Sold in pairs. The all new Townshend Audio MAXIMUM Ribbon Super Tweeter is designed to extend the response of conventional Hi-Fi speakers to 100kHz. Adding the Super Tweeter to your audio system allows you to experience the advantage of the extended frequency response delivered by the new digital audio formats (DVD-A, DVD-V containing 96/24 stereo PCM audio, and SACD) and to fully utilise the 30kHz plus frequency response previously only available from high-quality vinyl reproduction. Another bonus is that CD and Nicam stereo, together with Dolby Digital and DTS compressed digital audio formats, are also greatly enhanced. Just as the subwoofer fills in the bottom end, the Maximum Super Tweeter fills in the top end. It makes the music much more real! All Instruments - even double basses - take on an extra clarity that is neither bright nor brash. In fact the sound is both clearer and smoother. The really surprising thing is that when the tweeters are played alone, one can barely, if at all, hear a thing. Remarkably, however, all listeners - even, for example, those having little or no sine wave sensitivity above 10kHz experience the same enhancement when the Super Tweeters are engaged, describing the sound of their hi-fi systems as 'more natural' and comfortable to listen to. Embodying super-powerful neodymium magnets and an ultra thin eight micron pure aluminium ribbon, the Super Tweeter offers outstanding performance in an easy-to-drive compact package. The low frequency (-3dB point) of the tweeter's first order crossover is set at 20Khz, and there is useful output down to almost 10 kHz. Part of the magic ot these supertweeters is that they take advantage of the ear's sensitivity to lower distortion signals in that at the frequencies it is playing the Townshend is cleaner than almost any other tweeter and so the highs sound better because the ear is partially ignoring the response of the system's "main/other" tweeter to the advantage of the Townshend. Output may be set to suit speakers with sensitivity from 80dB to 110dB, adjusted in steps by an eight position switch on the rear. The correct setting is easily found by trial and error. Input connectors are 4mm banana sockets. All copper conductors, including the matching transformer windings and the aluminium ribbon, are deep cryogenically treated (DCT) and heat annealed (-190C to +150C) for unrivalled fidelity. Pressure relief vents in the sides of the case are provided to allow the air pressure on the ribbon to equalise in the event of sudden pressure changes. The Super Tweeter may be connected directly across the output of amplifiers up to 350W. An automatically resetting fuse prevents ribbon damage in the event of overload. The Super Tweeters are best placed centrally on top of existing speakers. The (supplied) DCT 1.5m cables are connected to the main speakers' tweeter terminals or directly across the power amplifier. 'piggy back' banana connectors are provided to facilitate connection.   Mvh/Mik112

De har været anmeldt med gode resultat i engelse blade, men hvad, det er jo også et engelsk produkt. Umiddelbart vil jeg sige, at når man betaler 1.500 USD for et sæt bånddiskanter, så bør de også kunne række længere ned end de ca. 10 kHz!

Der findes flere gode båndhøjttalere på markedet som klarer det og de behøver ikke koste så meget. Godt nok rækker de ikke op til hverken 80 eller 100 kHz, men 35-40 burde vel kunne gøre det.

Noget helt andet er, at når man deler ved 10kHz er bølgelængden så lille, at det på det nærmeste er umuligt at få det til at hænge sammen. Det vil uværgerligt give en form for kamfiltereffekt (udfasning), som måske er det nogle hører?

Mit umiddelbare råd er - kig på en god bånddiskant, der kan dele over ved omkring de 2.000 Hz og glem alt om "super".

Hej janils

Lige min filosofi, alt for høj nedre grænse, og til prisen er mine forventninger til produktet noget brugbart.
