The Townshend Audio MAXIMUM Ribbon Supertweeter is designed to extend the response of conventional Hi-
Fi loudspeakers to 100kHz. Adding the Super Tweeter to your audio system allows you to experience the
advantage of the extended frequency response delivered by the new digital audio formats (DVD-A, DVD-V
containing 96/24 stereo PCM audio, and SACD) and to fully utilize the 30kHz plus frequency response
previously only available from high-quality vinyl reproduction. Another bonus is that CD and Nicam stereo,
together with Dolby Digital and DTS compressed digital audio formats, are also greatly enhanced. Just as the
sub woofer fills in the bottom end, the Maximum Supertweeter fills in the top end. It makes the music much
more real! All Instruments - even double basses - take on an extra clarity that is neither bright nor brash. In fact
the sound is both clearer and smoother. The really surprising thing is that when the tweeters are played alone,
one can barely, if at all, hear a thing. Remarkably, however, all listeners – even, those having no sine wave
sensitivity above 10kHz - experience the same enhancement when the Supertweeters are engaged, describing
the sound of their hi-fi systems as ‘more natural’ and comfortable to listen to.
Embodying super-powerful neodymium magnets and an ultra thin eight micron pure aluminium ribbon, the
Maximum Supertweeter offers outstanding performance in an easy to drive, compact package. The low
frequency -3dB point of the first order crossover is set at 20Khz. Output may be set to suit speakers with
sensitivities ranging from 80dB to 110dB, adjusted in steps by an eight position switch on the rear. The correct
setting is easily found by trial and error. Input connectors are 4mm banana sockets. All copper conductors,
including the matching transformer windings and the aluminium ribbon, are deep cryogenically treated (EDCT)
for unrivalled fidelity. Pressure relief vents in the sides of the case are provided to allow the air pressure on the
ribbon to equalize in the event of sudden pressure changes. The Maximum Supertweeter may be connected
directly across the output of amplifiers up to 350W. An automatically resetting fuse prevents ribbon damage in
the event of overload. The supertweeters are best placed centrally on top of existing speakers. The (supplied)
1.5m EDCT enamelled copper wire insulated Litz cables are connected to the main speakers’ tweeter terminals
or directly across the power amplifier. Spade or “piggy back” banana connectors are provided to facilitate
connection. Please specify.
The Maximum Supertweeter is the only one on the market that comes with the cables; in fact, the Maximums
are supplied with Isolda impedance matched, EDCT stranded Litz wire, for the ultimate fidelity. The leads are
terminated with gold plated piggy-back banana plugs so that it is simple to connect the supertweeter cables to
the main/tweeter terminals of your loudspeaker. Spade connections or bare wires may be substituted if needed.
