The Yamaha HS8 is a great piece of equipment for your professional studio: you can hear every single detail, good and bad, clearly. Music producers, enthusiasts, and sound engineers will tell you that the Yamaha NS10 was one of the most important speakers in pop music history. In the 90s, the NS10 was every record…

The Rokit 5 G3 is not your typical flat response monitor. Rather, its design is for DJs and music producers who are looking for more bass in smaller studio monitors. These monitors bring the same yellow woofer scheme and stylish exterior as their big brothers. In contrast, this particular one is for beginners and for…

Amplitude panning is a system that transforms both the phase and amplitude differences of a signal recorded by stereophonic reception systems into amplitude differences reproduced by two speakers. These stereophonic reception systems are usually microphone stereo pairs or human ears. This is the basis of several multi-loudspeaker configurations. To start, this system derives from stereophony;…

Rotary woofers are a type of loudspeaker that uses the coil’s movement to modify the pitch of a set of fan blades. They create sounds below the normal level of human hearing, which is 20Hz. By compressing the air in a closed room, these woofers produce frequencies below 0Hz. The rotary woofer displaces air by…

Digital speakers, also known as Digital Sound Reconstruction systems, involve loudspeaker technology. These types of speakers are different from modern digital formats and processing because engineers have not yet developed them as a mature technology. How Digital Speakers Work This kind of speakers bring the digital signal closer to the transduction process and are capable…

Electromagnetic speakers are the grandparents of electrodynamic ones. The former emerged around 1860. However, it took over 40 years to develop the knowledge of acoustics, materials, math, and frequencies that gave birth to the kind of electrodynamic speakers that we know today. The then recent developments in vacuum tubes were extremely helpful for control of…

Full-range speakers are devices that produces a wide variety of frequencies. Their design has great influence over the overall sound quality. A brief reminder of the physics in this situation tells us that experts measure sound frequency by the number of times that the audio signal rises and then falls within a second. Quality speakers…

Subwoofer speakers have a peculiar arrangement and unique features. User set these subwoofers in separate compartments that cover about a three-octave range. The large wave-range within the subwoofer range might diffract around close objects, typically other subwoofer speakers. While full-range speakers are usually not faced directly toward each other, subwoofers find that assembly practical and…

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 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…
