Monitor speakers |
Used to listen to sound in the studio; convert the audio signal back into sound that can be heard. Sound that comes from them is the final product. |
|
|
Woofers & tweeters |
Names given to drivers or individual speakers used w/i a speaker system. |
|
|
Woofer |
designed to move the large volume of air necessary to reproduce lower frequencies. Cone is usually larger in size & able to make large movements. However this bulk prevents the speaker from adequately reproducing the higher frequencies that require rapid cone movement. |
|
|
Tweeter |
Uses a lighter & smaller design; often a convex dome replaces the cone. |
|
|
2 way speaker |
A speaker w/ just a woofer, tweeter & crossover |

Why are headphone necessary? |
What if the studio monitors are muted when a Mic is turned on & the operators need to hear audio sources? Headphones allow operators to hear both the other sound & the mic sound so they can balance the 2 or hit appropriate cues; also portable so sounds can be monitored when a monitor speaker isnt available. |
|
|
Correlation between volume levels & clear reproduction of the sound signal |
Higher volume levels = clearer reproduction of the sound signal. |
|
|
Most basic rule of speaker placement |
Distance between speakers = distance from speaker to listener. |
|
|
Correlation between volume of monitor speakers & volume of the signal being broadcast or recorded |
Volume of monitor speakers is for operators use only & has no relationship to the volume of the signal being broadcast or recorded. |
