TW022WA05     22 mm textile tweeter, low resonance, 4 ohm

 

 

 

 

 

 

TW022WA05 is a tweeter designed for applications requiring the highest level of performance and most extended and linear high frequency response.

Innovation
Tweeters used to feature a separate rear chamber in order to obtain low resonance frequency. Not any longer. By designing the internal parts to accommodate new larger internal volumes, the TW022WA05 offers an unusually low  resonance frequency.
The design with 22 mm voice coil and wide surround caters for both applications that would normally require traditional 3/4” tweeters and those, where 1” tweeters would usually be used.

Ordering info

  • 22 mm design for optimal compromise between on- and off-axis frequency response, resonance frequency, and power handling
  • Internal volumes for low resonance frequency and distortion
  • Precision-coated textile diaphragm for improved consistency and high-frequency extension
  • Optimized dome shape for ultra high frequency cutoff
  • Vented voice coil former for reduced distortion and compression
  • Copper-clad aluminium voice coil wire offering lower moving mass for improved efficiency and transient response
  • Build-in cavities under dome/edge to equalize pressure for lower distortion and lower resonance frequency
  • Flexible lead wires for higher power handling and larger excursion
  • Gold plated terminals to prevent oxidation and ensure long-term reliable connection
  • Delivered with foam gasket attached for hassle-free mounting and secure cabinet sealing

Please observe that these text files for download are actual measurements of the drivers measured in infinite baffle and without any enclosure. Measuring the drivers in a finite baffle (like the baffle of most speaker cabinets) and in any size of enclosure will lead to different response curves.

Note 5

It is generally a rough simplification to assume that loudspeaker transducer voice coils exhibit the characteristics of an inductor. Instead it is a far more accurate approach to use the more advanced model often referred to as the “Wright empirical model”, also used in LEAP-4 as the TSL model (www.linearx.com), involving parameters Krm, Erm, Kxm, and Exm. This more accurate transducer model is described in a technical paper (PDF) here.
