When exploring the high-frequency reproduction capabilities of loudspeakers and headphones, the choice of tweeter diaphragm material plays a crucial role. Among the myriad of materials available, silk dome and Mylar are two of the most prevalent, especially in consumer and mid-tier audiophile equipment. While subjective listening tests often describe silk as “smooth” and Mylar as “crisp,” a deeper dive into their objective measurements—specifically spectral decay and phase coherence—reveals why these materials sound the way they do.
