  Tweeter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tweeter placement can be critical since the high frequencies are much more directional than the lower frequencies handled by a woofer.
Cone tweeters have the same basic form as that of a dynamic speaker driver with optimisations to operate at higher frequencies.
A dome tweeter is constructed by coupling a light voice coil to a light dome (made of paper or thin metal or other suitable material) which is attached to the magnet or the top-plate with a rigid suspension.

 Tweeter: Just the facts...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
A tweeter is a loudspeaker (Electro-acoustic transducer that converts electrical signals into sounds loud enough to be heard at a distance) that produces high frequencies.
Tweeters for sound reinforcement (additional info and facts about sound reinforcement) and public address (additional info and facts about public address) applications are often horn-loaded piezoelectric speaker (Someone who expresses in language; someone who talks (especially someone who delivers a public speech or someone especially garrulous)) s.
Because tweeter voice coil wire (Ligament made of metal and used to fasten things or make cages or fences etc) must be small diameter to reduce weight, they are the most sensitive of any speaker type to overpowering and burnout.

 Electro-acoustic models
The on axis ripples in the tweeter response are a mixture of diffraction off the midrange driver cones in the M-T-M arrangement, primarily at lower frequencies, and diffraction off the panel edges at higher frequencies.
Tweeter and woofer outputs are adjusted relative to it.
With a tweeter impedance of about 4.5 ohm over its used frequency range this corresponds to (2.83)^2 / 4.5 = 1.8 W. For the paralleled midranges with 3.5 ohm impedance the power becomes 2.3 W and <1.2 W for the woofer drivers at >6.5 ohm total.

Its driver complement consisted of a small woofer, a tweeter, and a super tweeter.

 Ultra Tweeter   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The Ultra Tweeters' principle of operation is very unconventional, and unique, having nothing whatsoever to do with reinforcing the treble frequencies of the primary speakers or attenuating EMI/RFI.
Since the Ultra Tweeters operate on the entire audio band, the improvement to the sound is not frequency-selective, but across the audio frequency spectrum.
Ultra Tweeters are compatible with any speakers and, because they operate at such an extremely high frequency, there are no issues related to beaming, time alignment of drivers or matching the acoustic output of the existing speakers.

 Tweeter shareholder makes move: Letter asks company for vote on scrapping anti-takeover rules
The letter is the latest move by Wattles, who has been buying Tweeter shares steadily all summer, in what is viewed by many observers as an effort to gain control of the Canton-based consumer electronics retailer.
Tweeter's plan helps insulate the company from a hostile takeover by allowing other shareholders to buy shares from Tweeter at a discount once an investor acquires more than 15 percent of Tweeter's shares.
Wattles filed his letter by the deadline for proposals to be included in the company's next annual proxy, which is slated to be distributed to investors later this year for an annual meeting in January.

 Speaker Asylum - Re: Rear Tweeter effects.... - David Aiken, August 15, 2004 at 13:38:08   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The rear tweeters were on when the audition started and I initially quite liked the sense of airiness and a feeling of spaciousness and width to the soundstage that I heard.
I tried lowering the level of the tweeter at first which brought some improvement but, once having identified these issues, it still remained possible to hear them while the rear tweeter was operating, albeit at lower levels.
In a very large room with the speakers placed well away from the walls and with the earliest reflections from the rear tweeter arriving considerably after the arrival of the direct sound, the rear tweeter may actually help, especially if the room itself is a little on the dead side.
