excellent super tweeter
I posted measurements and two speaker projects with these recently
Isn't this kid already better than the Fountek Neo X 2?
I still look towards the Fountek Neo X 2.
And it became very interesting about plasma tweeters. But there is very little information about them on Google. Only articles, but no specific model.

Plasma tweeter is very cool for me. but I myself will definitely not do that. Although the topic is very interesting.
In general, I opted for the Fountek Neo X 2.0 tweeter. I think he should be perfect for me.
Now I have one more question: how to make a second order filter for this tweeter so that the cutoff frequency can be adjusted from 4 kHz to 16 kHz? Do you have any ready-made schematics? I would be very grateful for your help.
I found this interesting supertweeter filter at a Japanese auction. But the price is very inadequate. It seems to me that it is easy to do it yourself. There would be a scheme ...

Thanks for the clarifications. What can you say about this tweeter?
Fountek Neo X 2.0 Ribbon Tweeter Black
I am sure its an excellent ribbon. I use similar, just horn loaded. I believe I used it with aurum cantus midwoofer. Post #27

A filter is just a coil and capacitor. You might like to flatten the impedance to have linear impedance. The filter is a bit trial and error, and you need to be able to measure.
Some help here, but remember text book filters are just examples

That small Foster ribbon at PE for 17 bucks is really good and goes well past 20k.

I am confused by their not high frequency characteristics. These two tweeters are less than 30 kHz at the upper end.
How much higher do you need?
You might also want to get your hearing checked, to see just how high you can hear... I would be surprised if your hearing went much beyond 18khz.
Mine manages 9KHz !
Too many years DJing and playing rock guitar.
I wouldn't waste my time trying to achieve flat response past 20k if you mainly listen to CD quality PCM audio sampled at 44.1k or DVDs at 48k.

Like yourself, I used to spin vinyl in clubs in the 80s and currently play bass, drums and love loud music. I can still hear to 15k and wasn't able to hear past 18k as a teenager. I also was an auto tech, engine builder and wood worker (loud occupations), so I guess genetics play a role here too.

Thanks for the help! It was important to me. I will study your source.
I bought these tweeters after all:
Foster E100T10 Planar Tweeter 8 Ohm
They will come to me at the end of August. 🙂)
I have to ask for your advice again, dear experts. These tweeters have frequencies ranging from 6 kHz to 40 kHz. Does this mean that there is no need to do a crossover for these tweeters?
P.S. By the way, if you want to laugh: I bought 4 of these tweeters by accident. I don’t understand how it happened. 🙂 There was an expensive delivery, almost 80 bucks, and I decided to buy other interesting things, and did not notice how I put 2 more tweeters in the basket. 🙂

The Foster E100T10 tweeters require a crossover of 12dB per octave at 6400 Hz or higher/steeper slope to handle their rated power.I have to ask for your advice again, dear experts.

Without a crossover, low frequency signal would destroy the diaphragm at far less than rated power.

.the dude says how to run it .... he says how to set up a crossover..so noing nothing about his tweeter it sounds.... no potentiometer needed....the most basic is , cap it at .47 done...it won't blow
