The soft silk dome gives a smooth reproduction of treble detail, which many people find easier on the ear than a harder metal dome. It measures 110mm (4.5\") across the frame, so it fits a wide range of enclosures and replacement projects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside you get a 1.25\" (3cm) aluminium voice coil paired with a strontium magnet weighing 284g. The magnet itself measures 15 x 70mm in diameter, giving the driver the pull it needs to stay accurate at higher volumes. Power handling runs to 40W RMS and 80W maximum, with an impedance of 8 ohms and a sensitivity of 95dB at 1W\/1m. That level of output makes it a sensible match for most mid-sized passive speaker cabinets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frequency response covers 1.5kHz to 22kHz, so this tweeter takes over where a mid or bass driver leaves off and carries the sound right up to the top of the audible range. It works well as a direct replacement for a failed unit or as part of a two-way or three-way design you're putting together yourself. Fit it behind a suitable crossover and you'll get clean, controlled highs without any harshness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower max.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePower rms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDiameter\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110mm (4.5\")\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.5kHz - 22kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImpedance\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8 ohms\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnet weight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.28KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSPL @ 1W\/1m\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e95dB\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVoice coil\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.25\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMagnet size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 x 70mmØ\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat size cutout does this tweeter need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe frame measures 110mm (4.5\") in diameter, so check your enclosure or existing driver against that figure before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat power can it handle?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt handles 40W RMS and up to 80W maximum.
