At 17kHz the Dual Concentric
TM
HF
unit crosses over to the latest evolution
Tannoy SuperTweeter
TM
. Again many
engineering hours were spent selecting
the right material for the Kingdom
Royal SuperTweeter
TM
dome, with a
magnesium alloy nally being chosen
for its lack of colouration, coherence
and even extension out to 61kHz. Each
dome is vapour coated with a thin
ceramic layer for optimum rigidity and
damping, before being carefully plasma
treated by hand and bonded to the
voice coil. This revolutionary plasma
technique increases the surface
energy of the dome to give greater
coupling to the voice coil and ensure
greater consistency. Combined with a
neodymium motor and rear damping
cavity, the new SuperTweeter
TM
offers
outstanding linearity and accuracy,
alongside higher sensitivity and wider
bandwidth than the previous generation
titanium SuperTweeter
TM
.

For ultimate delity the enthusiast
will appreciate the slight improvement
in clarity and detail that is achieved by
removing the SuperTweeter
TM
grilles
during listening.
The Supertweeter
TM
grille is a friction t
part which locks onto the gold trim via
four discrete slots. Carefully remove by
pulling the wire mesh towards you.
It is essential that the SuperTweeter
TM
diaphragm is not touched, as damage
will destroy its performance and require
specialist repair by your Tannoy dealer.
Any such damage will not be
covered under warranty.
