midrange speakers for the perfect sound
The midrange speaker is a central element in many audio systems. The middle frequencies are the most familiar to us, and we can immediately recognize poor sound reproduction here. The reproduction of the human voice in particular takes place in the
frequency range of the midrange speaker Therefore, special attention should be paid to the midrange speakers. With models ranging from the low two-digit range to the four-digit
premium chassis With our product range we can meet every requirement.
. Is a midrange speaker even necessary?
A controversial question on which opinions differ widely. Basically, it is important to cover all frequency ranges of the human hearing spectrum from about 20 to 20,000 Hz. The simplest division is into
lows, mids and highs There are no precise limits defined. It is therefore obvious that separate speakers will take over the individual areas and are designed specifically for them. This is achieved by a 3-way system, which accordingly has woofers, midrange speakers and
tweeter However, 2-way systems also have a large following. In these systems, the woofer and midrange speaker are combined in one loudspeaker – the mid-woofer. In a 2-way system, the classic midrange speaker usually does not find space. Is that
3-way system better than the 2-way system because of the separate components? This question cannot be answered clearly. A well-coordinated 2-way system will undoubtedly deliver better sound than a randomly combined 3-way system. In addition, there are cost and space savings with two instead of three components. As is so often the case: the optimal sound system depends on the individual case.
Excursus Sound Transducer
The transducer is the part of the loudspeaker that reproduces the sound from the source. If you browse through our models, you will mainly find cone-shaped transducers for midrange speakers. Although this design is predominant, it is not the only option. Domes are also occasionally used in midrange speakers and even midrange horns exist. Without going into the details of the designs, you can remember the following rule of thumb: The
cone is standard for midrange and woofer speakers. The dome is the preferred design for tweeters. The horn is more of an exotic and rarer option nowadays. Although the cone is common in midrange speakers, you may well find the sound of a dome midrange speaker better. Personal feeling is not concerned with standards or preferred designs. Nevertheless, you should not worry too much about the design. With a
established cone midrange speakers you are on the safe side and have by far the largest selection.
Which specifications are important?
If you opt for the popular 3-way system with midrange speaker, we have a large selection of different models from 2 to 6.5 inches. However, the models with outer diameters of 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) are the most common. Our top sellers from Scanspeak, for example, shine here:
"DISCOVERY 10F/4424G00" and
"DISCOVERY 5F/8422T01" . But also the
"BLAM LM80" is an enrichment for the car hi-fi experience. The versatility of the midrange speakers is also reflected in the membrane materials used. While the last-mentioned BLAM speaker has a carbon membrane, the Scanspeak speakers come with a paper or plastic membrane.
fiberglass membrane (the technology is even patented).Other models also have aluminum membranes.
Midrange - Our professional tip:
Since the midrange speaker is usually part of a 3-way system, a wide frequency range is not the decisive criterion.
woofer and tweeters are used in parallel, overlaps will inevitably occur. This is why the midrange speakers do not differ greatly from one another in terms of their frequency ranges. Other parameters are therefore more interesting, especially the
impedance and power These values ​​should be well adapted to the entire system.
Which manufacturers does Masori distribute?
At Masori we currently stock midrange speakers from the following manufacturers: Accuton, American Bass, Audio System, Blam, DD Audio, DLS, Ground Zero, Hifonics, Hybrid Audio, Morel, Musway, Peerless by Tymphany, SB Acoustics, Scanspeak, STEG,
Tang Band and Vibe Audio.
Conclusion
3-way systems, consisting of tweeter, midrange and woofer, inspire many audio fans and are without a doubt a good choice for an optimal car hi-fi experience. In order for the system to
best performance To be able to deliver the best possible sound, the midrange speaker must be ideally matched to the other components. With our selection of models of all specifications, you will find the perfect component for your car.
