Performance Characteristics
• Smooth, detailed high-frequency response without harshness.
• Large 28 mm dome offers slightly warmer, richer upper frequencies compared to 25 mm domes.
• Optimized dispersion pattern improves imaging and spatial detail.
• Neodymium motor ensures fast transient response and dynamic articulation.
Key Features
• Silk Dome High-Frequency Driver – Musical, refined treble presentation.
• Neodymium Motor – Compact and powerful for high efficiency.
• Ferrofluid Cooling – Maintains clarity during extended high-output use.
• Low-Diffraction Faceplate – Improves imaging accuracy and stage cohesion.
• ESB Acoustic Tuning – Natural timbre, non-fatiguing listening, studio-grade voicing.
System Integration Notes
• Ideal Pairing: ESB K2, K3, 5000 Series, 8000 Series midrange & midbass drivers.
• Best Use: High-end car audio soundstage, Harley fairings, pillar or dash pods.
• Amp Power Range: 75–150 W RMS recommended for optimal transparency.
• Installation Time: 20–45 minutes depending on surface or flush mount.
Pro Tip:
Aim the tweeter directly toward the listener’s ear path (not straight forward) to maximize imaging precision—especially in motorcycle and near-field seating environments.
