Answer: Centre Disk Cut
Here you will see a pronounced cut line around the center of the diaphragm where the outer or inner disks came into contact with the diaphragms. When the center disks are installed it is important to make sure the round edges face the diaphragm to avoid a dramatic cutting effect. In addition, if the diaphragms are installed backwards, you will find this same dramatic cut around the center disks of the diaphragms. With either failure the life of the diaphragms will be dramatically short.
