I'm looking to learn about Air Motion Transformer technology

An AMT is not a ribbon.

In a ribbon the moving part is entirely conductive, and very low impedance so much that they usually require a matching transformer.

In an AMT the conductor is longer, much thinner and attached to a moving membrane which provides the actual moving surface area.  As a result the impedance is much more reasonable.

Further, AMT's have amazing power handling and linearity and lower distortion than most ribbons which tend to be delicate diva's by comparison.

Buy what you'd like!! :)

Best,

Any way you look at it, the transducer on amt is a ribbon that is folded. 

Yeah, if you ignore the shape, material, impedance. flow of current, source of opposing force and radiation pattern, I guess you are right, it’s a ribbon.

Yes, regardless of the smart aleck,  it is a ribbon.
