All About Speakers

Speakers   &   Drivers

Welcome to our educational section on speakers/drivers. You will note throughout this section that speakers are often referred to as "drivers," because this is actually the correct term. The term "speaker" is traditionally meant to describe what you may think of as a cabinet or system with speakers/drivers built in, whereas the term "driver" refers to an individual speaker. In some cases, speaker/drivers may also be referred to as "emitters" or "transducers," both technically correct terms. If you have any trouble understanding any term used in this or any other section, please refer to our Glossary.

Below we have added links to the pages in the Speaker section, but if you ever need to get from one place to another, all these links, plus links for the entire site, are available on the top and left navigation bars.
