All about tweeters
If you want to install a music system in your car, tweeters are essential to cover the upper frequency ranges
from 3,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz. Most often with the support of a tweeter, voices and sounds can appear natural to the listener and unfold their full sonic power. It is therefore not surprising that our top seller from Ground Zero, the
"URANIUM GZUT 28SQ", for example, reaches up to 25,000 Hz.

Finding the right tweeter
Tweeters can be used in many different ways. They are therefore available to buy in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, with very different characteristics. In order to make the right choice for your own sound system, it is first important to be aware of your personal
ideas and requirements. For example, if you want the sound to be directed in a certain direction and reproduced at high levels, a
horn tweeter is the right choice. However, if a full 180-degree sound output is desired, a dome tweeter should be chosen. The latter is by far the most common form of tweeter. Horn tweeters are also used in PA systems, while
ribbon tweeters are also used in car hi-fi systems. If the tweeter is to be installed in a car, it is also important to consider the correct dimensions for the installation location in the car. These can vary greatly depending on whether the speaker is to be integrated into the car door, the A-pillar or the mirror triangle. For all these installation locations, it is advisable to install the tweeter so that it faces the driver to ensure the
best sound with the least distortion. Depending on the desired use of the tweeter, very different things need to be taken into account and one of the tweeter types selected.
Technical details to consider when buying
In order to ensure a crystal-clear listening experience in the higher frequency ranges, manufacturers today not only produce different types of tweeters, but also use very different materials to ensure the best possible sound. For example, some manufacturers use a ceramic coating on aluminum or magnesium for the construction of dome
tweeters in order to achieve unbeatable rigidity and damping. Other manufacturers, however, tend to use a lightweight fabric material for dome tweeters, which promises advantages in terms of sound resolution. Such small differences in the production method and choice of material for tweeters can make a big difference for people with auditory sensitivities. For this reason, the chosen tweeters should be checked for the materials used as well as the functionality of the tweeter before purchase. It should also be noted that a system usually includes
amplifiers in addition to the loudspeakers in order to provide the tweeters with optimum clean power. As a tweeter never stands alone, but is always part of a 2-way system or 3-way system, care should also be taken to ensure that the tweeter harmonizes with the midrange and
woofer.
