Description
ARC Audio AS100 27mm Silk Dome Tweeter
The ARC Audio AS100 is a high-frequency tweeter engineered to deliver smooth, detailed treble performance for premium mobile audio systems. Built around a 27mm fine-woven silk dome diaphragm, the AS100 produces a refined top end that balances clarity and musicality, making it well suited for modern DSP-tuned systems and active speaker configurations.
Designed for flexibility in high-performance installations, the AS100 supports lower crossover points and integrates cleanly with midrange drivers in both 2-way and 3-way system designs.
Advanced Motor and Acoustic Engineering
The AS100 utilizes an N35 neodymium motor structure paired with a precision-machined top plate and secondary bucking magnet to strengthen the magnetic gap and maintain performance under demanding listening conditions. A copper shorting ring helps reduce inductance and non-linear distortion while preserving high-frequency detail.
A tuned rear chamber manages dome compliance and resonance, allowing the tweeter to operate smoothly at lower crossover points while maintaining stability and accuracy throughout its operating range.
Thermal and Installation Design
Internal venting beneath the diaphragm assists with heat dissipation, supporting consistent performance during extended high-output listening sessions. The reinforced ABS housing provides durability while keeping overall installation dimensions compact.
The tweeter also features a reinforced overmolded nutsert at the rear of the housing, providing a secure threaded mounting solution for convertible coaxial installations and environments where vibration resistance is critical.
