Further Information

Maximum Supertweeters are a great addition to your full range speakers for extra details and clarity.

 

Maximum Super Tweeters are created to reproduce high and very high frequencies to, says the company, enrich the sound from your hi-fi. Paul Rigby gives them a whirl and wonders if they really can occupy sonic territory that dome tweeters fear to tread

The Maximum Super Tweeter can be added to any speaker set-up and promises to push that speaker’s frequency response to a heady 90kHz. “But!” you cry, “We can’t hear that far so why bother?” Company boss, Max Townshend said that, “…the presence of these frequencies creates a sense of naturalness and reveals detail right down into the bass.”

 

I’m sympathetic about this sort of thing. There is a lot of research out there which says says that a Super Tweeter should be a ‘good thing’. In fact, there’s a whole heap of research out there in terms of investigating human hearing above accepted levels. Some of it states that we, as humans, do indeed have an ultrasonic perception (possibly as a legacy of our evolutionary developent) and that it does make a difference to our listening enjoyment. Witness the papers via M. L. Lenhardt et al (1991), Human Ultrasonic Speech Perception, Science, vol 253, p82, July 1991 and T. Oohashi et al (1991), High-Frequency Sound Above the Audible Range Affects Brain Electric Activity and Sound. There’s also the There’s Life Above 20 Kilohertz! Caltech paper from James Boyk.

In the same way that a sub-woofer extends the low end of your system, Maximum Supertweeters reveal a wealth of detail in the midband and treble. Most striking tough, is the amazing improvement in bass detail.

Maximum Supertweeters reproduce high and very high frequencies in the most coherent and realistic fashion, delivering a rich harmonic structure that dome tweeters simply cannot match.

Coherent high frequencies affect the brain both physiologically and psychologically,revealing the full potential of your favourite recordings.

Maximum Supertweeters enhance and define bass, mid and treble. They are the key to high resolution.

 

Maximum Supertweeters heighten the sense of realism in music by extending the frequency response of conventional hi-fi speakers up to 90kHz. Although this is way above the theoretical limit of human hearing the presence of these frequencies creates a sense of naturalness and reveals detail right down into the bass.

Maximum Supertweeters allow you to get utmost pleasure from both digital and analogue formats by accurately revealing high frequency detail above 6kHz. Even though a CD cannot produce information above 20kHz Maximum Supertweeters make the format sound more natural and reveal a wealth of extra detail when compared with dome tweeters. This is because of the much faster response of the ultra-light ribbon diaphragm when compared with the much slower response of a relatively heavy dome assembly.

The Maximum Supertweeter works from 6kHz upwards making it better able to produce the leading edge of each transient without time smear. That’s why it makes a system sound more relaxed and natural, as it can respond to the signal with greater speed and greater accuracy.

What surprises people the most is the extra detail that they hear in the bass. You might expect the greater sense of ease and openness which they introduce but the harmonic detail that is revealed across the entire audio band is nothing short of miraculous.

The Maximum Supertweeter is engineered to integrate with all high quality speakers with simple connection utilising the 1.5m link cables provided. The Supertweeters are wired in parallel with the main amplifier feed or the tweeter connection at the main speaker. There is a six position level switch which allows for seamless integration with your speakers.

Testimonials

It's not often that I write reviews, let alone for HiFi equipment where I have limited technical knowledge.  However, what I do have is decades of experience of listening to recorded music.  I must at once declare my allegiance to the Townshend brand.  I use Glastonbury 2 loudspeakers, which I love to bits and have never been tempted to change, Isolda speaker cables and DCT 300 interconnect.  It's all used with a Copland amplifier and cd player of good quality. I had decided that a pair ofSupertweeters was going to be my next upgrade having read as much as I could on the subject generally, some of it very negative.  When the Townshend Supertweeters arrived I set them up, very simply done, and just sat down to listen.  Perhaps I may have had some idea of how they might improve things but even the most positive reviews did not prepare me for the revelatory difference they made.  Literally from the moment the music started I was gripped and then astonished.  I am not easily taken aback but there was such a transformation that my jaw dropped and at times there was such an emotional connection to the music that I had tears in my eyes.  I don't exaggerate this. I read one review of super tweeters which suggested that it was like having a new amplifier.  I think it's more than that because my whole system has been transformed.  How can a high frequency unit clarify the timbre and body of lower strings playing solo?  Well they do and much more besides.  I could write pages about the improvements across the audio spectrum including soundstaging, depth, ambience and dynamics.  All anyone needs to know is the bottom line.  They make recorded music sound more like real music and in the process pack quite an emotional wallop.  Anyone with doubts needs to forget all the debate and just listen.

I have a fairly " high end" vinyl based system comprising Brinkmann la grange turntable with its10.5 inch arm and a Koetsu Jade cartridge, Allnic H 3000 phono stage, Canary 903 pre amp, Radford STA 25 power amp, Quad ESL 57 ( One Thing Audio ) and Audiophysica Luna subwoofers. The effect of the supertweeter was obvious from the outset , being a cleaner sound with more "air" in the soundstage - which is impressive as the system already majored on that. To begin with I had the Supertweeters on level 3 ( based on an online review I read). After a while I tried it on level 2 which had an interesting effect in that the sound stage became notably more layered and textural - which is exactly what I aim for. Last night I listened to a track I have owned for 20 years in which the vocals have always sounded a bit edgy - despite huge upgrades and  substantial financial outlay. For the first time the vocals were sweet and I may as well have been listening to a different track . I would say that the addition of the supertweeter has made a serious Improvement to an already pretty good sound in my system and I would certainly recommend it to anybody seeking a serious  sound upgrade.

I must say that they are all what everybody has said about them, they sound wonderful, I own Quad 989=92s and they truly do improve not only the top end but the whole sound, from the bass up!

John, Australia

Every speaker should have these! Stunning in every way.

Marco, Italy.

I would just like to say again now that I have had the supertweeters for a few weeks, that the sound improvement in my Quad 989’s is superb, a great combination!

I have had just decent quality speaker leads to the Quads and have been waiting for the right opportunity to try something better, so when I tried  your cables that come with the tweeters, first with them directly connected back to the amplifier (instead of piggy back from the spkrs) and was astounded at the improvements, making the tweeters even more fantastic, it also told me that my spkr leads must have been very average, so I moved the spkrs closer together so that I could hear them connected with your tweeters cables and was duly blown away by an incredible improvement, they were now the most transparent, detailed, natural, open, balanced, uncoloured sound I have ever heard come from them, and this without your tweeters helping them for the moment!

I have a pair of (much improved) ESL-63 Quads, and recently got a pair of your new ribbon tweeters, after hearing them on a few horn systems over friends houses during the recent Colorado Audio Fest.

My initial impression of your speakers on the Quads was not favourable.  No matter what I did, my speakers simply sounded more natural without your tweeters.  However, the other day, I went back and re-read the instructions, with particular emphasis on the issue of speaker phasing.  Much to my surprise, and delight, reversing the leads from the tweeters into the Quads (positive of tweeter connected to negative of Quad etc.) did the trick.  Apparently, when connected in normal fashion the tweeters were out of phase with the Quads.  I am now enjoying the added magic of your speakers which I would enthusiastically endorse with ESL-63 WHEN connected as noted.  I sent this so that you could alert other Quad lovers.  

Barry, USA.

I have a pair of your Super Tweeter in Titanium finish and have to say they are fantastic.

Julie, UK.

I recently purchased a pair of supertweeters from SMC (after gentle persuasion for them to get a pair in on trial), the results are amazing, as other people have discovered, you don't really know how they work, but the effects are instant. Even on setting 1 the soundstage opens out, quite how the low frequencies improve I can`t work out but they just do! After many years of Hi-Fi "tweaking" this required very little effort and time in setting up, anyone who thinks that is a lot to spend on supertweeters alone think again, I use PMC OB1 speakers with a Rel sub, the addition of super tweeters means I have a A34500. speaker package, everyone who has heard them has said the sound is an improvement over many speakers which cost 2-3 times that amount. Thank you for a wonderful product, I can heartily recommend them to anyone who loves music,even if they think their systems perfect!

What your tweeters do to the Quads is simply black magic!

Despite the improvements, it is arguable that the Quad ESL-57s needed the services of a pair of Super Tweeters less than most conventionally designed speakers (despite the fact that I could hear sonic improvements with the 57s) so I switched to a pair of Acoustic Energy Radiance One speakers and placed the Super Tweeters on top of each, quickly followed by a pair of Spendor S3/5R2 speakers: both are stand-mounters.

The result? Read the results for the Quad 57s above and multiply the positive effects by a factor of 10. The boxed speaker design is where the Super Tweeter really comes their own. Where the Tweeters improved the sonics of a pair of 57s, they truly transformed the sound quality of a pair of boxed speakers offering a performance that was more involving and cohesive in terms of the arrangement across the soundstage. For both the Ella vocal jazz track and the prog rock from Camel, the presentation was incredibly complex and far richer in terms of maturity and the expansive nature of the upper frequencies but also the added layers in this area that gave the entire presentation a sense of richness and involvement.

The brass section of the orchestra on the Ella Fitzgerald track was warmingly abundant and complex with stunning playback of secondary percussion from the xylophone and castanets that give the music a crisp snap that added pace and drive to the music. Meanwhile, the cymbal work on the Camel track was airy and open, giving the treble and upper midrange a new dynamic reach. Much of the synth work too was also more noticeable and intricate in terms of the noticeable detail.

CONCLUSION

No matter what type of speaker you currently run and no matter what the price too (these Super Tweeters are not just for your expensive models, they can be very successfully utilised for sub-£1,000 models), a pair of Super Tweeters should be demoed as a valid and solid upgrade. Electrostatic designs love them but boxed speakers, especially, benefit from added finesse in terms of detail retrieval and transparency that can often transform a track, adding new levels of dimensionality.

 

 

Once I had found my setting, I sat back for a serious listen. What the Super Tweeters offered was an enhancement within the upper frequencies. This enhancement was present in the most obvious of areas, the cymbal work which was certainly more present in the arrangement than before, offering a crisp and brassy effect with every strike. There was more than that, though. It also affected slightly surprising areas such as the vocal harmonies, specifically the counterpoint harmony on the lead vocal. Here, I could clearly hear a vibration effect on this quiet counterpoint which not only enriched the vocal itself but, to be honest, improved the somewhat dour early presentation of the vocal. Now, that vocal had more presence and vitality.

Initially, I turned to a favourite testing track from the prog outfit, Camel. Song Within a Song has the dynamic energy of a rock track, yes, but it also features plenty of charismatic analogue synth work – especially in the mid section – while there is a series of strong percussive elements including a series of delicate cymbal rhythms throughout. Hence, there is a real blend for any hi-fi component to work on.

To begin, I reached behind for that control level and set the Super Tweeters on ‘6’, the maximum figure, just to see what happened. As you might expect, the upper mids hardened, producing a forward and strident sound that was rather unpleasant. Hence, I backed off steadily until I found that happy medium for my system. Despite the suggested advice of ‘4’ as a starter setting, from the company, I danced between ‘2’ and ‘3’ and eventually settled upon ‘3’ as ideal for my system and my room. You might find that another setting better suites your hi-fi chain. That’s the benefit of the setting knob, though, it allows you to shape the Super Tweeter sound to best fit your own system.

You will find a lot of cryogenically treated copper inside the chassis and within the 1.5m Litz cables supplied with it. You’ll also find 4mm banana plugs at one end and piggy back-type bananas at the other. That is, you plug your Super Tweeter into your speakers and then you plug you speaker cables into the rear of the Super Tweeter plugs. Ingenious.

SOUND QUALITY

To begin the sound tests I attached the Super Tweeters to the top of my Quad 57s using a supplied pair of metal holders that allowed the Tweeters to rest on the top of each frame, placed centrally.

This would be a tough task for the Super Tweeters. Strike that. There is no tougher task. Why? Because my Quads have been upgraded with far superior panels from One Thing Audio. They offer all of the music from the original design but can be pushed harder without blowing up and give the Quads a wholly new musical direction. Before I used the Townshend Tweeters, I was of the opinion that these Quads didn’t really need Super Tweeters. That was the difficult task facing these

The results of that research (and a whole lot of extra material pertaining to this and other, associated research) are way too extensive and detailed to be printed here but those who have a yen for this sort of thing can talk directly to Townshend Audio. I’m sure, if you ask very nicely and say please a lot they can whisk over the relevant detail.

More than the human hearing research, there is also the mechanical element as Max Townshend explained, taking a humble CD as an example, “Even though a CD cannot produce information above 20kHz, Maximum Supertweeters make the format sound more natural and reveal a wealth of extra detail when compared with dome tweeters. This is because of the much faster response of the ultra-light ribbon diaphragm when compared with the much slower response of a relatively heavy dome assembly.”

So, there’s a lot going on here. As can you surmise.

Offering a lack of coloration and rather impressive lateral dispersion, ribbon drivers are perfect for high-frequencies. Physically, the Maximum Super Tweeter sits in a vented (To maintain a constant pressure? Surely the vent has noting to do with temperature?), polished stainless-steel case with the corrugated ribbon sitting behind a metal grille along with damped magnets and a seated transformer.

Around the rear is a level control that provides a choice of seven different electrical sensitivities, from 74db to 89db.


I have had just decent quality speaker leads to the Quads and have been waiting for the right opportunity to try something better, so when I tried  your cables that come with the tweeters, first with them directly connected back to the amplifier (instead of piggy back from the spkrs) and was astounded at the improvements, making the tweeters even more fantastic, it also told me that my spkr leads must have been very average, so I moved the spkrs closer together so that I could hear them connected with your tweeters cables and was duly blown away by an incredible improvement, they were now the most transparent, detailed, natural, open, balanced, uncoloured sound I have ever heard come from them, and this without your tweeters helping them for the moment!

Will these super tweeters work with  full range drivers that are 97db ?

Or will the drivers just drown them out as the super tweeters only go to 89db ?
