Are beryllium tweeters toxic?

Beryllium is classified as very toxic by inhalation and toxic if swallowed, and as a ‘probable human carcinogen’. It can be irritating to eyes, respiratory system and skin.

Are beryllium tweeters better?

This results in a sound wave propagation three times faster than Titanium and two and a half times faster than Aluminum. In the end, the linearity of the frequency response curve, the acoustic transparency and the impulse response of the Beryllium tweeter are maximized and offer near-perfect sound.

Who makes beryllium tweeters?

This Test Bench characterizes the T34B-4 34mm beryllium dome tweeter from BlieSMa, a German company founded in 2018 by Stas Malikov. BlieSMa’s first tweeter offering, the T34A-4 34 mm aluminum/magnesium alloy dome, appeared in Voice Coil’s June 2018 Test Bench.

Why is beryllium used in speakers?

There is no other material like beryllium for loudspeakers and headphones. Beryllium’s unique combination of high stiffness, low mass, and high damping enhances speakers and enables the highest definition audio and crystal-clear sound.

Why is beryllium used in headphones?

Beryllium is an excellent material for drivers from an acoustics point of view – it is very lightweight but very stiff, this means that it shows no break-up modes in the audible frequency range.

Is beryllium in headphones safe?

Generally, the essential hazards lie with breathing or touching beryllium salts, breathing any “dust” generated in machining or otherwise “working” the metal itself, and even coming into contact with the metal is considered potentially hazardous, doing so is to be avoided.

What does beryllium sound like?

Beryllium is a hard dome material so it should sound similar to aluminium or other hard materials.

Are beryllium drivers good?

Are beryllium drivers better?

Beryllium Drivers Beryllium is an amazing material for drivers from the sound point of view. It is very lightweight but is very stiff, which means that it shows no break-up in the audible range of frequency.
