To reproduce high-frequency sound outside the typical tweeter's frequency range, a special kind of loudspeaker driver called a super tweeter is designed. They often operate at frequencies above 10 kHz and can go as high as 100 kHz, much exceeding the range of human hearing. Despite some people's scepticism about their usefulness, super tweeters can be a secret weapon for high-fidelity music.
They improve the accuracy and detail of high-frequency sound reproduction, for example. Many musical instruments, such as triangles and cymbals, produce high-frequency harmonics, which are essential for accurate and lifelike sound reproduction. Super tweeters may be able to detect these harmonics and add clarity and depth to the music that is typically lacking when they are not there.
With the help of a super tweeter, a system's complete sound may be balanced. Without them, the frequency response of the system could be uneven and overly emphasise mid-range frequencies. Super tweeters could fill in the gaps and provide a tone that is more equal.
A super tweeter can give the music a feeling of space and depth. Super tweeters recreate high-frequency sound, which is occasionally lost in conventional speakers, which may result in a more genuine and lifelike listening experience.
