Home Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

Re: why?

Why would you want to use a microphone as a speaker? The principles involved (for dynamic versions of each) are similar but they are intended for opposite purposes. A speaker's job is to push air around while a microphone's job is to be pushed around by air (think pusher vs pushee for the technical terms.)

Once you are passed the "gee that sorta does work" stage there isn't much useful to be accomplished by using a mike as a speaker, other than likely damaging the microphone.
