Super Tweeters
This APERION Super Tweeter features a true ribbon design, which uses a 20 μm thick (0.02mm) aluminum ribbon strip. Due to the lightweight and thin ribbon size, it is ultra-responsive to transients and provides the accurate upper frequency detail. The clarity of this speaker brings a sense of lightness and heightening the overall mix without any harsh or distorted traits. The impedance of the aluminum ribbon tweeter is almost constant, so it maintains a consistent frequency response curve in the higher frequency band range up to 40 kHz. True ribbon tweeter designs are able to handle a higher SPL than planar magnetic. Naturally with the true ribbon design, an electrical current can’t directly touch the ribbon so we employed a transformer that reaches up to 60 kHz, which requires two pieces of exceptionally strong neodymium 2-1/8” (55mm) by 3/8” (10mm) magnets to produce the linear magnetic field. The entire magnetic, ribbon, and damping material are enclosed in heavy-duty steel chamber. Overall, this ribbon tweeter design allows for minimal distortion compared to the Planar Magnetic Super Tweeter, and along with the longitudinal shape of the ribbon, the true aluminum ribbon super tweeter creates a delicate and spacious sound field.
