Dayton Audio's AMT Mini-8 Air Motion Transformer tweeter adds clarity, transient speed, and musical finesse to almost any loudspeaker design. The AMT Mini-8's compact housing is easy to mount anywhere, and groundbreaking AMT technology enables high output from this tiny driver.
Key Features
• Advanced Air Motion Transformer design squeezes air
• Folded Kapton ribbon diaphragm delivers clean, detailed, and highly dynamic output
• Miniature design can be mounted virtually anywhere
• Powerful, lightweight neodymium magnet structure for low distortion and high efficiency
• Sonically similar to the best metal ribbon and planar tweeters
• Includes free 2.25" diameter faceplate for front mounting
The Dayton Audio AMT Mini-8 model features a round housing and compact AMT element, for wide dispersion that easily replaces dome tweeters in retrofit or new design applications. The AMT Mini-8 is small enough to be used in compact satellite speakers, or installed in the center of a mid-woofer to create a full-bandwidth coaxial driver, or implemented in other ways -- including line arrays. The sealed rear chamber design of the AMT Mini-8 eliminates the need for a separate internal chamber in the loudspeaker enclosure.
Dayton Audio AMT (Air Motion Transformer) tweeters use groundbreaking transducer technology from the original Heil Air Motion Transformer to provide ultra-clean, detailed, and dynamic treble output. The pleated ribbon diaphragm of an AMT provides a large acoustic radiating area condensed into a compact chassis, for extremely high output and improved power handling.
Note: This tweeter was designed for press-fit mounting, but now includes a 2.25" diameter faceplate for front baffle mounting.
