakers. This material is supplied in our speaker repair kits. The film is 670mm wide, film gauge is between 6 and 8 microns.

AUD $4.40 per metre

High Quality Grille Cloth

NEW

3.8 micron 730 mm wide. Made in Germany, bi-axially oriented polypropylene.
Heatshrinakable film most suitable for dust covers. BOPP is about 60% the weight of polyester (Mylar etc) so the mass of 3.8 um BOPP is equivalent to 2.8um Mylar.
BOPP is also “lossy” so does not give a metallic ring to sound reproduction as can be heard in some polyester films.

Note, some adhesives and coatings do not adhere to this film.

AUD $4.70 per metre
