the sound by changing it. Ideally, you hear
a sound-a trumpet run, a monologue,
a gunshot-as it was intended by
whoever recorded it. Unfortunately,
no speaker is perfect, but the best ones
come awfully close.
In theory, you can measure how faithfully
a speaker reproduces sound. Frequency
response charts the range of frequencies a speaker is capable of producing.
You want a speaker that can produce as
much of the full range of frequencies that
human ears can hear as possible.
Just liste
Frequency response isn’t the only factor to
consider when you’re looking for a top-notch
set of speakers. In order to understand the
amount of color a speaker adds, the variations
in the output of the speaker is as important as
the range.
An example of a speaker with little variation in
frequency response - a speaker that adds little color.
Every speaker produces certain frequencies that
are louder or softer than others. Assuming that your
