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.
Transmission Line Loudspeaker
Features an acoustically dampened pathway for the sound wave to travel, which reduces distortion and improves low-frequency response.
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.
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.
Electrostatic Loudspeaker
Creates sound by varying the electrical charge on a membrane between two conductive plates, favored for high-fidelity sound reproduction.
Dynamic Loudspeaker
Uses a magnetic field to move a cone for sound projection, common in consumer electronics.
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.
Horn Loudspeaker
Features a flaring horn to amplify the mechanical vibration from a diaphragm, used for long throw and high volume applications.
Dipole Loudspeaker
Produces sound from both front and back, creating a figure-eight pattern and is often used as surround speakers in home theaters.
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.
Bass Reflex Loudspeaker
Enhances the bass response using a port or vent, thus improving efficiency at low frequencies.
Subwoofer
Designed specifically to reproduce low-pitched audio frequencies, used in various sound systems to enhance bass.
