Drivers with slipped magnets are in some cases impossible to repair. For those that are possible to repair, an additional charge will apply. As it does so, electric current flows through the speaker’s voice coil, creating a magnetic field that causes it to move toward or away from the magnet as it changes from positive to negative. This moves cone assembly that creates sound waves as the air moves rapidly. Speakers use alternating current (AC) that changes direction (polarity) just like sound waves in real life. How do speakers work full diagram The 20-20kHz range is used because it’s the range of sound a human with good hearing can perceive and music is often recorded within. Because only a lower voltage (12V) is available to power them in cars, it’s more difficult to produce power for the speaker than it is for home stereos where plenty of voltage is available.
Loudspeaker cones are most commonly formed from paper pulp, but plastics (e.g., polypropylene) are also popular, and sheet material can be vacuum thermoformed (like melting hot cheese over a form), compression molded, positive/negative molded (or injection-molded) into the desired shape. Metal cones are also used. Other high-tech solutions that have achieved success include a sandwich construction with skins and honeycomb or foam cores. Speaker cones made of paper, polypropylene and aramid fibers. Cones frequently use special formulas of thermoplastic resins blended with aramid fibers during the injection molding process. A selection of spares including, crossovers, diaphragms and selected re-cone kits are also available, as well as a full range of drivers and components from some of the finest loud speaker cabinet manufacturers, including Aaron B, Most larger PA speakers these days are 3 way or full range, and there are PA Friendly speaker parts within this category. Configuring the woofers, tweeters and horns accurately will grant you the optimum frequency handling capability. Doing so lends itself to all musical styles as listeners enjoy this enhanced, balanced sound. Loudspeaker ComponentsCoaxial speakers are 2-way speakers mounted on the same “axis” or in the same speaker assembly. Most coaxial speakers provide a full range cone and add a separate tweeter with crossover for improved sound fidelity & frequency response versus a standard single cone speaker. In England, reviewers were highly enthusiastic about the new speakers, but the "official" US reaction has been more tentatively favorable, perhaps because our audio press doesn't understand just what the new cone material does for the dynamic speaker. However, the main US suppliers of sheets for thermoforming poly speaker cones have left the industry. While a few cone manufacturers are using injection-molded poly cones because the process results in a higher orientation of the polymer, resulting in higher stiffness for “free.” But injection molding requires a large investment in tooling. The most promising development with poly cones is Propex’s CURV, which has the benefits of injection molding and the low tooling cost of compression thermoforming. Yet after more than a decade since CURV’s introduction, only a few vendors have achieved exceptional results.
Paper was cheap and readily available, and when properly baffled in a large horn or bass-reflex enclosure, to minimize its excursions (by maintaining efficient coupling to the air) and damp out its bass resonance, the paper cone seemed to be the ideal woofer diaphragm. But this was only because it had never been compared with anything better.

How Do Materials Make a Difference in Speaker Construction? As with anything, the whole can only be as good as its parts. Appearance is still another consideration, and there are many secondary surface treatments that add elements that cannot be fully achieved with the cone paper characteristics. Once the recipe is selected for a particular production run, the appropriate paper pulp is soaked in hot water for a period of time determined by the manufacturer. Pieces are torn off the wet pulp sheets (by hand or by machine) and thrown into a water-filled pulp beater. The beating process disperses the fibers while also fibrillating (fuzzing them up) so they will tangle together, thereby holding the cone together. Most of the industry uses the old-style beating machines, which offer potentially excellent fibrillation. Sometimes hydro-pulpers are used, which can be faster in producing the slurry but may not do much fibrillating work on the fibers. Availability and price of the woven fibers are an issue, especially carbon fiber pricing, which often fluctuates. Aramids include meta aramids (e.g., Nomex and Conex) and para aramids (e.g., Kevlar, Twaron, and Technora). The para aramids provide higher performance with higher Young’s modules, which is an important parameter for speaker cone performance. Recently several Chinese vendors have launched meta aramids for applications (e.g., dampers and fabric surrounds). These vendors will probably also release products using para aramids. When determining what’s next for speaker cones, speaker engineers watch for breakthrough speaker cone materials like Endumax. VC Permanent magnet: A magnet is used to provide a fixed magnetic field surrounding the voice coil to make movement possible. Our selection of Speaker Drivers here are all the classic conical type, although other types such as speaker tweeters and horns are also available in our store. The replacement woofers are built to accentuate the low end of your music, providing a way to hear bass frequencies clearer. You'll also find a selection of replacement midrange speakers (most known as "drivers") designed for the augmentation and customisation of existing PA speakers or similar. Buy Speaker Drivers
