Motor
The motor assembly is conventional dynamic, with a Φ24.5 × 3 H NdFeB neodymium magnet
structure to ensure a relatively small footprint size and shallow depth. A perforated grille protects the
dome. The Pro L1 boasts a fully machined aluminum body; the body is machined aluminum, not cast
aluminum. The dense metal structure of the tweeter housing helps to reduce resonances within the
body of the tweeter for effective reproduction of extremely low music tones. Additionally, the Pro L1
has a polypropylene tuned and damped chamber at the rear of the motor assembly; the chamber
helps to reduce backwave distortion and significantly lower the tweeter’s resonance frequency to
allow it to be used to play tones in the vocal spectrum, if desired. A machined aluminum Φ47.5mm
knurled attachment nut at the base of the tweeter provides optimized clamping strength to the
mounting media.
Mounting Flange and Dimensions
The 58mm wide mounting flange, only 3mm larger than the Legatia L1V2 tweeter, provides a solid-
aluminum mounting surface for the tweeter without the necessity of mounting cups or external
hardware. The overall dimensions of the driver are very amenable for use in the car audio
environment, boasting an exceptional depth of just 30mm (nearly unheard of in a tuned-chamber
tweeter).
Terminals Cap and Spring-Loaded Terminals
The L1 Pro includes an extruded polypropylene tuned chamber with integrated high-end nickel-plated
spring-loaded push terminals at the rear of the tweeter’s motor assembly. The spring-loaded
terminals give the end-user flexibility in direct connection with large-gauge tinned wiring, without the
need for crimp terminals.
Summary
The Legatia SE L1 Pro tweeter is an excellent step-up in performance over the Legatia L1V2 tweeter
driver offered in the Stage V Legatia series, and is the bench-mark low-resonance soft-dome tweeter
in Hybrid Audio’s complete product offering. Equally at home in two-way configuration paired with a
midrange or midbass, or as the dedicated tweeter transducer in a three-way application, the Legatia
SE L1 Pro is an exemplary performer, and is eclipsed in performance by only the Stage VI Legatia SE
L1 Pro Ring Radiator (R2) tweeter.
