Frequently Asked Questions
What is a "Textile Dome" tweeter?
The Micra 6’s textile tweeter is based on the award winning Teteron tweeter in the Audition and SCT lines, and it’s what allows athena TECHNOLOGIES® products to sound as great, play as loud and be as efficient as they are. The tweeter is arguably the most important element of a high performance speaker. Inefficient, or technologically inferior tweeters often force manufacturers to produce speakers that could be better if only the tweeter could keep up with the woofers' capabilities. The athena TECHNOLOGIES® tweeter designs produce loud, clear and accurate highs that are dispersed from the unique faceplate in a very wide window. The wider the window of sound, the easier and more flexible your speaker placement is. There are huge acoustic benefits as well, with massive improvements to stereo imaging, and just plain better sound! The Micra’s textile dome tweeter is a durable synthetic material in a dome shape, specially contoured to reduce distortion, and to fit into the custom designed bezel, which amplifies and controls the tweeters dispersion. The unique cone material is impervious to moisture, so it is durable and won't change over time. It also has huge sonic benefits over metal type tweeters, which have inherent ringing problems, and much work needs to be done by the speaker designer to overcome the tweeters' characteristics.
