The Maximum Super Tweeter by Townshend Audio features an ultra-light pure aluminum ribbon diaphragm that responds much faster than traditional dome tweeters, delivering precise transient response and eliminating time smear for a relaxed, natural soundstage. It operates in the ultra-high-frequency range starting around 6 kHz and extending up to 90 kHz, well beyond typical speaker tweeter crossovers, and includes a built-in high-pass filter so no external crossover is needed. The unit has a six-position sensitivity switch (74–89 dB) to match speaker efficiency and ensure seamless integration. It comes in a polished stainless steel case with powerful rare earth neodymium magnets and cryogenically treated internal wiring. The supertweeter connects in parallel to speaker binding posts using supplied 1.5m cables with banana or spade connectors. Users report improved clarity, soundstage width and depth, and a more natural sound even though frequencies above 20 kHz are inaudible, due to the enhanced transient response of the ribbon driver. The Maximum Super Tweeter is rated for up to 400 watts unclipped music power and has a nominal impedance of 11 ohms rising to 20 ohms at high frequencies. Dimensions are approximately 50mm wide, 30mm high, and 100mm deep, weighing 0.5 kg each. It is compatible with both digital and analog systems and is praised for its ability to reveal subtle high-frequency details and improve overall system transparency.
