What is a ribbon tweeter?
Ribbon
tweeters are flat tweeters that work with a
wafer-thin membrane. This is electrically conductive and also acts as a voice coil. The membrane consists of a rectangular metal foil that is located within a strong magnetic field and generates high frequencies with the help of air vibrations. Ribbon tweeters make sense in both 2-way and 3-way systems and can be installed in a space-saving manner.
Difference between ribbon tweeters and AMTs
AMT stands for
Air Motion Transformer and describes a principle that is based on the interaction of a thin metal diaphragm and a strong permanent magnet, similar to ribbon tweeters. The special feature of
AMT tweeters is that the foil membrane is folded many times like an accordion. As a result, AMTs produce a higher efficiency and better impulse response.
Which tweeter is the right one?
Anyone who wants to equip their
sound system with high-quality tweeters is well served with both variants. Sound enthusiasts who attach great importance to high-end sound can bring out fine nuances in the sound characteristics with an AMT tweeter. For maximum listening pleasure, the use of a signal processor (DSP) is recommended for both types of tweeter.
