I recently fitted the above replacement diaphragm with no problems.

When I saw the packaging, I instantly recognised that it looked like a P-AUDIO
part.

Sure enough, the JBL2412 seems to be a variant of P-Audio's PA-D25.

www.proaudioparts.co.uk can supply the complete DRIVER for �16.33 !

JBL's price here (their aproved spares provider)
http://spares.cimplesolutions.com/product.php/244/1/33a53ab5a38d5e9c8140c38435b7a4c0

is �68.64 (it used to be more than that too).

i.e MORE than FOUR TIMES as expensive.
