High-end Audio Super Tweeters
We added a page for high-end audio super tweeters to the Audiophile’s Guide to the Galaxy.
Super tweeters are high fidelity stand-alone devices that produce very high frequencies. They tpically [I would say] start at about about 5000 Hz and often rise to above 20,000 Hz.
The help fill in high-frequency harmonics which in practice helps the midrange and other frequencies sound more authoritative and real – as well as adding the ‘air’ and ‘image solidity’ that one might expect.
Thought there would be a large number of these. But if there are, they are hard to find [kind of the reason for collecting them all in the guide in the first place].
One of the more popular, the MuRata series of spherical super tweeters, has stopped production:
Translated from the Japanese:
“Notice of end of production of spherical tweeter and spherical speakers
concerning (harmonic enhancer) all models spherical tweeter and our spherical speakers then it has expanded over the long time, I was allowed to end all production and sales.
Inquiries such as repair for this product, toll-free: or, (00: 00-12 13:00: 00-17 9 excluding weekends and holidays, our regular holiday) 0120-015-008 here to ask I would like to. With Thanks very much for your patronage of the past, as will your understanding, thank you.”
As usual, if anybody knows of any high-end super tweeters [and we do not mean regular tweeters, which seems to be a lot of what Google finds] then PLEASE let us know about them.
