In Reply to: This is not a humbucking coil. posted by sser2 on July 16, 2007 at 13:45:28:
Sser2, your comments are most interesting and thought provoking. I have never thought of that little extra coil in this way, but I like your thinking. Do you have any citings from the literature that indicate that this coil functions as a demodulator? It would be fascinating and would open up new avenues of thought if true, and I am all ears when it comes to improving field coil technology.
I have deduced that this coil is a humbucker mostly because the field coils in most of these Jensen units serve as filtering components in the amplifier's power supply. If the audio signal contained some hum components then their presence in this coil, if in opposite polarity to the field coil, would tend to cancel the hum in the speaker's output.
I am not sure why you state that I advocate an "underpowered" field coil. I have stated the recommendations of the manufacturer in response to what appeared to me to be your reckless recommendation of almost three times the nominal field dissipation that these units were designed for. As Paul Klipsch used to say, "Any mechanical or electrical device can be overdriven to the point where failure must occur."
