About the Maximum Supertweeters

The Townshend Audio Maximum Supertweeters are compact, high-performance ribbon supertweeters designed to extend the frequency response of audio systems from approximately 6 kHz up to 90 kHz. They feature a pure aluminium ribbon driver with ultra-powerful rare earth neodymium magnets, housed in a small metal case available in chrome, black, or titanium matte finishes. The supertweeters include a six-position sensitivity level switch (74dB to 89dB) for seamless integration with various speakers, and are suitable for amplifiers up to 350-400 watts. Their frequency response is calibrated to work within ±3dB from 20 to 70 kHz and ±6dB from 14 to 90 kHz, delivering enhanced air, depth, and detail, as well as improved bass harmonic detail and spatial imaging. The units come with deep cryogenically treated cables with banana or spade connectors and weigh approximately 0.5 kg each. They are praised for adding a sense of space and realism to the soundstage and are compatible with a wide range of high-quality speakers, including electrostatics.
