How do speaker components work ?

The components of a loudspeaker work synergistically to deliver a quality sound experience. 

The main components are loudspeakers, which are made up of different elements, including : 

• A fixed part comprising a permanent magnet.
• A moving part comprising a cone and a coil.

When an electric current is passed through the coil, the resulting magnetic field reacts with the magnetic field of the fixed magnet and sets the cone-coil assembly in motion. This causes the air to vibrate, producing sound.

• A tweeter reproduces high frequencies. 
• A midrange driver reproduces mid-range frequencies.
• A woofer reproduces the low frequencies. 
• A crossover directs the frequencies to the appropriate speakers.
• A cabinet is designed like a resonator to isolate the speakers from each other.
