The result is astounding naturalness and precision. The measurements show smooth extension and glitch-free roll-off. The soft dome Euro tweeter has the classic dome shape and an ultra smooth response shape. This tweeter with its©? excellent power handling ability is further cultured by the matching crossover that corrects the smoothly sloped response shape and corrects that shape.

This improved shape is flatter and more extended as a result thereby giving the power handling benefit of a larger soft dome with the power response profile of a lower power handling 19 mm size driver.

This improved shape is flatter and more extended as a result thereby giving the power handling benefit of a larger soft dome with the power response profile of a lower power handling 19 mm size driver. This is critical to natural airy sound yet with authority.

The two drivers are then also interfaced with each other with a proprietary crossover using an elliptical high-pass characteristic. This type of filter utilizes intra circuit phase relationships to produce rapid response changes. Within a narrow band signal cancellation by subtraction occurs allowing a rapid response roll-off without the attendant transient response smear and complexity of conventional high order filters.

A negligible group delay characterizes this rapid shift, which essentially prevents the tweeter from interfering with the mid/woofer©?s smooth roll-off. The woofer is faded out gradually and smoothly, as this method is consistent with the best, perceived sound. The mid/woofer since it builds the body of the sound must be faded out cleanly and unobtrusively so the last faint high frequency sounds from it remain realistically connected to the lower frequency body of the sound. The result already very refined is stunningly accompanied by the rapid introduction of the precise relatively widely dispersed (compared to the mid/woofer at the crossover frequency) tweeter. Overall, this is the sound of the CDT Eurosport GOLD line.
