Het weghalen doet inderdaad wat.

On-axis wordt het hoog boven 7 kHz een paar dB zachter. Off-axis wordt het verloop boven 12 kHz gelijkmatiger, de combinatie van piek op 14 kHz en dal op 17 kHz verdwijnt. Van boven naar onder: 0, 15, 30, 50 graden. Oranje is met, blauw zonder phase plate.

Overigens gebruikt B&W om dezelfde reden geen phase plate op zijn tweeters met harde dome:
B&W, aldus htguide schreef:We haven't used either of these devices for some years now. Pre-Nautilus 800 Series, we used to put a ring in front of the dome and this had the effect of raising the output at very high frequencies (> 10kHz). Unfortunately, this was not a well-dispersed output increase. The on-axis response was lifted at the expense of that at wider angles (in other words, the dispersion was worse).
Removing these devices results in a better, more open sound. A similar improvement was found when we introduced a new tweeter dome support surround on the latest 800 Series Diamond. In both cases you are altering the relative phase of the radiation from different parts of the dome/surround combination.
Of course, you have to deal with the fact that the very high-frequency output is lower than one would want and the only practical solution has been to increase the efficiency of the tweeter over its whole range and attenuate more the lower frequencies through the crossover.
