Product Description

What is a Ribbon Transducer?
Fundamental physics support the ribbon as an ideal type of transducer. A thin, light metal ribbon is suspended in a powerful magnetic field. The signal current passes directly through this ribbon effecting the field thus the electromagnetic circuit has complete control over ribbons motion. The ribbon itself projects the sound faithfully and instantaneously. Every part of the ribbon is driven directly and simultaneously without any energy storage or mechanical restriction or material influences, so the output sound will always perfectly replicate the input signal. With maximum speed of transient response, start and stop is instantaneous. This maintains the leading edge of musical sounds and their harmonics. Extremely low intermodulation and harmonic distortion due to low mass. Capable of the highest efficiency known in direct radiator transducers. Extremely wide, flat frequency response (1KHz through to 100KHz.) A flat impedance in usable frequency range for easy to design X-over CCTs. For the purists who want a genuine 9μM ribbon we stock the original JP3.0 The Neo Series uses new technology with its 20μM Enforced Sandwich Ribbon. with extra strength & reliability, no oxidisation, & controlled dampening.

HAND MADE PRECISION
The New NeoPro5i has a hand wound impedance matching transformer so you are assured of the absolute maximum performance available from this unique professional audiophile tweeter assembly.

SOLD IN MATCHED PAIRS
To achieve the best premium performance for your project, Fountek have achieved an advance quality control system where each and every tweeter is checked for performance specifications are optimal and that packaged pairs are identical to each other for the best stereo imaging performance. No other Ribbon tweeter manufacturer offers this kind of specific service.

JP3.0 or the new Neo Series?
For the purists who want a genuine 9µM ribbon we continue to stock the original JP3.0 as this tweeter continues to out perform a majority of units that cost multiples more. Many projects use this popular tweeter so information on application is abundant. See our Reviews page for some project samples.
The New Neo Series builds on the popular JP3.0 with advances using new patented technology in its 20µM Enforced Sandwich Ribbon. This all new True Ribbon is made from a composite alloy sandwiched between a patented polycarbonate coating.
This is NEW to Ribbon Transducers, taking last centuries best driver to the next level with extra strength & reliability and no oxidisation for extra long life service. This technology also improves the already incredible Impulse response even further with controlled dampening. These improvements push the Fountek Ribbon Tweeter range into the stratosphere! No other high range transducer comes close.

Summary
The ribbon tweeter is superior to other transducers because all design factors are satisfied correctly for optimised & effective work. Other high range extenders do not blend easily when added to loudspeaker systems because they add their own distortion by transient smearing, delayed energy and non-linear response. The quality of materials used in ribbon speakers has the ability to “clean up” and “open up” not only the extreme highs, but also the middle tones without adding any distortion. The addition of a pair of ribbon tweeters to any quality speaker system is the most cost effective way to improve the performance of an audiophile loudspeaker system to meet the demands of today’s highly accurate media.

WARNING! The aluminium element is very thin and thus quite vulnerable. To avoid damage, great care is advised and proper installation essential. Do NOT connect any DC source, a battery or a multimeter to the tweeter. Amplifiers have a DC offset that can damage, particularly at switch-on. So if you are using a pre-amp type crossover, DO NOT directly connect tweeter to an amplifier with out a DC blocking capacitor or LP crossover.
