Description
The SB Acoustics SB29RDAC-C000-4 is a 29 mm fabric ring dome tweeter (often called a ring radiator), engineered for superb off-axis performance, smooth high-frequency extension, and clean, low-distortion treble. It’s a standout option for high-end builds needing wide dispersion and low crossover flexibility, with the refinement of a soft dome.
Features
- Non-resonant diaphragm design for minimum high frequency break-up
- Dual balanced compression chamber for improved dynamics
- Copper cap for reduced voice coil inductance and minimum phase shift
- Saturation controlled motor system for low distortion
- Non-reflective rear chamber with optimized damping for improved dynamics
- Flow optimized vented pole piece for optimum coupling to rear chamber
- CCAW voice coil for low moving mass
- Long life silver lead wires
- Cast aluminum faceplate
- Low resonance frequency

✅ Why It’s a Killer Choice
-
Ring radiator design gives wider dispersion and cleaner roll-off compared to standard domes.
-
Low Fs (~600 Hz) = exceptional crossover flexibility—suitable even for large 2-ways or 3-way mids.
-
Smooth, open treble without harshness—perfect for long listening sessions.
-
91 dB sensitivity makes it easy to pair with most woofers and midwoofers.
-
Rear damping chamber improves transient response and reduces distortion.
