A speaker is a component that converts electrical energy into acoustical energy, the loudspeaker that reproduces audio as sound in a system.
A speaker, or loudspeaker, is a component that converts electrical audio signals into acoustical energy, producing the sound a listener hears. It does this by using the electrical signal to move a diaphragm, which pushes air to create sound waves. The speaker is the final element in an audio system's signal chain, turning the amplified electrical signal into audible sound. Speakers range from small drivers to large multi-driver systems.
Because the speaker reproduces the audio, the quality and power of the signal reaching it directly affect the sound. Amplified power is delivered to the speaker through speaker cable, which must be sized to carry the current efficiently with minimal loss, so the speaker receives the full power the amplifier provides.
In commercial and professional audio, speakers depend on dependable connections to the amplifier and clean source signals upstream. The speaker cable feeding them is fundamental to the sound they reproduce.
