The RT2C-A has resistive impedance in the audio frequency range. This unique feature provides a friendly load for any amplifier and facilitates easy crossover design. Unlike other drivers, the RT2C-A has an essentially linear phase response that provides time coherent reproduction resulting in accurate musical rhythm and imaging. The vibrating element of the RT2C-A is almost weightless compared to that of a dome tweeter. As a result it provides an immediate and precise response to any transients in the original signal. The RT2C-A has an exceptional ability to reveal the dynamics of instruments with complex high frequency spectra.
Unlike conventional tweeters and electrostatic speakers, the RT2C-A has an extremely wide sound dispersion in the horizontal plane. At the same time, contrary to other dynamic tweeters, the RT2C-A has well-controlled dispersion in the vertical plane. This feature helps to avoid disturbing floor and ceiling reflections, increasing imaging accuracy. With this tweeter there is no need to manipulate the network or use multiple units to achieve the restricted vertical directivity necessary for home theater applications.
When considering all of the properties of the RT2C-A, it becomes clear why many critical listeners among audiophiles highly prize planar transducers. They possess unsurpassed clarity, transparency and the ability to deliver every tiniest musical detail.
Since the RT2C-A has exceptional ability to reveal the dynamics of instruments and sonic resolution, it is recommended to match it with drivers having similar properties in order to maximize the overall integrity of a speaker system
