Tank Mounting Transducer Orientation and Centering of Magnet

The Reverb tank installed vertically with the connectors up provides an ideal orientation for the magnets. The weight of the transmission springs in this orientation keeps the magnets naturally centered in the air gap and also keeps the magnets away from the transducer lamination.

A reverb tank mounted vertically turned to a horizontal orientation is also less susceptible to floor vibration.
