The AMT (Air Motion Transformer) is a development of the German physicist Dr. Oskar Heil.

Der AMT (Air Motion Transformer) ist eine Entwicklung des deutschen Physikers Dr. Oskar Heil.
It is a tweeter-midrange driver that is low in distortion and has a high efficiency.
+
Es handelt sich um einen Hoch- Mitteltöner der verzerrungsarm ist und einen hohen Wirkungsgrad hat.
Depending on the model, the frequency range starts at about 750Hz and goes up to 32000Hz (-6dB).
+
Der Übertragungsbereich beginnt bei ca. 750Hz und geht bis 32000Hz (-6dB).
The high efficiency is achieved by a concertina-like membrane, which is excited in a strong magnetic field to vibrate.
+
Der hohe Wirkungsgrad wird durch eine ziehharmonikaähnliche Membran erreicht, die in einem starken Magnetfeld zum Schwingen angeregt wird.
  
The AMT was marketed on a large scale by the US company ESS, but had quality problems and is hardly used today.<br />

Im großen Maßstab vermarktet wurde der AMT von der US Firma ESS.

Wissenswertes:
 +
- Wirkungsgrad (98-100dB)
 +
- Gleichstromwiderstand 3,2 Ohm
 +
- Resonanzfrequenz 950 Hz
 +
- Nennimpedanz 4 Ohm
 +
- Einsatz erst ab 1000 Hz
 +
- hohe Impulsgeschwindigkeit
 +
- z.Tl. schwierige Konfiguration mit Tieftonchassis wegen des hohen AMT Wirkungsgrades
 +
- der leichte Höhenanstieg wird oft durch Sperrkreise abgemildert
  
Fun Facts:

Modelle:
- Efficiency (98-100dB)
 
- DC resistance 3.2 Ohm
 
- resonance frequency 950 Hz
 
- nominal impedance 4 Ohm
 
- use only from 1000 Hz
 
- high impulse speed
 
- sometimes difficult configuration with bass drivers due to high AMT efficiency
 
- the slight increase in high frequencies is often attenuated by blocking circuits

Alternatively, the German company [[Mundorf]] offers a range of very high quality models.
 
 
 
== Application ==
 
The AMT from ESS was used e.g. in these models:
 
*ESS [[AMT 1 Tower]]
 
*[[ESS Connoisseur Series AMT 450]]
 
*ESS [[PS-81]]
 
*ESS [[PS-61]]
 
*[[Myro Concert]]
 
*[[Myro Grand Concert]]
 
*[[Myro Concert Monitor]]
 
*[[Myro Heaven's Gate]] (single speaker with 3 x AMT ''per box'')
 
*[[Myro Floor Monitor]]
 
*[[Myro Pro Fidelity 3.1]]
 
 
 
AMT models from [[Mundorf]] are used here, for example:
 
*[[Myro Whisky]]
 
*[[Myro Ocean]]
 
*[[Myro Time 1]]
 
*[[Myro Time 2]]

- richtige Polung kann durch Mittigkeit von Rauschen festgestellt werden, bei richtiger Polung ist der Pegel höher
