99% of "ceramic" tweeters are aluminium oxide. basically it's just a deep anodized aluminium but "ceramic" sells better than "anodized" )

He forgot plasma tweeters, Twitter tweeters, and the birds, they tweet too.😂

I’m running those same Dayton Audio PTMini­6 Planar Tweeter! I’m glad someone reviewed them so far!

Very good content as always man ! Keep going !

There are like 5,000 models of tweeters in the market. It's insane.

Thanks for the info, I learned a lot from this video!!! 😃🙏👍

You can take the compression driver apart, just put a flat head screwdriver under the alu plate the the terminals attached to and the dome is under there. All compression driver(pro audio) need to be serviceable with replacement diaphragms.

@ 6:25 Geezus!... that a lot of Neo for a Tweeter! I never seen a tweeter with that many big neo magnets before!

Amazing video! Very interesting and useful information! Looking forward for the second part with measurements. Thank you!🎉🎉

Nice overview. Hopefully your AMT demo and explanation will help those unfamiliar with it's operation. So many enthusiasts really don't grasp fundamental differences in tweeter platforms. Good work. - You mentioned the lack of planar tweets in car audio, I have +40yr old planar magnetic Alpine tweeter modules! They're actually a two-way design, w/soft dome below and a waveguided planar magnetic above. They've not seen any signal voltage in decades! Circa '82 ish, they were my dash mounted high modules in a '76 Chevette! (three-way active 10", 5.25", and the Alpine tweets). It's stored, but I still have each component of that entire system. ----- ‐ Chinese knockoff of a Chinese Dayton?(!) - I'm not familiar with AMT polars orienting to the pleated direction. I don’t understand what's at play there. Have you tested that? Perhaps the grill perforations impact propagation(?). Absent a waveguide, conventional wisdom would suggest that is simply the radiating size of a driver's dimension that impacts polar behavior. Thank you. Always solid content! Much appreciated.

i always loved ribbon tweeters.. nice video cheers i have ow build speakers with the most expensive audaphon ribbon tweeters and its a VERY good tweeter so accurate

Excellent content. Looking forward to your next episode.

You are very good at explaining this stuff. Cool to know exactly why the SB acoustics tweeter has the 'dimple'. I am still curious exactly how similar planar magnetic and folded ribbon technologies are to each other. Really looking forward to your comparison videos.

Very nice, I really enjoyed the video and thanks for the time spent in making it. I learned a lot and makes me want to experiment with ring tweeters Looking forward to the next video I will definitely Watch

Great video and explanation. Thank you for all your hard work. 😁💯

I have the planar magnetic in a 3d printed wave guide as a super tweeter. I am really interested in the tweeter test comparison video as I enjoy listening to them in this role.

31:07 My Philips fwb mcm11 bookshelfs has that type of tweeters in them. Btw 8:56 thats just a mylar tweeter. Its like a soft plastic material. Usually its silver or black

Very nice exhibition and plenty of details I was hoping to learn. Thanks - 16:20 love to know if it works, as well XD *All you need to know about tweeters | Tweeters 101*

Great info 👍.

Imo the best tweeter is the one that matches the drivers it's paired with. I lena towards a tweeter that can be crossed over in the 1-2.5k range. The more of the frequency spectrum that can be played by the lighter moving mass (tweeter) the better. My current favorite pair of speakers utilize the hairpin style tweeter so is only really good on axis but boy does it sound smooth!

great timing of this video! i am currently "shopping around " for tweeters for my toyota. i am using dayton amt mini 8s now, and they sound very, very good, but, as you stated, they only go down to 4k. i am running 2 way front, and want something to go a bit lower, as i have dynaudio 8s in the kicks, and am really pushing their upper range. i think i have decided on gds planar magnetics (grs pt2522), but can't decide between the open or closed back versions. i'll let you know how it works out.

The video is very educated 🎉🤓

I took a chance on some edifier s3000 mk3's it says they have neo planar diagram tweeters and oh my god they sound beautiful.

That energy that's radiated to the rear of an AMT tweeter.. Now imagine the blissful performance if that energy were to be present in the performance. Danish loudspeaker company Audiovector do precisely that with their in house custom made(as you said hand folded!) AMT being vented to the rear of the enclosure. Obviously not a concept that could work in an automotive installation.

I am interested to see how the Planar magnetic performs. Good stuff Nijerus

Are the Linaeum tweeters considered electrostatic? I still have my Optimus Pro LX-7 speakers that I purchased in 1996 and they have the monopole Linaeum tweeters. I still prefer them over the Sony SS-CX5 speakers.

I’d like to find an acceptable but cheaper substitute for the extreme-price, little Mundorf dipole AMT tweeter. Dayton? I hope you do that AMT comparison you mentioned soon. And, thanks for the video, it was good.

Great video! Will we be seeing you at USC next month???

Excellent 👍🏼

I would love to see how the planar Mid/Tweeters perform. They have frequency range from 250-20khz. I've been thinking about ordering this one and seeing how it performs. GRS PT6825-8

I got an additional coil on the back of my tweeter how does it impact the sound its producing?

Transducer Lab has pure ceramic dome, real BE domes and real carbon fiber domes.

Are you going to make a video comparing mid bass speakers or already have one?

You described the AMT dispersion correctly, but perhaps the car audio example was not clearly explained. Depending on the application, you may want the horizontal dispersion to be either wide or narrow. The point you were trying to make about dealing with reflections in a car is that with an AMT you get the option of mounting it "sideways" such that the horizontal dispersion is narrow and the vertical dispersion is wide, which can be beneficial in minimizing the reflections coming from the side windows and accounting for the people of different heights at the listening position

I like Cato

Paper is ok with me! PAPER.

Compression driver works by compressing the air creating high spl inside of the quench zone or where the actual cone is larger than a funnel looking horn then when it exits it has a natural effect of unloading if you will its kinda like a ported sub that unloads at resonant frequency a combined resonance of sub and port. Anyway no matter what you compress as soon as the pressure or squeeze ends or stops the energy in the air expanding gets a lil extra oomph if ya will to be percieved louder as all those tones were compressed prior to release from horn also meaning the shape of horn has dramatic effects on output sound as im sure changing the compression or quench zone would have as much or more an impact on output sound. Amt or planar are not expensive unless your a brand whore buying a name also they do play low considering the fact they also make midrange amt type driver or ribbon drivers

okaaayyy.. so.. my cabasse 8200069125A is a dome tweeter? did I get it right? or its some mix due to the plastic cover on the top

I wanna know what that dome mid is

Berilium!

Pardon my inquisition, but as I'm new to your channel, I do not know... In which country do you live? I ask mainly because I want to import some specific speakers from Italy that I can't seem to purchase from the US.

Dayton AMT rated to go as low as 1.8kHz

And you are missing cone paper tweeters. If we look at dome in not stright front but at sharp angle it's seen smaller. This is one of reasons why dome tweeters do not have uni directional characteristic. - enough test it with listening. other reason is reflection from flat base surface which is part of it's design and adds to problems. The construction of dome secures it's total stiffness and it with it's ball shape provides that for super high frequencies where radium of dome is comparable to wave length - say it is 1 cm radius and 2 cm wave length ( 15 kHz) will vanish for listener to zero. Adequately for near by will be unfortunately deminished - by contra phase between top of dome and it's round near suspension. No any change of material can make significant improvement to it because only geometry decides. That stiffness is bad in compare to cone tweeters where signals use separate surfaces of cone I see in your video that they developed cone with permanently immobilized top of ball which in fact limits its stiffness. shifts problem up, say 60% higher which is enough and by softening alows adaptation simmilar to old paper cone tweeters. But no so precisiely because it is not so controlled as in some old tweeters where membrane was sectioned by pressed in paper rings

Best Tweeter list please

Your chennel is sick. Ive bought an 8 channel steg dsp 8*100 watts now struggling to choose speakers. I want to keep it looking stock. So can run 2 x6.5 and 2 1 inch tweeters. In front and back. Really struggling to choose speakers. Ive read i need to be above 0.5 qts for car speakers. Dont want to spend a fortune. Could you advise on any? I checked faital pro but they all need more power and mostly 8 ohms

Your cat is beautiful, you did presentation of these drivers well, but I still hate you for pushing any drivers by your fingers.
