Woofer Speakers

Woofer speakers, also known as bass speakers, are devices that can handle low to low-mid frequencies within the audio spectrum. The word woofer derives from the sound that dogs produce when they bark. The frequency of woofer speakers ranges from 40Hz to 500Hz. Here, remember that the lowest frequency sound that the human ear is…

Mid-range Speakers

Mid-range speakers are devices that cover the middle part of the frequency spectrum. They cover the most important part of the audio spectrum, so they run from a range that goes from 500Hz to 4kHz. The human voice, as well as a wide variety of instruments, fall within this specific range. The reason for this…

Tweeter Speakers

Tweeter speakers are audio drivers in a speaker system. They are a type of electromechanical loudspeaker that produces both sound and music at high frequencies. Hence, these devices create the upper range of a sound. Tweeter speakers are usually small. In addition, they produce short wave-length audio and have a tiny cone. Overall, they are…

Coaxial Speakers

Coaxial speakers are systems in which the individual driver unit emits a sound from the same point of axis. There are two main types of this variant: compact and two-way high-power. This kind of speakers is popular in live concerts for on-stage foldback duties, which gives the performers a more even sound field. Compact Coaxial Speaker…

Moving Iron Speaker

A moving iron speaker, also known as a moving-coil loudspeaker, is one of the earliest types of speakers. It is an essential part of small size speakers due to their size and low-cost. Its design involves a ferrous-metal diaphragm, a permanent magnet, and an insulated wire. The Moving Iron Speaker: Mechanics The coil usually wraps…

Piezoelectric Speaker

A piezoelectric speaker is also known as piezo, buzzer, and crystal loudspeaker. It is a device that uses a piezoelectric effect to produce a sound. By applying a voltage to a piezoelectric material that creates a mechanical motion, the sound emerges. Resonators and diaphragms often transform the mechanical motion into an audible sound. In addition,…

Magnetostatic Loudspeaker

A magnetostatic loudspeaker is a dipole loudspeaker that has many similarities with the electrostatic loudspeaker. Magnetostatic loudspeakers use high currents. As the name suggests, their construction involves permanent magnets which function as a static magnetic field and wires that carry the audio frequency currents. In its composition, these wires are attached to a thin diaphragm.…

Magnetostrictive Speakers

In simple terms, magnetostrictive speakers derive from a magetostrictive property. This is a general property of ferromagnetic materials that causes them to change their shape or dimensions during the process of magnetization. The variation of the materials’s magnetization is due to the applied magnetic field changes of the magnetostrictive strain. Eventually, it reaches its saturation…

Electrostatic Speakers

The electrostatic principle has many advantages; these can apply to the construction of electrostatic speakers. The construction of this kind of loudspeakers helps to create speakers with better transient response, lower coloration, and non-linear distortion. Moreover, the radiation qualities tend to work better with room acoustics. The electrostatic loudspeaker includes a pretty light and flexible…

Ribbon Speakers

The diaphragm of ribbon speakers is conductive, positioned in a transverse magnetic field and supported by both ends. When an air current passes through the diaphragm, a perpendicular force results. This generates an even trust on the diaphragm that is typically thin and light. Ribbons are a type of flat-panel speakers. Ribbon Speakers and Electrostatic…
