{{Short description|Type of loudspeaker}} {{About|the loudspeaker driver|other uses}} {{More citations needed|date=May 2010}} [[File:Tweeter.png|thumb|Cutaway view of a dynamic tweeter with acoustic lens and a dome-shaped membrane. {{ordered list |1=Magnet |2=Voicecoil |3=Membrane |4=Suspension}}]] A '''tweeter''' or '''treble speaker''' is a special type of [[loudspeaker]] (usually dome, inverse dome or horn-type) that is designed to produce high audio frequencies, typically from 2,000 to 20,000 [[Hertz|Hz]]. The name is derived from the high pitched sounds made by some [[bird]]s (tweets), especially in contrast to the low woofs made by many [[dog]]s, after which low-frequency drivers are named ([[woofer]]s).
