PT6816-8 Planar Tweeter

Capable of delivering wide bandwidth with low distortion, the GRS PT6816-8 open back planar driver has the ability to perform well from upper midrange to the highest frequencies. With an extremely lightweight diaphragm and a neodymium motor system, this driver is capable of excellent transient response with amazing dynamics. The open back construction produces true dipole radiation which is ideal for use in open baffle designs. With a narrow footprint and minimal flange, the PT6816-8 is also ideal for line array use.

Highlights of the GRS PT6816-8 Planar Tweeter

GRS PT6816-8 8" Planar Slim Tweeter 8 Ohm

The GRS PT6816-8 open back planar midrange/tweeter is designed to deliver low distortion with dynamic response. Thanks to a lightweight damped polyimide diaphragm that is driven by 18 powerful neodymium magnets in a push-pull arrangement, this driver is capable of incredible transient response and wide bandwidth. The almost linear 6.4 ohm impedance makes crossover design simple and minimizes the number of components required to achieve your required roll off. In addition, the open back design gives this tweeter true dipole radiation making it the perfect choice for use in open baffle speaker designs. With wide dispersion capabilities and minimal mounting flange, the PT6816-8 is an excellent choice for use in high output line arrays. For this tweeter, a face plate is also available. 

FAQ about the GRS PT6816-8 Planar Tweeter 

What type of tweeter is the GRS PT6816-8?

The GRS PT6816-8 Planar Tweeter is a planar magnetic tweeter. This means it uses a flat diaphragm instead of a dome to produce sound.

What kind of speaker designs is the GRS PT6816-8 well-suited for?

The GRS PT6816-8 Planar Tweeter is well suited for open baffle speaker designs, for in line array speaker configurations as well as the shallow mounting depth allows for integration into speakers with limited space.

What are the benefits of the GRS PT6816-8 Planar Tweeter?

Some of the benefits of the GRS PT6816-8 Planar Tweeter are a wide bandwith of frequencies, resulting in a more detailed and accurate sound, a low distortion due to the lightweight diaphragm
