Silk Dome vs Mylar: Spectral Decay and Phase Coherence

By Vitaly Fedorov | Last Updated on October 4, 2026 | Posted on October 4, 2026

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.

Further Analysis

Additional acoustic characteristics require further empirical testing to fully quantify the system’s dynamic range.
