what happens when you use multiple tweeters?

tuckers · 14th November 2009, 08:49 PM

I have a design that is built with a single super tweeter over a full range driver. I like the result, but I don't like how it appears to smear the image and the highs sound vertically higher. I want to try to use four tweeters around the full range driver in order to get more of a point source effect.

What happens when you add tweeters to a design like this?

Will the tweeters output be greater giving greater sensitivity?

Will the frequency plot change? Will it extend the upper and lower range of tweeters?

I know the impedance will change, will the crossover need to be redesigned?
