How Speakers Work
How Speakers Work In the article on the sound physics, we talked about how sound sources create and transmit vibration at given frequencies and intensities through a medium. Special hairs in the ear then change the vibration into electrical signals in the brain, causing the perception of sound by the listener. A speaker is just one example of a sound source, and this article will cover the science and theory behind how speakers work to make sound. History of Speakers The modern-day dynamic loudspeaker is an ingenious feat of engineering. British physicist Oliver Lodge invented it in 1898 and two Americans […]
Physics of Sound
Our objective as musicians and music producers is to manipulate sound within the spectrum of human hearing to ultimately create something appealing to the listener. To learn how, we need to understand the physics of sound and what exactly is happening in the space between the ears of the musician and the ears of the listener. In this article, we’ll cover the following questions: What is sound and what are sound waves? What is frequency? How are frequency and wavelength related? What is amplitude? What is sound intensity? How do we hear? What is Sound? Sound is a physical phenomenon […]
