This Super Tweeter is a planar-magnetic, flat-ribbon tweeter consisting of Kapton film with a pattern of aluminum conductors. The crossover network used non-inductive resistors, and use film semiconductor capacitors. A linear phase response provides time coherent sound reproduction, allowing for an accurate sound stage.

What is a Super Tweeter speaker? Put simply, it’s an additional tweeter unit which covers a wide and extended high-frequency response, beyond that of your existing loudspeaker’s integrated tweeters.

Many loud speaker systems have poor high frequency performance. A Super Tweeter specializes in ultra-high frequencies and is used in conjunction with a bookshelf or tower speaker. Its purpose is to create a more realistic sound field, often characterized as "airiness," that enhances the listening experience. Super Tweeters are sometimes found in high fidelity speaker systems and home theater systems. They are used to supplement the sound of tweeters by reproducing frequencies which the existing tweeter may produce only with a narrow polar output, or perhaps with distortion. A Super Tweeter speaker provides auxiliary high frequency effect, detail, density and texture that can enhance your existing system’s sound field with width, depth and enhanced timbre.  

Aperion Super Tweeter is generally intended to respond well into ultra-high frequencies over 20 kHz, the commonly accepted upper frequency limit of human hearing. Super Tweeters are ideal for taking advantage extended-range audio formats such as vinyl, SACD, FLAC, UHD Bluray and other high-fidelity products.

Features

Extended High Frequency Flat-Ribbon Tweeter

aperion-pst-planar-ribbon-super-tweeter-speaker

This is not your normal tweeter. While most tweeters max out at around 20K, the APERION® Planar Ribbon Super Tweeter extends another 20,000+ Hertz above that.

5-point Crossover + OFF

PST Planar-Magnetic Ribbon Super Tweeter Speaker Pair - Aperion Audio

Choose between 8, 10, 12, 14 or 16 kHz to set the Super Tweeter floor for the perfect blend with your speaker. The "OFF" position renders the Super Tweeter inert. The lowest setting, 8 kHz, will provide the most overlap with your existing tweeter while the highest setting, 16 kHz, will have minimal overlap, picking up at the top-end of the range. The crossover slope is 12 dB/octave.

Treble Adjust Knob

Too much of a good things? Use the treble adjust to reduce the output of the Super Tweeter. Just flip the switch and adjust to taste, up to -5dB.

Easy Connection

The Super Tweeter shares the same binding posts as the speaker you're pairing it with. It feeds off the power your main speaker is already receiving, so no need to connect directly to an amplifier.

Emily ★★★★★

Swapped these in next to my existing bookshelf speakers and the cymbals on old jazz records finally sound like metal instead of a hiss. The planar-magnetic ribbon is fast enough that you hear the stick hitting the ride, not just the ring afterward. For an entry-level pair they punch way above what I

Sebastian H. ★★★★★

I added these ribbon super tweeters to my bookshelf setup and the cymbal decay on jazz records finally sounds like it's in the room. The planar-magnetic ribbon is noticeably faster than the dome tweeters they replaced.

Owen ★★★★★

I swapped these in for the stock tweeters in my bookshelf pair and the cymbal decay just hangs in the air now. The ribbon design is noticeably smoother up top than the dome tweeters I had before, no harshness at all.
