what is a woofer and tweeter?

Question

are they the same as bass and treble speakers?

Answer 1

It is very difficult to reproduce hign frequencies, low frequencies on a same device.

You know why?

Can you speak when some one is shaking you srongly?

Similarly, woofer sounds are low freqency high power sounds and will move the diapraghm of the woofer to extreme ends and when the poor high frequency signals are alos on the same line, but the woofer is already excited to it extreme it can move from there until the high low freqeuncy sounds are reduceds slightly in the mean time you have lost some high freqencies. Result is ugly audio.

So high freqncies and low frequencies are seperated and fed to two individual devices called tweeter and woofers repectively.

Just like, taking away the shaker from you and leaving you free to talk.

Answer 2

Hi there.

Yes in a way. Another name for a woofer (or subwoofer) is a bass speaker. Altho that term isn't commonly used as often as the term woofer or subwoofer. Same for tweeter or treble.

Note tho that even tho they're both the same meaning, there's still a slight difference. A woofer speaker usually has one large speaker, while tweeter speakers are combined with Low and Mid range speakers (3 speakers in one main speaker box). Bass and treble speakers are usually singular speakers.

Also, the term bass is a musical terminlogy, as well as treble, so using them to say bass speaker or trebel speaker isn't techinically correct.

Hope this helps

Answer 3

Woofer is Bass, Tweeter is treble.

Answer 4

Yeah there basically the same. A tweeter is a loudspeaker that reproduces only higher audio frequencies. A woofer is a loudspeaker designed to reproduce bass frequencies.
