0.75-inch (19 mm) Silk Dome Component Tweeter
The silk dome tweeter is prized by audiophiles for delivering realistic, non-fatiguing, high-frequency performance.
C5 component tweeters are built with 0.75-inch silk dome diaphragms that deliver smooth, extended response, on and off axis. Flush-mounting and surface-mounting fixtures are included to fit a wide variety of installation needs. The flush-mount fixtures feature our RSR (Ratcheting Swivel Rotation) mechanism to allow precise tweeter aiming after installation.
Passive crossover networks are not included with C5 component drivers, as they are designed for active systems. Instead, we recommend a high-quality tuning DSP, such as the JL Audio TwK® 88 or D8, and a dedicated amplifier channel for each C5 loudspeaker in the system. Precise setup of equalization, delay and crossover filters will ensure optimal in-vehicle performance.
Design Bandwidth:
With 48 dB/octave filters: 4,000 Hz - 25,000 Hz
With 24 dB/octave filters: 5,000 Hz - 25,000 Hz
With 12 dB/octave filters: 6,000 Hz - 25,000 Hz
Sonic character: Smooth and balanced

Silk Dome Tweeter
Summary:
Light, fast moving silk dome material promotes high-frequency accuracy.
Detailed Information:
Silk is a natural material with inherently good characteristics as a tweeter diaphragm. In addition to being very light in weight, silk exhibits excellent damping properties, which reduces ringing and resonances in the tweeter’s passband, leading to a smooth, pleasing high-frequency character free from unnatural sibilance or exaggerated brightness. Compared to a harder material dome, a silk tweeter does not exhibit as much ultra-high frequency extension, but is preferred by many audiophiles for its overall balance.
