diaphragm.\u00a0The second speaker &#8211; D6 &#8211; can be considered a tweeter.\u00a0Naturally, it is smaller, but not much: the diameter of its rigid diaphragm made of a combination of titanium and polymer was 6 mm.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/158_techweek.jpg\" width=\"1273\" height=\"521\"
