A tweeter is a small, directional antenna used to receive and propagate sound. Tweeter units are typically mounted on a speaker and then they transmit the sound to your audience.
Using a tweeter in your audio system allows you to create a better listening experience by adding a soundtrack or hearing an additional dimension to your music. Your audience will be able to enjoy more of the music content and extra dimension it offers.
The process of using a tweeter in your audio system is called tweetering. Once you learn how to do it, you will be unstoppable! There are many different types of tweeters available, so it is not just about buying one made for home use.
This article will discuss some of the different types of tweeters and give some tips on how to use them in our audio systems.

Tyll Hertsens
The Tyll is one of the most famous tweeters of all time. It is widely considered to be the best home theater loudspeaker available today.
It was designed by a renowned audio designer, created by a designer, and released around the same time as movie theaters began showing home entertainment systems. It was originally marketed as an interiorating system for your room to add some ambiance.
It has since been used in countless ways, from film festivals to streaming services. It is currently used in TV shows and movies due to its height compared to other speakers.
Brian Kahn
The world-famous Brian Kahn tweeter is back with a vengeance! This loudspeaker is an updated, improved version of the classic tweeter.
The new tweeter has larger diaphragm speakers that are more efficient and longer lasting. These new tweeters are faster and more efficient than previous versions.
This loudspeaker is designed for home audio, so it is intended to be mounted on a ceiling or another large surface. It must be used in conjunction with a stand or placed on its own Flexi-Stand.
This speaker does not work well in small spaces or places whereinafered clearance must be maintained.
Sam Smiles
The Sam Smile is a cool, unobtrusive way to dim the light in your room. You can also change the brightness by rotating the ceiling light bulb. Both motions are done via a strip of metal located on the top of the light.
This light bulb is called a tweeter and it creates a soft, dim sound that gets your room or space feeling more cozy. These bulbs are not for every room, but if you have a larger wall unit, then you could make this work.
These bulbs are usually around $5-$7 per set, which is comparable to other low power twitterers. They usually last about 5-6 months before needing to be replaced due to use.
Dave Lewis
The legendary Dave Lewis manufactures many tweeters, including the famous Taft line. While many brand these classic speakers as luxury purchases, they are very affordable options for home audio.
The quality of these speakers is remarkable. They are thick and heavy, making them feel substantial in your hands. They also have very large voice coils which seemingly take up a lot of space in your house.
These features make them look expensive but it is always best to pay attention to your personal budget. A good starting point is buying one for $80-$100; after that you can buy more expensive ones if you want more quality or want more sound reinforcement.
These speakers can be used in a variety of ways. You can build a home theater with only two speakers, or you can use one as a surround speaker! There are many ways to use them.
Chris Martins
Chris Martins is one of the biggest names in tweetable speakers. He has multiple lines of speakers, all built with same mission to provide a large, loud speaker that you can use anywhere.
His Line X is a small, compact tower speaker that can be used in any room. It features 100% gloss piano black finish, 10-wattatts Valora amplifier, and maximum 30-feet long cable.
It is also foldable which makes it easy to store. Furthermore, it has unique architecture that allows it to be very spacious or narrow based on your needs.
Line X is not for tiny rooms or tiny people because it is bulky and heavy.
Geoff Morrison
Geoff Morrison is a well-known audio expert. He’s the creator of The Theory and Practice of Podcasts and The Surreality Tour, two popular podcasting programs.
He’s also an accomplished sound designer and author, having written The Sound Design Bible and The Surreality Tour Book of Sounds.
His works inspired me to write this article, so I had to include him. His tweets are full of interesting information about audio, sound design, and how you can use sound to enhance your content.
His favorite tweeters are N4 models due to their size and comfort. These tweeters are about the same width as a pencil thin line so you barely notice it is there. You can get these at local radio stations or online at expectancyaudio.com.
Jack Roberts
The most recognizable feature on all Jack William units is their large, round handle. This handle allows you to easily adjust the unit’s angle in order to place your head for audio positioning.
The smaller diameter of the handle allows you to place it into a bookshelf or speaker stand for easily positioned speakers. The larger diameter also allows you to place it onto a table in order to place your audio on an audible waveform such as a music stream.
This feature makes this unit very versatile as it can be placed in many positions, and used in many ways. It is also cheap and easy to change bulbs and outs with out removing the unit from the bulb or taking off the cover.
To get the best results from your audio, you must work with both of these features.
Max Mokeevsky
The Max is a unique product that does not exist in any category. It is a tweeter that mounts behind a headband to become a full-range speaker. This makes it look like a microphone mountable speaker!
Its versatility is what makes it such a great looking Twitterer. You can purchase it in either white or black and feature either tweets or music at the same time.
We recommend using the black one for better contrast and coloration of the sound. The white one can be useful if you want to blend in with your home decorating style. Either way, they are perfect for giving you some much needed customization of your audio setup.
The Max is not an inexpensive piece of technology, but it is worth it in our eyes.
