Explaining Common Speaker Types Including Horn Speakers

Speakers are designed for converting electrical signals into sound waves and can be used for various purposes. Followings are the steps which way a loudspeaker works:

• Fluctuating electric current flow through a coil
• Becoming a transient electromagnet
• The permanent magnet attracts and repels
• The coil moves, causing back and forth movement of the cone as well
• Pumps sound waves into the air

Common speaker types

• Dynamic speakers are quite common, having one or more woofer and tweeter drivers, producing low frequency sound. Sometimes, these speakers come with rear drivers for amplifying the produced sound.
• In Horn speakers, you will find an acoustic horn or flared transmission channel that is responsible for increasing the overall quality of the loudspeaker, improving the efficiency of coupling between the driving element and the air.
• Subwoofer loudspeakers use large woofer driver and most of the time a bass port is included to the enclosure for producing low frequency sound. One can use these speakers as an accompaniment for enhancing base from other speakers without compromising the sound quality.

Australian monitor amplifiers can be considered as heavy-duty amplifiers, usually 200 watts per channel. If the monitor speakers use passive crossovers, then every channel will be connected to one or more speakers. On the other hand, if it is bi-amped, then for every monitor speaker two or more channels are required.
