tweedersystem

The tweeder system refers to a specific type of audio driver configuration, primarily found in older or specialized audio equipment. It is characterized by the use of two separate drivers within a single speaker enclosure: one dedicated to reproducing low frequencies (a woofer) and another for high frequencies (a tweeter). This division of labor allows each driver to operate more efficiently within its intended frequency range, potentially leading to improved sound quality and reduced distortion compared to a single full-range driver. The crossover network, an electronic circuit, is responsible for directing the appropriate frequencies to each driver. The term "tweeder" itself is a colloquialism or slang term, not a formal technical designation, and likely originated from the combination of "tweeter" and a descriptor for a system or setup. While the two-way speaker design is common, the specific term "tweeder system" is less frequently encountered in modern audio literature, having been largely superseded by more standardized terminology like "two-way speaker" or "bi-amplified system" when active crossovers are employed. Its usage often points to a historical context or a particular niche within the audio enthusiast community.
