It’s a well-known fact that many hybrid loudspeakers combining standard midrange with ribbon tweeter have integration problems. How Verity Audio did address this matter?
It’s true that a good number of loudspeakers exhibit improper ribbon tweeter integration. The component synergy is one of Verity Audio’s highest criteria and we wouldn’t use such a combination if impossible. Integration problems will occur with any kind of driver combinations. Those problems will be more obvious to the listener with a poorly integrated ribbon tweeter. The similarity of the dispersion, dynamic and distortion characteristics are key elements in assuring a good match between two drivers. Furthermore, those characteristics should be weighted according to the psychoacoustics. Their interrelation is rather complex and an exhaustive explanation would be inappropriate. However, here’s a brief sum up on how we achieve our integration: We use short-length (2-inch) ribbon tweeter allowing for a good dispersion homogeneity, we crossover at high frequency (around 5,000 Hz) and use a high-speed midrange that exhibits an upper frequency dispersion that complies very well with the rib
