Glossary

Lines

The number of individual frequency bands played by the speaker. At least one specialized speaker is allocated for each such band.

The point of using multiple frequency bands is that for different frequencies, the optimal design of the speakers will also be different (for example, it is better to make tweeters small, and woofers large). Thus, dividing the sound into bands improves the sound. In turn, the advantage of single-way speakers are compactness and lower cost.

Models for 2(LF / HF) or 3 bands(LF / MF / HF) are considered classic options for multi-band computer speakers. There are also 2.5 acoustics — it has 2 separate speakers for bass and treble plus a combined bass + midrange.

Frequency range

The range of audio frequencies supported by acoustics. The wider this range — the fuller the reproduced sound, the lower the likelihood that some of these details at low or high frequencies will remain “behind the scenes”. At the same time, the human ear is able to hear frequencies of the order of 16 – 22,000 Hz, and with age, this range narrows even more. In modern audio equipment, especially at the top level, there may be more extensive ranges, but from a practical point of view, this does not make much sense. In addition, it is worth noting that a wide frequency range in itself does not guarantee high-quality sound — a lot also depends on the frequency response.

Speaker port tube

A phase inverter is a tube of a special design that connects the inner volume of the speaker housing with the outer space. Due to the precisely selected length, such a tube improves the sound of low frequencies, making it more saturated and uniform. The main disadvantage of a phase inverter is that a hum may occur due to the movement of air in the tube; however, manufacturers design speakers in such a way as to minimize the likelihood of this phenomenon.

Note that the presence of a phase inverter is especially useful for subwoofers, but this feature can also be found in general-purpose stereo speakers — for the same reasons.
