The Raven Point Source (Designed by ORCA · Made in California) is an extraordinarily unique high-frequency drive unit.
For countless years, the audiophile community has seen a lively discussion between those vying for dome tweeters, and those vying for ribbon tweeters. We definitely recognize the unequal virtues of ribbon tweeters as being almost immaterial in terms of weight, and we also recognize the virtues of dome tweeters when it comes to dispersion and power handling. So we thought the best would really be to have both at the same time! This is how we imagined a pure ribbon transducer: a ribbon diaphragm that would roughly exhibit the same area as a dome tweeter and thus present a similar type of dispersion, but with the extraordinary advantages of being a pure ribbon.
PURE RIBBON ADVANTAGES:
- A diaphragm that is all energized and supported by the magnetic field, while in a dome tweeter it is only at the periphery that the emitting diaphragm is energized and supported
- A total moving mass that is 60 times lighter than what it is in a dome tweeter of the same emitting area.
THE NET AND VERY AUDIBLE RESULTS ARE THERE:
- A dispersion matching that of a 25 mm dome tweeter
- A total distortion matching that of very fine high end amplifiers, translating into a phenomenally natural rendering of music, any music.
