Coming from the Grande Utopia Be speaker, the tweeter with pure Beryllium inverted dome has been completely redesigned for the specific automobile environment.

A new optimization of the magnetic motor, after several simulations, measures and listening sessions, has allowed to reduce considerably the overall size of the Neodymium magnet assembly. We now use the most powerful version of this material and the most capable at handling heat without losing its magnetic force.

A tweeter can reach a very high temperature in a short period of time, at which point demagnetization might occur of the standard grade Neodymium magnet. Thanks to the use of a 6 Ohm aluminum former voice coil, as well a powerful motor and the exceptional light weight of the Beryllium dome, this tweeter needs little electrical energy to produce a high sound level, meaning less current is needed and less heat is created. We went clearly as far as possible to stay on the safe side of the overall equation.

That was yet not good enough. Thanks to the right alignment of the tweeter parameters, we have succeeded in getting an ideal, natural acoustical damping, without resorting to the use of Ferrofluid in the gap, thus further reducing distortion and increasing definition. It is the approach you will find throughout the whole Utopia Be line: to find or to invent the right solutions from the start, and consequently to avoid the recourse to technical tricks and fixes, which only result in poorer sound quality. The lack of phase plug on the tweeter is a clear example of our thought process: we managed, by careful and extensive research to come with up with the right combination of dome profile and suspension design to produce a very linear response curve and a very harmonious distribution pattern, thus eliminating the phase plug traditionally used in hard dome tweeters, and its detrimental effects.

The pursuit of perfection doesn’t sit well with compromise.
