Tannoy SuperTweeter ST-100 User manual

The Tannoy SuperTweeter provides an increased immediacy,
airiness and impact making music more true to life
SuperTweeter ST100

The SuperTweeter is designed to provide the extended high frequency
response demanded by modern programme material and sources
(e.g. SACD / DVDA), which have driven the requirement for
loudspeakers with extended frequency bandwidth performance. Always
at the forefront of audio evolution, Tannoy has been developing just
such wide bandwidth loudspeaker technology over many years.
Music contains transient information and rich harmonics beyond the
range of human hearing for pure tones. Even bass notes have leading
edge transients reaching 30kHz. Operating between the roll-off point
of the high frequency unit of your existing loudspeakers and 54kHz,
ST100 SUPERTWEETER
the Tannoy SuperTweeter will accurately reproduce
the leading edge of individual notes allowing the
listener to experience the entire bandwidth information
of instruments.
In addition, by extending the frequency response by
two octaves corrects time and phase response within
the bandwidth of normal human hearing. Taking
these acoustical phase anomalies beyond the range
of human hearing adds realism to the soundstage
by improving imaging and placement of instruments.
The SuperTweeter provides an increased immediacy,
airiness and impact - making music sound more
natural and true to life.

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 Tannoy 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 excellent high frequency
characteristics • Non-Inductive Planar Thick Film resistors on
ceramic substrates, to avoid loss associated with wirewound types
• High quality polycarbonate film capacitors, selected for high
frequency use • Unique Tannoy Performance Platform TM, gives
stable support and accurate variable adjustment
