Introduction
The Aperion Audio AMI Dual Firing Super Tweeter Speaker is a high-fidelity compliment to any home audio system. Designed to reside on top of your existing speaker, the AMT Dual Firing Super Tweeter can be used from 8kHz to 40kHz. With 5 preset crossover points, the Aperion Audio AMT Dual Firing Super Tweeter provides customizable bright and detailed sound, enhancing the width & depth of your stereo sound field and accentuates the ultra-high frequency extension.
Setup:
Place the AMT Dual Firing Super Tweeter on top of the speaker you’re pairing it with and connect it in parallel to the terminals of that speaker. A little experimentation works best to determine the optimal crossover point and output level by using the adjustment features on the rear panel. This will help the AMT Dual Firing Super Tweeter to perfectly integrate with your speakers.
One of the unique features of our AMT Dual Firing Super Tweeter is the onboard adjustable crossover. There are 5 crossover points: 8kHz, 10Khz,12kHz, 14kHz, 16kHz.
Another great feature is the treble adjust Knob. there are five output attenuation options: OdB,-1dB,-2dB,-3dB,-4dB,-5dB.
The Aperion Audio AMT Dual Firing Super Tweeter can be suitably matched with any speaker whose sensitivity is between 87-96 dB. We recommend initially setting cross- Over point to 12Khz and adjusting to preference from there. Depending on your speakers, you may want to try the different crossover settings to increase or decrease the AMT Dual Firing Super Tweeter’s operating range. The lower the crossover point, the more overlap there will be with your existing tweeter. If you feel the output of the AMT Dual Firing Super Tweeter is too high, use the Treble Adjust Knob to reduce the level.
The chart below can be used to help match the AMT Dual Firing Super Tweeter with your existing speaker’s sensitivity:
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What is a ribbon tweeter?****
A ribbon tweeter reproduces high frequencies by using a very thin diaphragm (often made of aluminum or possibly metalized plastic film) to support a planar coil, which is frequently made by depositing aluminum vapor. The coil is suspended in a strong magnetic field, which is typically provided by neodymium magnets.
What is an AMT speaker?****
In contrast to a planar ribbon loudspeaker, the AMT’s diaphragm has a bellows- like pleated shape.
What are super tweeter speakers?****
In a multi-driver loudspeaker system, a super tweeter is a speaker driver designed to produce extremely high frequencies. Its goal is to generate a more realistic sound field, which is frequently described as having “airy-ness.”
Do super tweeters make a difference?****
Super tweeters increase a loudspeaker’s frequency range by many octaves above human hearing, from 16 to 20 kHz (at least audible to kids!). Since these are super tweeters, it makes sense that they should have a very high output (and the Townshend tweeters do).
Why use a super tweeter?****
Super Tweeters are used in conjunction with bookshelf or tower speakers and are experts in ultra-high frequencies. Its goal is to improve the listening experience by producing a more realistic sound environment that is sometimes described as “airiness.”
Do you need an amp for super tweeters?****
A tweeter won’t need an amplifier if all you’re after is greater treble (“highs”) but not additional clarity, volume, or power. If you don’t mind a little less volume and power, you could even link them to a standard car audio.
How many watts are good tweeters?****
Normal programme content only receives a few watts from tweeters. Most have 50 watts of programme material or genuine power ratings of 2 to 4 watts.
Do tweeters need their own amp channel?****
You will have better control over the power and volume of your tweeters if you use separate amp channels (full range output) for each.
Do tweeters increase sound?****
Those high-frequency sounds come from tweeters. Midrange speakers, meanwhile, produce mid-high to mid-low tones. Lastly, woofers create low-frequency bass.
Do you have to use crossover with tweeters?****
Considering this, automobile audio newcomers are frequently shocked to discover that every car audio system in use today necessitates crossovers on some level.
Can I connect 2 tweeters together?****
Two tweeters may be linked together either serially or parallelly. You can link two mids either in series or parallel.
Do tweeters produce bass?****
Bass sounds cannot be produced by tweeters.
Do tweeters need a speaker box?****
Typically, tweeters are encapsulated and do not require enclosures.
Do tweeters need a capacitor?****
A capacitor is used in a straightforward passive crossover to restrict the amount of low frequencies that reach the tweeter.
