Bring the Performance Into the Room

As frequency increases, every loudspeaker becomes more directional. While most tweeters can reproduce the highest audible frequencies, they do so in an increasingly narrow beam, reducing the total amount of high-frequency energy reaching the listening room.

These high-frequency reflections contribute important spatial cues that help us perceive the position and presence of voices and instruments. When dispersion narrows, recordings can sound more confined to the loudspeakers themselves.

The AudioSmile Supertweeter MK3 has been designed to supplement this normal narrowing of dispersion. Using dual magnetic-planar ribbon drivers arranged at 90 degrees, the MK3 delivers wide, low-distortion high-frequency dispersion, helping to create a more open, spacious and immersive presentation.

Vocals and instruments become more tangible, the soundstage extends beyond the loudspeakers, and recordings take on a greater sense of presence in the room.

Speaker Integration

Every loudspeaker and listening room is different, so the MK3 has been designed for exceptional flexibility.

A six-position control allows output level adjustment, while three selectable filter frequencies of 14kHz, 16kHz and 18kHz enable seamless integration with a wide variety of loudspeakers, from timeless classics to modern high-performance designs.

The unique enclosure design allows the ribbons to face upward, forward or at an angle, providing further control over dispersion and room interaction.

Dual-Ribbon Design

At the heart of the MK3 are two ultra-light magnetic-planar ribbons suspended within a powerful push-pull neodymium magnet system.

Mounted at 90 degrees to one another, the ribbons broaden high-frequency dispersion without excessively affecting the direct on-axis balance of the existing tweeter. Rather than simply adding treble, the MK3 is designed to distribute high-frequency energy more evenly throughout the listening environment, enhancing the spatial cues that bring performers into the room with you.

Hand Built in England

Every AudioSmile Supertweeter MK3 is handcrafted and tested to order by Simon Ashton. From cutting and finishing the enclosure components to crossover soldering and final inspection, every stage of production is carried out with the care of the designer.

The enclosure combines frosted black acrylic with solid hardwood end pieces and discreet recessed 2mm micro banana connections. Custom-length connection cables are supplied as standard.
