Bullet Horn Tweeter

(illus -- photo of product)

Your Optimus Bullet Horn Tweeter features a high quality piezo ceramic disc drive bimorph driver element. This ce- ramic driver replaces the traditional voice coil and mag- netic structure, completely eliminating the most common causes of magnetic tweeter failure — distortion due to mechanical interference (such as dirt on the voice coil) and the voice coil interfering with the magnetic structure.

The tweeter requires no crossover network (crossover is optional) and no specific baffling, and can be used on most 4-, 8-, and 16- ohm speakers.

WIRING

Wire the tweeter to your audio system, then test the con- nections.

Connect speaker wire from one of your audio system’s positive outputs to the tweeter’s positive (+) terminal.

Connect speaker wire from your audio system’s matching negative output to the tweeter’s unmarked negative (–) terminal.

Cautions:

•Be sure all wiring is fully protected from sharp edges.

•Be sure the audio system is off when connecting any wires.

•Leave enough slack in the wires so they can reach the terminals easily.

MOUNTING

If you decide to mount the tweeter inside an enclosure, temporarily disconnect the tweeter while you mount it.

If necessary, cut a hole in the enclosure 31/2 inches in di- ameter to accommodate the tweeter.

You need four 3/16-inch screws and four matching nuts (not supplied) to mount the tweeter inside an enclosure. Mount the tweeter from the outside, so its front edge is flush with the front of the mounting surface for proper sound dispersion.
