About the MKII Planar-Magnetic Ribbon Super Tweeter

The Aperion Audio MKII Planar-Magnetic Ribbon Super Tweeter is a high-fidelity audio component designed to augment the high-frequency response of existing speaker systems. It features a planar-magnetic flat ribbon tweeter with a frequency response of 8 kHz to 40 kHz, making it ideal for enhancing the clarity and detail in the upper treble range. The tweeter offers five adjustable crossover points (8 kHz, 10 kHz, 12 kHz, 14 kHz, and 16 kHz) along with an 'off' setting, allowing users to customize the integration with their main speakers. Additionally, it includes a treble adjustment feature with settings from 0 dB to -5 dB in 1 dB increments. The device has a nominal impedance of 6 ohms and a sensitivity of 94 dB, requiring a recommended power of 10 to 100 watts. It is designed to be placed on top of existing speakers, providing a seamless integration without the need for extensive modifications.
