RAAL 140-15D Dipole

RAAL140-15D Dipole Ribbon Tweeter with Amorphous Core

Size matters! With a surface area of 21 cm², a super-light 22 mg flat foil, deflector pads, and a homogeneous magnetic field, it represents the best in mid-high frequency transducers available today. Many other details in its construction serve to achieve the flattest possible frequency response and a fast transient response. It is fast and accurate. The main difference is that, unlike other ribbon speakers, it replicates the spherical sound wave, even though it is a linear source, so the high-frequency range is not emphasized and "beamed" into a very narrow vertical space.

Details about the product

RAAL DIPOLE-140-15D Ribbon Tweeter

Poor directional characteristics are very noticeable, such as the constant presence of the sound system in front of the listener, as the brain registers changes in the sound field with small head movements, causing the listener to remain very still while listening. Additionally, overly direct speakers tend to provoke only a few reflections in the listening room, depriving the necessary diffuse sound field in the room of high-frequency components, which poses another problem for our brain. Real instruments do not behave this way, so this should be replicated as closely as possible. The 140-15D does exactly that, generating almost hemispherical sound waves, just like life around us does.

Its ability to produce a very high sound pressure level without audible distortions while effortlessly reproducing the smallest musical details brings the natural character of the played instrument into the listening space, with a sound quality that makes the listener a participant in an event that took place in another place and time.

The 140-15D easily "tricks" the human brain into suddenly making everything sound right and as it should. The brain has no choice but to interpret that there are real, living people playing real musical instruments, precisely in the room where a millisecond ago there was nothing but your stereo system. The feeling of hearing a "natural" sound is overwhelming. The exact size of all instruments and voices, their perfect position within the soundstage, and the clarity of the air between the positions of the instruments are immediately recognizable...

Enough said. You have to hear it to believe it.
