coaxialhögtalare

Coaxialhögtalare, often referred to as coaxial speakers, are a type of loudspeaker where the tweeter is mounted concentrically within the woofer cone. This design places both sound sources along the same axis, meaning they emanate from the same point in space.

The primary advantage of coaxial speakers is their precise sound imaging. Because the high and low frequencies originate from the same location, the listener perceives a more focused and unified sound source, reducing phase issues and improving stereo separation. This makes them particularly well-suited for applications where accurate sound reproduction is critical, such as in home audio systems, professional studio monitors, and car audio installations.

The construction typically involves a single magnet system that drives both the woofer and the tweeter. The woofer handles the lower and mid-range frequencies, while the tweeter, often a dome or horn-loaded design, is positioned at the center of the woofer's dust cap or directly behind it. This integration simplifies speaker enclosure design and can lead to a more compact overall footprint compared to separate woofer and tweeter arrangements.

While offering benefits in imaging and size, coaxial speakers can sometimes present challenges in terms of crossover design and achieving optimal dispersion patterns for both drivers. However, advancements in design and engineering have largely overcome these limitations in modern coaxial speaker systems, making them a popular and effective choice for a wide range of audio applications.
