Speakers are what kind of transducers? |
|
Speakers are double transducers. |
|
What are the three main types of speakers? |
|
Electro Dynamic (Moving Coil) Ribbon Electro Static (Works on the theory of variable capacitance and has a hyped frequency response). |
|
What are the two OTHER types of speakers? |
|
Piezo Electric (Tweeters) Plasma (Laser shit that vibrates air) |
|
How many volts does a microphone emit? |
|
Less than one, maybe 1/5th? |
|
Ribbon speakers and microphones have what in common? What is it good for? |
|
Corrugated aluminum. It’s good for high frequencies. |
|
Tweeters are used in conjunction with what? |
|
|
A speaker is a tweeter and woofer. Mids and highs go to what? Lows go to what? |
|
Mids and Highs go to the tweeter. Lows go to the woofer. |
|
|
It divides the sound frequency spectrum (20Hz-20kHz) into regions. It’s how the mids and highs are decided to go to the tweeter and the lows to the woofer. |
|
Can one speaker reproduce 20Hz-20kHz? |
|
No one speaker can reproduce 20Hz-20kHz. |
|
A tweeter is too small to reproduce low frequencies and vise versa. |
|
|
|
A tweeter but louder, used on P.A. systems. |
|
|
Ports allow for low frequencies to escape (usually in the front). |
|
4 volts = __ on a VU meter. |
|
4 volts = 0, line level, on a VU meter. |
|
Sound travels in what direction? What’s the difference between lows and mids and highs? |
|
All directions. Lows are more omnidirectional between mids and highs. |
|
Powered Speaker Cables go to what kind of speaker? |
|
|
What is a speaker enclosure? |
|
The box, body that the speaker’s in. |
|
Describe a passive speaker. Describe an active speaker. |
|
Passive speakers have no amp within the enclosure, it needs external amp, and powered signals are sent to it.

;
Active speakers have an amp in it, a power switch, it plugs into the wall, takes an XLR (balanced signal).
|
|
Tweeter and woofer = ___ ___ speaker? Tweeter, mid range and woofer = _____ ___ speaker? |
|
Tweeter and woofer = Two way speaker. Tweeter, mid range and woofer = Three way speaker. |
|
Describe what a passive crossover does. Descrive what an active crossover does. |
|
A passive crossover takes a powered signal and divides sound frequency spectrum.
;
Active crossovers receive an unpowered signal (line) and sends out divided frequencies (still unpowered).
|
|
Active speakers have what kind of crossover? |
|
Active speakers have passive crossovers. |
|
Mic & Line ? _______? Speaker = _______? |
|
Mic & Line ? Powered Speaker = Powered |
|
Speakers either come in ?, ?, and ? ohms. |
|
Speakers either come in 4, 8, 16 ohms. |
|
|
|
An electric guitar gives out how many ohms? |
|
|
What size woofers are able to emit 20Hz? |
|
|
|
The measurement of how quickly a speaker’s cone reacts to an audio signal. |
|
What is transient response? |
|
How quickly a mic’s diaphragm reacts to a sound wave. |
|
The longer the cable, the _____ the damping (factor). |
|
The longer the cable, the worse the damping (factor). High damping reacts quicker. Low damping is bad. |
|
Do active speakers have higher or lower damping compared to a passive speaker? |
|
Active Speakers have higher damping because the cable is right next to the amp. |
|
Sub woofers are a separate speaker enclosure. |
