Avantone AV10 MHF Aged Custom-Aged Replacement Tweeter

Description

Aged Authenticity

The AV10-MHF Aged is a faithful re-creation of the original NS-10 high-frequency driver. We treated our best-selling AV10 MHF with an aging process to match the sound of the best vintage specimens.

Since the iconic NS-10 was discontinued, the supply of aftermarket components has become more and more expensive and less and less available. All the while, high-frequency drivers in the field are rapidly deteriorating due to years of in-studio use, making buying used drivers a questionable proposition.

No need to spend decades breaking in your current drivers; Avantone Pro has done that work for you.

Aged but not Old.

We didnt arrive at the tonal character of the AV10 MHF Aged by putting a cloned tweeter through any kind of harsh break-in process that could loosen fibers and glue while simultaneously shortening the life of the speaker. Instead, we developed an elaborate pre-texturizing process that accurately simulates the behavior and voicing of a 30-year old original NS10M Studio driver that has been around the block a few times.

The benefits of this approach are twofold. First, you wont be buying a speaker that is already used and worn-out from a break-in procedure re-creating 30 years of use. Secondly, our texturization process adds weight and strength to both the surround and cone, simultaneously ensuring long life while creating the desired voicing.

The AV10-MHF Aged replacement speakers sound correct the day you install them, and they wont lose their voicing over time due to mechanical fatigue over years of long mix sessions.
