What is a ribbon tweeter?

Ribbon tweeter are flat tweeters that are equipped with a wafer-thin membrane work. This is electrically conductive and also acts as a voice coil. The diaphragm 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.
