Tweeter Features

Neodymium Magnets

The high ionic compound of neodymium enables a smaller tweeter magnet assembly to be used as opposed to the much larger ferrite magnets that are commonly used in speaker manufacturing.

THE RESULT: An efficient magnet which allows smaller tweeter construction.

Magnetic Fluid Cooling

Magnetic fluid is a synthetic liquid consisting of microscopic magnetic particles. The fluid has four times the thermal conductivity as air which makes it an ideal cooling agent. Magnetic fluid is injected into the voice coil gap which helps dissipate heat generated by the voice coil.

THE RESULT: A thermal conductor which allows increased power handling.

Swivel Mount Design

The tweeter is encapsulated in a variable swivel housing. This design allows direct dispersion of the tweeter in order to accommodate various mounting positions. The swivel mount design allows the tweeter to maximize its sonic potential.

THE RESULT: Precise tweeter imaging regardless of mounting position.

Crossover Features

Adjustable Tweeter Level Matching

The passive crossovers utilize a series power resistor for tweeter level matching. The factory set tweeter output level is 0dB, however can be reduced –3dB to create a smoother transition between the midrange and tweeter. The ability to level match allows the system to be custom “tuned” for a particular listener or setup.

THE RESULT: Allows custom setup of tweeter output level.
