StarStarStarStar

Tweeter

StarStarStarStar

A type of loudspeaker designed to produce high-frequency sounds, typically from around 2,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz.

StarStarStarStar

Pre-Amplifier

StarStarStarStar

Processes and prepares an audio signal before it's amplified by the power amplifier.

StarStarStarStar

Power Amplifier

StarStarStarStar

Boosts low-power audio signals to a level strong enough to drive speakers and create sound.

StarStarStarStar

Class D Amplifiers

StarStarStarStar

Operate by rapidly switching the output transistors on and off to control power, known for high efficiency and low heat production.

StarStarStarStar

THD (Total Harmonic Distortion)

StarStarStarStar

A measure of the harmonic distortion present and is defined as the ratio of the sum of the powers of all harmonic frequencies above the fundamental frequency to the power of the fundamental frequency.

StarStarStarStar

Woofer

StarStarStarStar

A speaker driver designed to produce low-frequency sounds, typically from around 40 Hz to 1,000 Hz.

StarStarStarStar

Full-Range Speaker

StarStarStarStar

A speaker designed to cover as much of the audio frequency range as possible without the need for separate drivers.

StarStarStarStar

Class A Amplifiers

StarStarStarStar

Amplifiers where the output transistors conduct electrical current at all times, known for their high fidelity but low efficiency.

StarStarStarStar

Sensitivity

StarStarStarStar

Indicates how loud a speaker will be at a certain distance with a given amount of power, typically expressed in decibels (dB).

StarStarStarStar

Bi-Amping

StarStarStarStar

Using two separate amplifiers for the different drivers (tweeters and woofers) within a speaker system.

StarStarStarStar

Bi-Wiring

StarStarStarStar

Connecting a speaker to an amplifier with two separate sets of cables, one pair for the high frequencies and another for the low frequencies.

StarStarStarStar

Cross-over

StarStarStarStar

An electronic circuit that divides an audio signal into multiple frequency bands so that each speaker driver (tweeters, midrange, woofers) receives the correct frequency range.

StarStarStarStar

Subwoofer

StarStarStarStar

A type of loudspeaker designed to reproduce very low bass frequencies, typically below 100 Hz.

StarStarStarStar

Impedance

StarStarStarStar

A measure of the resistance an amplifier will encounter when trying to drive a given speaker, typically measured in ohms (Ω\Omega).

StarStarStarStar

Frequency Response

StarStarStarStar

The range of frequencies that a speaker can reproduce, typically given as a range (e.g., 50 Hz to 20 kHz) and sometimes accompanied by a variance (e.g., ±3 dB).
