The difference between a woofer and a tweeter

How to quickly distinguish between woofer and tweeter? Let’s take everyone to find out;

The tweeter is also called the tweeter horn, as the name suggests because it is shaped like a horn. The tweeter is the sound reduction unit responsible for the high frequency part of the sound. Because of the high frequency, its diaphragm is made very thin to adapt to the high frequency vibration. It is also the easiest unit to burn. The woofer is responsible for low-frequency reduction, and the low-frequency vibration amplitude is large and slow, so there is a very thick speaker cone and reduction voice coil.

Since the high-pitched sound waves have a greater impact on the horn diaphragm, in order to achieve an accurate and undistorted treble effect, a high-quality horn diaphragm is required. In addition, due to the requirements of sound field positioning, the choice of the reverberation direction is also a requirement of the tweeter. For this reason, car tweeters mostly use neodymium iron boron hemispherical tweeters. Its neodymium iron boron magnet is small in size and strong in magnetic force. The sound film uses pure silk soft diaphragm. The sound of this tweeter is natural and full, and the treble is clearly distinguishable. There are also pure carbon dome-type tweeters and dome-type polyester tweeters coated with styrene rubber, but their sound quality is slightly insufficient. Tweeters are mostly installed on both sides of the car dashboard and above the doors on both sides, and the reverberation direction is selected through a special rotating support.

It can be seen from the filter caliber that a small caliber is generally a high pitch, and a larger one is generally a low pitch; from the voice coil and rubber film, it can be seen that the bass generally has a rubber film and is very flexible, and the treble generally does not have a rubber film. It’s just a voice coil. The woofer is huge, with a large paper cone and rubber edges. Some of the tweeters are very small, while the larger ones are very different in shape, like the horn-type ones that are easy to distinguish.

Speaking of loudspeaker units, I have to mention the brand RCF. RCF combines many advantages into one, so it is favored by various industries and has become a world-famous brand. But what we are talking about today is which audio company has been approved by the RCF unit manufacturer to obtain the general agent right of RCF units in China, that is, Guangzhou Wefeng Audio Equipment Co., Ltd. (GAEpro), which was established in 1997 and is located in Guangdong Province. Panyu District, Guangzhou, is a professional audio manufacturer integrating R&D, manufacturing and sales, and has created a well-known audio brand in the industry—GAEpro.
