  2. Speaker Cabinet Components

  3. Studio Reference Monitors • Speakers with accurate sound for a specific use • More reliable than home stereo speakers

  4. Driver • Drivers are The actual devices that moves air in a speaker

  5. Direct Radiating Cone Speakers • Direct Radiating Cone Speakers Provide the low and mid frequency components of the audio signal.

  6. Horn Compression Drivers • Horn Compression Drivers utilize the same core functionality as the cone speaker. • The compression driver is loaded down by air pressure by a horn lens. • More efficient used to reproduce upper midrange and high frequencies.

  7. Sealed Enclosures • Sealed Enclosures sealed enclosure eliminate diffraction by closing off the path by which the rear-generated sound wave can combine with the front-generated sound wave.

  8. Infinite Baffle • Infinite Baffle design utilizes a very large sealed enclosure in an attempt to take advantage of the resonance within the enclosure

  9. Acoustic Suspension • Acoustic Suspension utilizes a very small enclosure which is sealed to eliminate diffraction.

  10. Bass Reflex • Bass Reflex attempts to release the audio energy generated inside the enclosure in a way that augments its low frequency response

  11. The Passive Radiator • The Passive Radiator utilizes a passive “Dummy” speaker in addition to the active speaker • the passive speaker has no magnet or coil and doesn’t receive audio signal • it supports the motion of the active speaker by moving additional air to the active speaker.

  12. The Passive Radiator

  13. Transmission Line • Transmission Line utilizes an extended length port in an attempt to shift the phase of sound waves generated by the rear of the speaker cone by at least 90 degrees. -

  14. Component Alignment • Component Alignment the process of positioning speakers so that the sound they produce is Identical in phase to the source audio signal.

  15. Time alignment • Time alignment the process of positioning speakers so that the sound they produce is identical in phase to the source audio signal

  16. Tweeter • Tweeter A small loud speaker designed to reproduce high-pitch sounds in a high-fidelity audio system
