Efficiency Meets Linearity

The frequency response of the 25SD4 illustrates exactly what the high magnetic flux density of 1.8 T translates to in real-world use: an efficient, high-power driver with 92 dB efficiency that delivers a smooth, linear amplitude curve across its core operating range starting at 3 kHz. This forms the foundation for a neutral, coloration-free sound signature – without the artificial brightness boost that some hard dome drivers market as 'enhanced detail richness'.

The 25SD4 is an especially logical choice for high-efficiency DIY audio builds: at 92 dB, it integrates seamlessly with higher-efficiency midrange and bass drivers without requiring any level matching in the crossover. This simplifies crossover design and keeps signal losses to a minimum.

Off-axis radiation performance is appropriately wide for a 25 mm driver – a physical advantage of the smaller dome compared to larger designs. The result is uniform energy dispersion throughout the listening space and stable stage imaging even off the main listening axis. As with all ETON soft dome drivers, the complete absence of resonance-induced peaks is a direct result of the hand-coated fabric domes produced in our in-house factory.

Calculable from 670 Hz to well above that

The impedance curve of the 25SD4 shows the behavior of a compact, highly efficient soft-dome tweeter. The impedance peak occurs at the resonant frequency of approximately 670 Hz. This yields a clear recommendation for crossover design: Above 3 kHz, coupling with a 2nd-order filter is uncritical and the simplest, most reliable solution for most DIY projects — the safety margin from resonance is comfortable, and filter design remains straightforward.

For experienced builders, a crossover frequency starting around 2 kHz is also feasible — but this requires a steeper 3rd- or 4th-order filter to ensure the necessary spacing from the resonant frequency. This opens up combination options with midrange drivers that cap their operating range at 2 kHz, and gives the overall system greater flexibility.

Above the resonant frequency, the driver behaves almost purely resistively thanks to its extremely low voice coil inductance (Le = 0.02 mH) — the impedance rise at high frequencies is minimal. The result is a well-behaved, predictable load for the crossover and amplifier that performs exactly as it does in simulations in real-world use.
