Kõlarielement

A kõlarielement, often referred to as a speaker driver or transducer, is the fundamental component within a loudspeaker responsible for converting electrical signals into sound waves. It comprises several key parts, including a diaphragm, a voice coil, a magnet, and a basket or frame. The electrical audio signal is fed to the voice coil, which is typically a cylindrical coil of wire attached to the diaphragm. This coil is suspended within a magnetic field created by the permanent magnet. As the alternating current flows through the voice coil, it generates a varying magnetic field that interacts with the permanent magnet's field, causing the coil and the attached diaphragm to move back and forth. This movement of the diaphragm displaces air, creating the pressure variations that we perceive as sound. Different types of kõlarielement exist, categorized by the frequency range they are designed to reproduce. Common examples include woofers for low frequencies, mid-range drivers for middle frequencies, and tweeters for high frequencies. Combined in multi-way speaker systems, these elements work together to produce a full spectrum of audible sound. The size, material, and construction of the diaphragm, as well as the strength of the magnet and the design of the voice coil, all significantly influence the speaker's performance, including its frequency response, sensitivity, and distortion characteristics.
