A tweeter or treble speaker is a special type of loudspeaker (usually dome, inverse dome or horn-type) that is designed to produce high audio frequencies, typically up to 100 kHz. The name is derived from the high pitched sounds made by some birds (tweets), especially in contrast to the low woofs made by many dogs , after which low-frequency ...
Super tweeters have been designed for psychoacoustic testing, for extended-range digital audio such as Super Audio CD intended for audiophiles, for biologists performing research on animal response to sounds, and for ambient sound systems in zoos. Ribbon tweeters have been made that can reproduce 80 kHz [1] and even 100 kHz. [2]
ADAM Audio was founded in 1999 in Berlin, Germany. [2] starting with the development of their eXtended Accelerating Ribbon Technology [3] (X-ART) tweeter, based on the invention of the Air Motional Transformer by Oskar Heil in the 1960's. [1] The acronym "ADAM" is also a reference to the Biblical figures Adam and Eve. [citation needed]
Gold Dome C-CAM: First introduced in the latter half of the 1980s, the Gold Dome Tweeter is built on its maker's 1985 metal dome tweeter technology. Monitor Audio anodises its ceramic-coated aluminium/magnesium alloy, creating a thinner, lighter more rigid dome, one which is extremely efficient and less prone to audio distortion. [7]
Magnepan has used several different technologies in constructing their magnetostatic speakers.All Magnepan speakers are based on flexible ferrite magnet strips (like refrigerator magnets), 0.060" (1.5 mm) thick, typically cut to either 1/4" (6 mm) wide (mid-bass) or 1/8" (3 mm) wide (tweeters) and more or less the length of the speaker.
Roksan was the first company ever to mechanically isolate the speaker tweeter from the bass unit using springs, in their Darius loudspeaker. [3] This design concept has since been followed by other high end speaker manufacturers. [citation needed]
