A current-carrying wire in a magnetic field experiences a magnetic force perpendicular to the wire.
An audio signal source such as a microphone or recording produces an electrical "image" of the sound. That is, it produces an electrical signal that Loudspeaker has the same frequency and harmonic content, and a size that reflects the concepts relative intensity of the sound as it changes. The job of the amplifier is to take that electrical image and make it larger -- large enough in power to drive the coils of a loudspeaker. Having a "high fidelity" amplifier means that you make it larger without changing any of its properties. Any changes would be perceived as distortions of the sound since the human ear is amazingly sensitive to such changes. Once the amplifier has made the electrical image large enough, it applies it to the voice coils of the loudspeaker, making them vibrate with a pattern that follows the variations of the original signal. The voice coil is attached to and drives the cone of the loudspeaker, which in turn drives the air. This action on the air produces sound that more-or-less reproduces the sound pressure variations of the original signal. Loudspeaker basics

Loudspeaker Basics
The loudspeakers are almost always the limiting element on the fidelity of a reproduced sound in either home or theater. The other stages in sound reproduction are mostly electronic, and the electronic components are highly developed. The loudspeaker involves electromechanical processes where the amplified audio signal must move a cone or other mechanical device to produce sound like the original sound wave. This process involves many difficulties, and usually is the most imperfect of the steps in sound reproduction. Choose your speakers carefully. Some basic ideas about speaker enclosures might help with perspective.

Sound Click image reproduction Once you have chosen a good loudspeaker from a reputable for more concepts manufacturer and paid a good price for it, you might details. presume that you would get good sound reproduction from Loudspeaker it. But you won't --- not without a good enclosure. The concepts enclosure is an essential part of sound production because of the following problems with a direct radiating loudspeaker: The sound from the back of the speaker cone will tend to cancel the sound from the front, especially for low frequencies. Speakers have a free-cone resonant frequency which distorts the sound by responding too strongly to frequencies near resonance. The free cone speaker is very inefficient at producing sound wavelengths longer than the diameter of the speaker. More power is needed in the bass range, making multiple drivers with a crossover a practical necessity for good sound.

Loudspeaker Details
An enormous amount of engineering work has gone into the design of today's dynamic loudspeaker. A light voice coil is mounted so that it can move freely inside the magnetic field of a strong permanent magnet. The speaker cone is attached to the voice coil and attached with a Index flexible mounting to the outer ring of the speaker support. Because Sound there is a definite "home" or reproduction equilibrium position for the concepts speaker cone and there is elasticity of the mounting structure, there is Loudspeaker inevitably a free cone resonant concepts frequency like that of a mass on a spring. The frequency can be determined by adjusting the mass and stiffness of the cone and voice coil, and it can be damped and broadened by the nature of the construction, but that natural mechanical frequency of vibration is always there and enhances the frequencies in the frequency range near resonance. Part of the role of a good enclosure is to minimize the impact of this resonant frequency. Go Back

Types of Enclosures
The production of a good high-fidelity loudspeaker requires that the speakers be enclosed because of a number of basic properties of loudspeakers. Just putting a single dynamic loudspeaker in a closed box will improve its sound quality dramatically. Modern loudspeaker enclosures typically involve multiple loudspeakers with a crossover network to provide a more nearly uniform frequency response across the audio frequency range. Other techniques such as those used in bass reflex enclosures may be used to extend the useful bass range of the loudspeakers.
