For example, a small low-mass horn or Whizzer cone can be mounted where the voice coil and diaphragm meet, thereby increasing the output at high frequencies. Often the cone structure includes optimizations to enhance high-frequency performance. Typically, a full-range drive unit consists of a single driver element, or voice coil, used to move and control a diaphragm. They might overlap the subwoofers or possibly be crossed over above their LF cutoff and be relieved of low- frequency transmission. The low-frequency range of these systems will not be required to do the work on their own on the bottom end. They have heavier diaphragms to accommodate their power requirements.
#Full range speaker enclosure design drivers
Therefore, smaller format speakers with very-low-mass HF drivers will have range extension above the high-power systems. The high-frequency range of such devices usually extends up to 18 kHz. Larger units with 15” drivers will reach low frequencies, while those of 10” LF drivers or less will roll off closer to 100 Hz. Most full-range speakers have a low frequency of around 60-70 Hz. The term “Full-Range” connotes the speaker that covers the entire range of the human voice. That means that the speaker design can influence the quality of the of a full-range speaker. A full range speaker is capable of producing most of these frequencies, within the limitations of its physical constraints. In order to understand this concept, we can say that certain speakers produce heart-thumping bass at 20 Hz and a piercingly high-frequency signal on 20 000 Hz (20 Hz). The human ear is able to hear all frequencies from 20 Hz to 20 000 Hz (20 kHz). Quality speakers are built to both high and low frequencies at the level that is audible to the human ear. Sound frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz), or the number of times that the audio signal rises and then falls within a second. To fully understand what a full-range speaker is, it is essential to learn about the human sound.
