Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Tweeter | A small driver built for high frequencies, typically from about 2,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz. It adds treble detail and clarity and is usually mounted near ear level or aimed at the listener. |
Additional Notes
- The A-pillar location positions speakers at the upper corners of the windshield frame, placing them at ear level and angled toward the listening area of the cabin.
- A-pillar mounting orients drivers at a forward angle, which affects the stereo imaging and soundstage width perceived by front-seat occupants.
- The 2018 Audi S5 A-pillar accommodates a 1-inch driver, a diameter associated with high-frequency transducers due to the physical relationship between cone size and wavelength reproduction.
- A 1-inch driver at the A-pillar of the Audi S5 is specified exclusively for tweeter use, consistent with the positional advantage the A-pillar provides for high-frequency dispersion.
- Tweeters reproduce the upper portion of the audible frequency spectrum, typically from around 2,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz, covering harmonics, sibilance, and transient detail.
- The small radiating surface of a 1-inch tweeter allows for wide dispersion of high-frequency content, which suits a mounting point as spatially prominent as the A-pillar.
- A-pillar cavities are generally shallow and narrow, making the compact 1-inch form factor mechanically compatible with the constrained depth and width of the mounting recess.
- The tweeter type generates minimal excursion during operation, which is appropriate for a structurally rigid location like the A-pillar where vibration isolation and chassis flex are considerations.
