AMT (Air Motion Transformer)

The specially designed Air Motion Transformer tweeter (AMT) is used in all Steinway Lyngdorf models. The AMT utilizes the best technology from the two popular high frequency driver types: the ribbon tweeter and the dome tweeter. The dome tweeter is popular because its wide frequency range allows flexible crossover design and high power handling. However, it lacks the silkiness and resolution of fine detail that make the ribbon tweeter exceptional. On the other hand, while the ribbon tweeter possesses smooth resolution at the highest frequencies, it is limited in the lower frequency range and consequently may have difficulties with details from voices and other important sound sources. The AMT features a wide frequency range with a low 2 kHz crossover point, ensuring a seamless transition to the midrange driver.
