The Fountek RD1.0 is a compact entry level fourth generation ribbon tweeter with a 90mm circular faceplate. This design features a 40x8mm ribbon mounted in an aperiodic shallow horn coupled to a powerful neodymium magnet assembly yielding a smooth, extended response with high efficiency and low distortion. The ribbon is made from an ultra light (10mg) multilayer aluminium sandwich with a cross section of 0.015mm (approx 0.6 thou). An impedance matching transformer is built into the back of the housing.
We recommend a minimum crossover frequency of 3.5kHz / 18db octave.

Wow, just had my Mission 753 upgrades of crossover and also tweeters. What a difference it’s made! The high frequencies are more refined and OMG, the separation and richness of mud and bass if awesome…..much thanks to Willy’s for giving my 753’s a new life 😀😀
Excellent advice from will as usual and exactly what I wanted. These have improved the sound of my current speakers and taken them to another level. Sounds superb I can hear tonal difference's between things that I never heard before. Superb bass drivers dig so deep.
As usual will has been outstanding.
Brilliant to deal with always helpful and gives great service.
What a brilliant capacitor, from first listen exceptional clarity and depth. Bargain will be buying more.
Swapped out the 30 yr old AlCap capacitors for the Audyn Q4 on Wills recommendation (along with a ferrofluid change). What a difference, added so much more definition and clarity. Very impressed. Audyns are a fair bit bigger size wise but fitted easily enough on the board and the access aperture on the TDL Studio 1's.
Good quality, fast postage, perfect! Thanks
