For a loudspeaker to faithfully reproduce a sound, it’s critical that the cone moves directly in and out of the frame in sync with the drive signal.

Any loudspeaker driver is essentially an electric motor. It takes an electrical signal as input, generating motion (and sound) output. Unlike a battery’s steady input causing a wheel to continually spin, we vary the input with a signal generated from an original sound source. The motion starts with the interaction between a current-carrying conductor, the … Continue reading “A Loudspeaker Driver Breakdown”
