Where is the difference between full frequency speaker and crossover speaker?


We all know that the appearance of the speaker looks simple, but its internal speaker structure is not simple, and it is precisely because of these complex unit structures and reasonable arrangements to create a sound effect that can be heard. Then we generally call speakers in speakers commonly known as speakers, which are mainly divided into two categories: full-frequency speakers and crossover speakers.

Before talking about full-frequency speakers and crossover speakers, let's first popularize science: the frequency range that our human ears can hear is 20-20000Hz, that is to say, if a speaker can basically cover all the frequency ranges that human ears can hear, it belongs to full-frequency speakers, so full-frequency speakers, as the name implies, refer to a wide range of frequencies and a wide coverage.

However, the previous full-frequency speakers cover the frequency range of 200-10000Hz. In recent years, with the continuous progress of acoustic technology, the general full-frequency speakers can reach the frequency range of 50-25000Hz, and the low frequency of some speakers can dive to 30Hz. However, it is a pity that the full-frequency speakers currently on the market, although they are full-frequency, in fact, most of their frequencies are concentrated in the category of mid-frequency band, and the expressiveness of subwoofer and treble is slightly weaker, so the sound heard is more flat., The three-dimensional effect is not so strong.

However, this is not all a bad thing. Due to its strong performance in the intermediate frequency stage, and the sound emitted by people is mostly in the intermediate frequency, the full-frequency speaker is very suitable for listening to human voices, and the distortion rate in the ear is low, and the human voice expressed is quite full and natural. Moreover, it has only one speaker, in addition to the same tone performance in each frequency band, as a point sound source, its phase is more accurate, and the cost is not so high.

Next, we will come to the crossover horn. We know that the frequency range is divided into stages. In general, there will be a frequency divider inside, which can split the audio signal into several parts. For example, the frequency divider can send the middle and bass parts to the middle and low frequencies, and the treble will be sent to the tweeter. In this way, each unit is working in the best state, and their respective advantages are brought into play, so that the extension of the high and low tones can be wider, so that it can usually cover a wider frequency range than the full-frequency horn, and the overall electroacoustic conversion efficiency is higher.

Although the crossover horn can make up for the disadvantage of the full-frequency horn in high and low bass performance, it is not perfect. The crossover horn has many units, so there is a certain timbre difference and phase difference between each other. Then, the sound field of the sound is not so pure, and the overall timbre will also deviate.

Analysis and comparison: then what is the difference between these two types of speakers? I saw a more vivid metaphor on the internet. the original text said: "full-frequency speakers are like one person who has finished all the work, while frequency-division speakers arrange different jobs for different people to do, because each person has different abilities and focuses, so if these three people are assigned exactly what they are doing and all work in the same direction, then the natural work is beautiful and more efficient. But if it is not a concerted effort, the large number of people will interfere with each other and become a burden. The former does not need to take such risks, and the cost is relatively low." This passage means that if the frequency division is handled well, the frequency division horn will be a very good choice, and if it is not handled well, it will be affordable to choose the full frequency horn.

Here is a summary for everyone: the key to the sound effect of the speaker depends on their built-in full-frequency speakers and crossover speakers. Full-frequency speakers sound natural performance, suitable for listening to the voice. The crossover horn, on the other hand, performs well in high and low extensibility and can transmit sound effects with distinct levels and rich details.
