Thanks!
Yes, the blue panel is one of 4 panels from the Acoustat MD240 electrostats.
I am stripping them apart using the hole plate as a foundation for the magnets in my next design.
Going to make some smaller surround planars and so I am going to cut the panels half length. They will be around 60cm long that way.
My ribbons are glued to mylar and are able to play a lot lower then a single ribbon but will not reach much above 22kHz or so because of the added mass of the plastic.
That is mainly because it has larger radiating surface that are able to reproduce lower frequencies adequately.
The corrugated ones are made by a designer here in Sweden.

Here You will find a lot of info building a membrane.
But I have yet to measure the frequency exactly. I will come to that.
On one of the pictures You can see the back of a planar bass panel.
It looks a bit different as it uses thick steel lengthwise with added led filled bars.
Vibrations? No way! Hehehe
The one who succeeded was the one who didn't know it was impossible.
