A ribbon tweeter is different from conventional dome tweeters in a way that its diaphragm also acts as a coil-less current pass. This unique structure leads to many advantages despite of its relatively higher cost, including:

1. lower mass, hence higher efficiency/frequency and better transient response.

2. better heat dissipation, hence better reliability and less thermal compression.

3. lower inductance, hence flatter impedance and frequency response.

4. homogeneous diaphragm movement, hence low distortion.

The aluminum ribbon on a G2 tweeter is 8.5mm wide and only 0.01mm thick. It is handcrafted with honeycomb micro-structures and formed into a wave-shape to achieve the best rigidity. The use of expensive N40 Ru-Fe magnet ensures a uniform and high flux density (6000Guass) magnetic field. The result is a world-leading tweeter with frequency extension up to 100kHz (40kHz, -3dB), 96dB/W/M sensitivity, and a harmonic distortion less than 1%.

All the above merits bring along the ultimate musicality, superior clarity, and never-heard-before details.
