ScanSpeak D2904/7100-03 Revelator Tweeter

The Revelator series has for years been celebrated for producing the best sounding electro dynamic transducers in the world. Since Scan-Speak was founded in 1970, the audio engineers and R&D experts working on the line have been on a quest to create drivers that reveal all the sound in recordings, hiding nothing from the listener. This quest has resulted in several revolutionary inventions that remove distortion in the magnet systems and in the moving parts of the speaker. The philosophy is that the sound has to be very dynamic, giving a perfect transient response and providing tonal balance.

In the Revelator tweeters, additional enhancements have been made to reduce distortion and power compression, and to optimize airflow in the chambers, producing several unique tweeter designs.

Driver Highlights: 1" soft dome, SD-2 neodymium motor, non resonant aluminium chamber, multiple chamber low compression design, machined aluminium faceplate.

The Scan-speak D2904/7100 tweeter is a 1" soft dome with wide surround, using the same chambering as the Ring Radiator.

The carefully designed dome and surround result in a linear response and an exceptionally good off axis response. Note the smooth roll off on the low end, making this tweeter a good choice for simple slopes A specially designed venting system uses a needle to cut down on turbulence in the air cavity. Better dynamics are achieved by not using ferrofluid, voice coil cooling is performed by the venting system and conduction through copper rings. The new SD-2 neodymium magnet system improves transient response.
