Description
The Markaudio TW-6 tweeter is a precision-engineered metal dome tweeter designed for DIY speaker builders, audio designers, and enthusiasts seeking extended treble response, low distortion, and seamless system integration. With a 25mm aluminum diaphragm, ferrofluid-damped voice coil, and a custom polymer frame, the TW-6 delivers crisp, articulate highs with minimal coloration and excellent control.
Unlike many tweeters that rely on a central phase shield, the TW-6 uses a built-in waveguide contour to shape dispersion—avoiding diffraction artifacts and preserving the dome’s direct radiation. This design aligns with high-end principles, offering clean off-axis response without obstructive structures.
Seamless Integration with Markaudio Full-Range Drivers
The TW-6 tweeter is specifically voiced and engineered to complement Markaudio’s wideband drivers such as the MA200, CHR120, Alpair 12P, and CHN-110. Its dispersion geometry, tonal balance, and crossover flexibility make it an ideal match for 2-way systems built around these units. Key integration benefits include:
- Matched dispersion: The waveguide contour mirrors the off-axis behavior of Markaudio full-range cones, ensuring smooth transitions and coherent imaging.
- Extended bandwidth: With a frequency range from 2.5 kHz to 30 kHz, the TW-6 allows flexible crossover placement above the natural roll-off of wideband drivers.
- Shared design philosophy: Like its full-range counterparts, the TW-6 prioritizes low mechanical noise, natural voicing, and minimal coloration—making it a sympathetic partner in multi-driver builds.
Whether you’re building a high-resolution 2-way monitor or refining a multi-driver system, the TW-6 offers clarity, control, and compatibility in a sleek, recessed-mount package.
