Tweeter drivers for sale

Tweeters, unlike woofers and midwoofers, specialize in reproducing high frequencies. These so-called high-frequency drivers are crucial for delivering clear and detailed treble in a sound system. The frequency response of a standard tweeter is usually between 2 kHz and 20 kHz, but there are special tweeters that can reproduce frequencies as high as 100 kHz. Their compact design and lightweight diaphragm make tweeters ideal for this task. At SoundImports, you will find a wide range of high-quality tweeters from top brands such as SB Acoustics, SEAS, Morel, Dayton Audio, Monacor, Peerless by Tymphany and Scan-Speak.

What is a dome tweeter?

Dome tweeters, the most common type, use a dome-shaped diaphragm. This dome is driven by a voice coil in a magnetic field, enabling accurate and responsive sound production. Dome tweeters are versatile and offer an excellent balance between performance and price.

What is a horn/waveguide tweeter?

Horn/waveguide tweeters combine a traditional speaker diaphragm with a horn or waveguide structure. This structure focuses sound and improves efficiency, resulting in powerful sound projection with less distortion.

What is a ribbon tweeter?

Ribbon tweeters use a thin strip of metal (often aluminum) as the diaphragm. This design provides exceptionally detailed and subtle high-frequency reproduction. However, they have low impedance and require a transformer or special amplification.

What is an AMT tweeter?

Air Motion Transformer tweeters, often referred to as AMT tweeters, have a folded diaphragm that efficiently moves air. They are known for their dynamic response and can handle large powers. This makes them a popular choice for high-end audio systems.

What is a ring radiator tweeter?

The ring radiator tweeter is a variant of the dome tweeter in which the diaphragm has a ring shape. This construction reduces resonance and distortion, resulting in clean and detailed reproduction of the highest frequencies.

What are compression drivers?

Compression drivers are commonly used in professional audio and PA systems. They are designed to produce high sound levels with efficient energy transfer, making them ideal for large rooms or outdoor applications.

What is a bullet tweeter?

Bullet tweeters are identified by their distinctive "bullet" shaped phase plug. They are designed to provide high directivity and clear, sharp high-frequency reproduction.

What is a piezo tweeter?

Piezo tweeters use piezoelectric materials to produce sound waves. They have no traditional voice coil and magnet structure, which makes them efficient and reliable, especially in high power load applications.

What is a planar tweeter?

Planar tweeters use a flat diaphragm to produce sound. They are known for their wide, even sound distribution and low distortion, making them suitable for listening environments where accurate sound reproduction is essential.

What is a cone tweeter?

Cone tweeters, although less common than dome tweeters, use a cone-shaped diaphragm. They offer a simple but effective way to reproduce high frequencies and are sometimes used in budget-friendly or vintage speaker systems.

To measure and optimize the performance of your tweeters, SoundImports also offers high-quality test and measurement equipment. Whether you are an audiophile or a professional in sound, our equipment will help you get the most out of your speakers.
