Talk about the various styles and characteristics of tweeters

The treble is definitely the most catchy in a song or a piece of music. When it comes out, it can stimulate the mood of the listener immediately, and it can also stimulate the mood of the audience most in a concert.

what kind of high-pitched unit is the best for speakers?

Let's compare the common types of tweeters one by one.

1 Silk membrane tweeter

Silk membrane tweeter is a kind of soft dome tweeter, and the diaphragm materials are silk membrane, silkworm membrane, rubber membrane and so on. When playing music, the silk-membrane tweeter is dexterous and relaxed, and has a good natural expression, especially when it is used to express classical music, human voice and other music with standard listening concepts. Theoretically, the upper limit frequency of the tweeter should be at least 2KHZ, and the higher the higher the better. Relatively cheap in terms of price, most low-end, high-end speakers also use silk membrane units. However, the unit with excellent high frequency upper limit is also more expensive.

2 metallic treble

metallic treble belongs to a kind of hard dome tweeter. The materials of the tweeter diaphragm are aluminum alloy, titanium alloy, magnesium alloy, titanium alloy composite film, diamond film and so on. The treble played by the metal treble unit has bright timbre and metallic feeling, which is suitable for playing pop music, movie music and various musical instrument effects, and has long service life and is not easy to be damaged. Excellent metal dome tweeter can also represent classical music and human voice well, but it will be much more expensive.

3-cone tweeter

It adopts silk membrane ring tweeter, with a sharp cone-shaped phase cone in it. This waveguide cone design can make the high-frequency response reach 25KHz. Moreover, the ring tenor has higher sound production efficiency than the traditional hemispherical tenor, and its life span is much longer than the traditional silk membrane tenor, which not only keeps the advantages of silk membrane tenor, but also makes up some disadvantages of silk membrane tenor. It has a good performance for human voice, pop and chord music, and this high-pitched unit, commonly known as "pointed nose high-pitched", has been well received, but it is difficult to make and expensive, which is also the reason why it cannot be widely used now.

4-band tenor

Strictly speaking, band tenor is also a kind of metal tenor, but its working mode and appearance characteristics are different from traditional metal tenor, and it is also a new popular tenor in recent years.

the main advantages of belt speakers are light diaphragm and large area. Generally, when playing back the high-pitched part, you can get high-pitched sounds with extremely high definition, extremely fast transient response and little phase distortion. Although the efficiency of band treble is low, it is easier to control, and its frequency response range is widened, which can also be better connected with middle and low frequency units. In piano music and symphony, there will also be good performance.

5 horn treble

It should be said that the horn is different in structure and belongs to different classification methods from the previous ones. Equipped with a horn-shaped amplifier barrel, this can make the voice look more majestic and the person facing it can hear it more clearly. It is this simple physical principle that can make the sound spread farther, and make the sound in the direction of horn projection more concentrated and louder. Second, the high-pitched unit in the horn structure, the above-mentioned units can be equipped.

Generally speaking, the silk membrane tenor is soft, the metal tenor is high and powerful, the cone tenor is accurate and durable, and the belt tenor has wide range, high definition and quick response. Of course, the main reason is the difference and tendency between the price and the music suitable for performance. Which one is the most suitable for you and what do you want most?
