Dayton Audio PT2C-8 Planar Tweeter

The Dayton Audio PT2C-8 Planar Tweeter is a high-performance horn tweeter designed to deliver exceptionally clear and detailed high-frequency reproduction. Engineered for audiophiles and DIY enthusiasts, this tweeter excels in minimising distortion through its advanced planar magnetic design, making it an ideal choice for upgrading two-way speaker systems, creating dedicated high-frequency arrays, or integrating into custom multi-way loudspeaker projects. Its compact form factor also suits near-field monitoring and high-end home theatre applications where precise treble response is critical.

Technically, the PT2C-8 boasts a sensitivity of 94 dB at 1 metre with 2.83 volts, ensuring efficient power handling and dynamic output. With an impedance of 8 ohms and a DC resistance of 6.6 ohms, it pairs well with a wide range of amplifiers. The resonance frequency (Fs) is 1607 Hz, while the mechanical Q (Qms) stands at 1.86 and the total Q (Qts) at 1.78, with a low voice coil inductance (Le) of 0.15 mH for improved transient response. Measuring 167.9 mm by 87.9 mm with a cut-out of 156 mm by 64 mm and a depth of just 27.7 mm, this tweeter from Dayton Audio’s Specialty Drivers Series offers a refined solution for achieving pristine high frequencies in any serious audio build.
