RE: Speaker cover material

["Rob Mouser" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi David

The term for this type of material is micro mesh, expanded metal mesh or
micromesh. Some grades are so fine they can even be used as an abrasive.
Can
be found in most materials ali and stainless, the size you need will be no
problem. A google will find you a number of suppliers such as:
