:..Metal ng Free-Edge
" IWeeter ' '

The diaphragm of the STE 1200 tweeter
forms a ring which is indented 111 av v

' shape with edges on both sides.

These edges have long slits in them to

Create an effect similar to having 4

supporting points around both the
inner and outer edges This design
cuts diaphragm weight and minimizes
the distance between the edge and

. the driving point of the voice coil.

thereby ensuring plenty of piston
action without partial vibration. The
free-edge structure raises amplitude
linearity while lowering the resonance

frequency and ensuring smooth
takeover from the midrange.

Phase control for Coherent
4 Sound '

In order to eliminate phase
differences between the different
frequency ranges and ensure smooth
phase characteristics, the STE 1200
incorporates a phase- adjustment
circuit in its crossover network and

also cutsoff speakerreproduction g . a

at the" steep slopeof WZOdB/OCT.»

I outside its specified frequency range.
Each speaker unit also employs

a 3- dimensional layout for general . _g
phase control, thereby lowering time-
lapse distortion between frequency

ranges. The result Of this 3-way
' li-gg~C31hpaign agamSt phase distortion is
' the clear, natural audio reproduction I

we call coherent sound?
