Dynamic Loudspeaker
Uses a magnetic field to move a cone for sound projection, common in consumer electronics.
Horn Loudspeaker
Features a flaring horn to amplify the mechanical vibration from a diaphragm, used for long throw and high volume applications.
Electrostatic Loudspeaker
Creates sound by varying the electrical charge on a membrane between two conductive plates, favored for high-fidelity sound reproduction.
Planar Magnetic Loudspeaker
Combines principles from both dynamic and electrostatic speakers using a thin, flat membrane, notable for low distortion.
Piezoelectric Loudspeaker
Leverages materials that produce sound when an electrical charge is applied, commonly used in high-frequency applications.
Ribbon Loudspeaker
Uses a thin ribbon to create sound when current passes through, known for excellent high-frequency response.
Coaxial Loudspeaker
Features two or more speaker drivers in the same axis, providing a point source and is used to improve soundstage in a room.
Bass Reflex Loudspeaker
Enhances the bass response using a port or vent, thus improving efficiency at low frequencies.
Transmission Line Loudspeaker
Features an acoustically dampened pathway for the sound wave to travel, which reduces distortion and improves low-frequency response.
Subwoofer
Designed specifically to reproduce low-pitched audio frequencies, used in various sound systems to enhance bass.
Full-range Loudspeaker
Attempts to cover the entire frequency range with a single driver, simple in design and commonly used where space or budget is limited.
Dipole Loudspeaker
Produces sound from both front and back, creating a figure-eight pattern and is often used as surround speakers in home theaters.
Two-way Loudspeaker
Combines a woofer and a tweeter to handle low/mid and high-frequency ranges, providing a balanced sound in a compact form.
Three-way Loudspeaker
Incudes a woofer, midrange, and tweeter driver for wider frequency coverage and improved fidelity over two-way designs.
Line Array Loudspeaker
Comprises multiple identical loudspeakers in a vertical line, which provides more consistent sound over a distance, ideal for large venues and outdoor events.
