The key element of
RT1C-A is a membrane, which consists of KaptonŽ film with a
pattern of Aluminum conductors. The conductors take about 90% of
the whole vibrating area. The membrane assembly is placed
precisely between two rows of Neodymium bar magnets. An Aluminum
mounting flange, with flared wave guide, controls the frequency
response and directivity of the tweeter. This tweeter is
magnetically shielded and is an extremely flat driver. It's depth
is only 17 mm including mounting flange! The RT1C-A has resistive
impedance in the audio frequency range. This unique feature
provides a friendly load for an amplifier and facilitates easy
crossover design.
The vibrating element of the RT1C-A is almost weightless compared
to a dome tweeter. It provides an immediate and precise response
to any transients in the original signal. The RT1C-A has an
exceptional ability to reveal the dynamics of instruments with
complex high frequency spectra. Unlike conventional tweeters and
electrostatic speakers, the RT1C-A has an extremely wide sound
dispersion in the horizontal plane. The radiating area of the
tweeter is 50 x 13 mm, where 13mm defines the horizontal
dimension.
At the same time, contrary to other dynamic tweeters, the RT1C-A
has well-controlled dispersion in the vertical plane. This feature
helps to avoid disturbing floor and ceiling reflections in home
environments. What is wonderful is that you don't have to use
three tweeters in home theater systems anymore in order to achieve
the desired vertical directivity!
Considering all of the acoustic properties of RT1C-A, it becomes
clear why many critical listeners among audiophiles very highly
prize planar transducers for their unsurpassed clarity,
transparency and ability to deliver every tiniest musical detail. |
