  2. Subwoofer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subwoofer

    From about 1900 to the 1950s, the "lowest frequency in practical use" in recordings, broadcasting and music playback was 100 Hz. [9] When sound was developed for motion pictures, the basic RCA sound system was a single 8-inch (20 cm) speaker mounted in straight horn, an approach which was deemed unsatisfactory by Hollywood decisionmakers, who hired Western Electric engineers to develop a ...

  3. Rotary woofer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotary_woofer

    A rotary woofer is a subwoofer-style loudspeaker which reproduces very low frequency content by using a conventional speaker voice coil's motion to change the pitch (angle) of the blades of an impeller rotating at a constant speed. The pitch of the fan blades is controlled by the audio signal presented to the voice coil, and is able to swing ...

    The MTX Jackhammer, a 22-inch subwoofer made by MTX Audio, is capable of 2.5 inches of linear cone excursion, one way. That is a total range of 5 inches, which is potentially hazardous. The Thunder 1000000, the record holder for the largest subwoofer ever made, with a diameter of 60 inches, is capable of 6 inches of peak to peak cone excursion.

    Before the bass management system, there is a LFE channel. After the bass management system, there is a subwoofer signal. A common misunderstanding is the belief that the LFE channel is the subwoofer channel. The bass management system may direct bass to one or more subwoofers (if present) from any channel, not just from the LFE channel. Also ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equalization_(audio)

    A crossover network is a system of filters designed to direct electrical energy separately to the woofer and tweeter of a 2-way speaker system (and also to the mid-range speaker of a 3-way system). This is most often built into the speaker enclosure and hidden from the user.

  8. Tone control circuit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tone_control_circuit

    Tone control is a type of equalization used to make specific pitches or frequencies in an audio signal softer or louder. It allows a listener to adjust the tone of the sound produced by an audio system to their liking, for example to compensate for inadequate bass response of loudspeakers or earphones, tonal qualities of the room, or hearing impairment.

  9. Audio crossover - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audio_crossover

    the power amplifiers are directly connected to the speaker drivers, thereby maximizing amplifier damping control of the speaker voice coil, reducing consequences of dynamic changes in driver electrical characteristics, all of which are likely to improve the transient response of the system; reduction in power amplifier output requirement.
