PRESTIGE ST200 SUPERTWEETER

The SuperTweeter is designed to provide the extended high frequency response demanded by modern programme material and sources. It not only resolves fine detail of high frequency notes but also effectively enhances the listening experience even at lower frequencies. Extending the frequency response by two octaves corrects time and phase response within the bandwidth of normal human hearing.

Music contains transient information and rich harmonics beyond the range of human hearing for pure tones. Even low frequency notes have leading edge transients reaching 30kHz. By operating between the roll-off point of your existing speakers and 54kHz, the SuperTweeter will accurately reproduce the leading edge of individual notes allowing the listener to experience the entire bandwidth information of

instruments. The SuperTweeter provides an increased immediacy, airiness and impact - making music sound more natural and true to life.

Although initially conceived to complement the current Tannoy Prestige HE range, from Stirling up to Westminster Royal, it will also find application with many earlier Tannoy classic designs; previous Prestige models, HPD, Monitor Gold or Monitor Silver for example. Adjustments are provided for crossover frequency and level.

The Tannoy Dual Concentric™ will still provide the heart of the musical information as a coherent point source. Extreme high frequencies can then be supplemented by the SuperTweeter to provide incredible wideband detail.

Features: High stiffness titanium dome to minimise effects of dome break-up and extend frequency response • Copper clad aluminium voice coil on aluminium former for high power handling

Neodymium magnet system also extends frequency response by minimising eddy current losses in voice coil • Provision for driver magnet system earthing, to avoid interference and information masking caused by radio interference • High purity (99.999%) solid silver internal wiring, PTFE coated dielectric • Gold plated terminals, adjustment screws and circuit board for high signal transparency • Radio Frequency quality inductors in crossover for excellent high frequency characteristics • Non-Inductive Planar Thick Film resistors on ceramic substrates, to avoid loss associated with wirewound types • High quality polycarbonate film capacitors, selected for superior high frequency performance

Tweeter specifications

Tannoy tweeters are renowned components in the world of high-fidelity audio, playing a critical role in the production of clear and detailed high-frequency sounds. Designed by the British audio company Tannoy, these tweeters are often a key element in both home audio systems and professional speaker setups, known for their ability to deliver crystal-clear highs that complement a wide range of music genres.

One of the standout features of Tannoy tweeters is their use of advanced materials. High-quality domes made from soft materials, like silk or polyester, are commonly utilized. These materials contribute to a smooth frequency response and reduce unwanted resonance, resulting in a clean sound reproduction that emphasizes the nuances of music. Additionally, some models employ hard dome designs or ceramic materials to achieve specific sound characteristics, balancing warmth with detail.

Tannoy’s Dual Concentric technology is another defining characteristic of their tweeters. This innovation integrates the tweeter into the center of a larger woofer, allowing both drivers to produce sound from the same point in space. This alignment enhances phase coherence and improves stereo imaging, providing listeners with a more immersive experience. The result is a more unified sound stage where high and low frequencies blend seamlessly.

The power handling capabilities of Tannoy tweeters also stand out. Many models are designed to manage high power levels without distortion, allowing for dynamic range and clarity even at louder volumes. This makes them suitable for various applications, from small listening rooms to large concert venues. The wide dispersion pattern of Tannoy tweeters ensures that audio can be enjoyed from different angles, making them ideal for both casual listening and critical audio work.

In terms of installation, Tannoy tweeters are versatile and often available in various configurations, including standalone models and those integrated into larger speaker systems. Their ease of integration and compatibility with a variety of amplifiers further enhances their appeal.

Ultimately, Tannoy tweeters combine innovative design, advanced materials, and sophisticated technology to produce an exceptional listening experience. Their commitment to quality and performance makes them a favored choice among audiophiles and professionals, solidifying Tannoy's reputation as a leader in the audio industry. Whether used in home theaters, studios, or public address systems, Tannoy tweeters deliver an impressive sonic performance that captivates listeners, showcasing the intricate details of every sound.
