True ribbon tweeter with waveguide.
Low Q rear chamber resonance is achieved through innovative usage of the shaped wool wedges. Specific density of the wool micro structure in conjunction with chamber/damper geometry result in a high degree of the resonance suppressing. This combination also allows for unobstructed movement of the foil element. Audible difference is a cleaner sounding tweeter with lower possible crossover point.
Waveguide reduces diffraction effects and produces controlled directivety dispersion within the operating range. While limiting vertical off axis response, hence secondary arrival from the floor/ceiling reflections, horizontal axial response, remains wide and uniform.
Offset acoustic center helps easier phase integration between the tweeter and midwoofer.
