How are tweeters used in a speaker system?

Tweeters are used in speaker systems for a limited number of reasons (they’re never used alone): In a 2-way or 3-way speaker system to produce sound the other speakers cannot To add more high-frequency sound (treble) for added effect

What does a car speaker crossover do for a tweeter?

Car speaker crossovers (left) and home stereo speaker crossovers (right) are responsible for directing bass to a woofer and treble to a tweeter. They protect the tweeter and block distortion and potentially damaging bass power from overdriving it.

How does a voice coil work on a tweeter?

When an amplified musical signal is applied to the tweeter via the positive (+) and negative (-) wiring connections the voice coil creates a magnetic field inside the magnet’s permanent magnetic gap area. This varying field causes the tweeter coil and dome to move forward and in reverse, moving air very rapidly following the signal.

What is the typical range of a tweeter?

Generally speaking, they’re best used when pointed toward the listener. Most are limited to a specific range of audio production such as 3 kilohertz to 20 kilohertz (kHz) maximum, although it depends on the specific speaker’s limitations. The typical range of human hearing is around 20 Hz to 20kHz.
