Convention Paper

A New Piezoelectric Direct Radiating Tweeter

Authors: Schafft, Hugo

AES Convention 42 · Paper 862 · May 1972

Abstract

Employing a momentum drive principle, a circular ceramic bender is attached to a paper cone. A high performance driver together with it's lossless suspension makes this speaker efficient enough to be operated directly from a low voltage source. An essentially flat response is achieved by controlling and utilizing the various resonances. The design philosophy and the performance data are discussed in detail.
