What is a Tweeter?
A tweeter is a specific type of loudspeaker designed to produce high-frequency sounds, typically from about 2,000 Hertz (Hz) up to 20,000 Hz, which is the upper limit of human hearing. They are essential components in multi-way speaker systems (like two-way or three-way speakers) where they handle the treble range. Common designs include dome tweeters (often made of silk or metal) and cone tweeters. Their small size and light diaphragm allow them to vibrate rapidly and accurately reproduce the detailed, high-pitched elements of audio, such as cymbals, string harmonics, and vocal sibilance.
Based on the preceding information, you will eventually decide to integrate a tweeter into your speaker enclosure. Here's a look at the process for doing this in Speaker Box Lite.
Integrating of a tweeter into your box
Setting the Tweeter Range
Start by adding a new range to your project. Click the "Add range" button, enter the desired name, and then click "Create." Next, change the speaker type for this new range to "Tweeter." The tweeter is now part of your project, and you can proceed to input its parameters to enable calculation of its behavior (though parameter input is beyond the scope of this article).
Parameters for Rendering
To ensure the speaker is visible in the rendering, you must define its dimensions. Access the Speaker properties screen and enter data such as the overall diameter and cutout diameter. This information should be sourced from the technical specifications or measured directly.
Mounting the Tweeter
The tweeter in Speaker Box Lite is self-enclosed and doesn't require its own box. To mount it, you must first integrate it into the chamber of the main speaker box.
Integrate the Tweeter Enclosure:
- Go to the Structure screen.
- Press and hold the tweeter's box (e.g., the one named "Tweeter").
- After a couple of seconds, drag the tweeter's box into the desired chamber of the main box (e.g., the box named "Default," chamber "Chamber #1").
- Drop the tweeter's box onto this chamber. You will see the tweeter's enclosure move inside the chamber.
Mount the Tweeter on a Face:
- Click the Objects button to open the Objects Inspector.
- Click on the tweeter to select it.
- The 3D editor will enter 'mount mode' and prompt you to mount the Tweeter on any face of the main box.
- Click on the appropriate face to finalize the tweeter mounting.
You are almost finished! After mounting the tweeter, you might need to align it on the baffle (in my situation, I aligned it with the main speaker). To do this, click on the tweeter within the 3D box. Wait a moment until the tweeter changes into a blue disk. Once it's a blue disk, move it to the desired position and then release.
With that, your tweeter is successfully mounted to the box.
Conclusion
In this article, you’ve learned the step-by-step process for successfully mounting a tweeter into your speaker enclosure. This crucial addition can dramatically enhance the clarity and richness of your audio system, ensuring a more vibrant and detailed sound experience. Properly integrating a tweeter is key to achieving optimal high-frequency performance. Should you require precise, pre-designed speaker box plans or a lighter, more cost-effective solution for your project, remember to explore the resources available through the Speaker Box Lite service. This can simplify your build and help you create the perfect custom audio setup.
