Performance Characteristics
• Large 28 mm dome provides warm, textured, and lifelike upper-frequency presence.
• Neodymium motor delivers fast transient response and dynamic clarity.
• Square faceplate improves mounting alignment and minimizes acoustic edge diffraction.
• Voiced for extended listening without harshness or listener fatigue.
Key Features
• 28 mm Hand-Coated Silk Dome – Smooth, natural high-frequency performance.
• Neodymium Magnet System – Powerful, compact, highly efficient motor.
• Low-Diffraction Square Faceplate – Enhances image focus and staging.
• Ferrofluid Cooling – Maintains stability under sustained volume.
• ESB Signature Voicing – Realistic tone, high detail, relaxed top-end decay.
Integration Notes
• Ideal Pairing: ESB K2, K3, 5000, and 8000 Series midrange/midbass drivers.
• Best Use: High-end car audio, Harley fairing stage imaging upgrades, A-pillar installs, and custom pods.
• Recommended Amp Power: 75–150 W RMS for maximum clarity and control.
• Installation Time: ~20–45 minutes depending on mounting surface and angle.
Pro Tip:
Angle the tweeter toward the rider or driver’s ear line—not straight outward—to open the soundstage and tighten vocal imaging, especially in motorcycle fairings or near-field installs.
