ESS Technologies' AMT-5 (Air Motion Transformer) is a full-range, high-performance, planar ribbon tweeter employed in some high-end loudspeaker systems. The Air Motion Transformer (AMT) technology uses a pleated membrane attached to a backplate, and Pleated Diaphragm (PD) driver technology, which allows for improved sensitivity, wider dispersion, and lower distortion compared to conventional dome tweeters. The lightweight PD membrane is driven by a strong magnetic field generated by a neodymium magnet assembly, which allows for faster response times and greater output capability in a smaller package. The AMT-5 is often lauded for its detailed and lifelike sound representation, with excellent mid-range, crystal clear highs, and exceptional low level resolution.
