Editing Tweeter (section)

== Ferrofluid ==
[[Ferrofluid]] is a suspension of very small (typically 10&nbsp;nm) iron oxide magnetic particles in a very low [[Volatility (chemistry)|volatility]] liquid, typically a synthetic oil. A wide range of [[viscosity]] and magnetic density variants allow designers to add damping, cooling, or both. Ferrofluid also aids in centering the voice coil in the magnetic gap, reducing distortion. The fluid is typically injected into the magnetic gap and is held in place by the strong magnetic field. If a tweeter has been subjected to elevated power levels, some thickening of the ferrofluid occurs, as a portion of the carrier liquid evaporates. In extreme cases, this can degrade the sound quality and output level of a tweeter, and the fluid must be removed and new fluid installed.
