a basic speaker question..

Posted by cloudwalker (A) on July 30, 2016 at 12:40:16

I would look this up online, but I don't know where to start...
A typical speaker crossover divides up frequency reproduction duties based on hz. Lets say a driver is busy with a certain sound (or frequency) and along comes another sound in its "range of duty". How do those multiple "sounds" affect each other? What if one of those sounds is exactly twice or 1/2 the frequency of the other? My friend once told me that almost any speaker is better off with a subwoofer. Not because they go lower, but because they take some of the work away from the mains so that they can do what they are best at a little easier.

Agreed! A great book. Amazing (not really) that physics haven't changed in over 40 years too! nt - Dman 12:08:54 07/31/16 (0)
