The ST-200 Prestige SuperTweeter
Congratulations on choosing this precision hand-crafted component, to complement
your Tannoy Dual Concentric loudspeaker system. Before removing from the flight
case and installing, please take the time to read these instructions, in order to prevent
possible damage.
The Prestige SuperTweeter is designed to provide the extended high frequency
response demanded by modern programme material and sources. The Dual
Concentric still provides the heart of the musical information as a coherent point
source, but at extreme high frequencies is supplemented by the wideband
SuperTweeter. Musical information contains transient information, beyond the range
of human hearing for pure tones. For music to be accurately reproduced, we have
found it essential to accurately preserve this information.
Although initially conceived to complement the Prestige HE range, from Stirling up
to Westminster Royal, it will equally find application with any of our earlier classic
designs, be they previous Prestige models, HPD, Monitor Gold or Monitor Silver for
example. Adjustments are provided for crossover frequency and level to enable
accurate matching.
Features
•
High stiffness titanium dome to minimise effects of dome break-up and extend
frequency response.
•
Copper clad aluminium voice coil on aluminium former for high power handling.
•
Neodymium magnet system also extends frequency response by minimising eddy
current losses in voice coil.
•
Provision for driver magnet system earthing (as in Prestige HE series), to avoid
interference and information masking caused by radio interference.
•
High purity (99.999%) solid silver internal wiring, PTFE coated dielectric.
•
Gold plated terminals, adjustment screws and circuit board for high signal
transparency.
•
Radio Frequency quality inductors in crossover for good high frequency
characteristics.
•
Non-Inductive Planar Thick Film resistors on ceramic substrates, avoid losses
associated with wirewound types.
•
High quality polycarbonate film capacitors, selected for high frequency use.
•
Unique Tannoy Performance Platform gives stable support and accurate variable
adjustment.
