The main technical indicators of the audio speakers of the broadcasting system

August 17, 2022

The power of the horn speaker include the rated power and the minimum recommended power. In the broadcasting system, the rated power refers to the power required for the continuous operation of the horn speaker within the allowable distortion range. The minimum recommended power refers to the minimum undistorted power given by the speaker within the allowable distortion range of the reproduced sound. Peak power is the amount of power a speaker horn can withstand without damaging it.

The frequency response of the loudspeaker means that under the influence of the effective frequency uniform power, the sound frequency of each frequency given by the broadcasting system is often implied in the form of "80~1600HZ, about 3dB", and it is also implied by the frequency response curve.

The loudness of the speaker refers to the sound pressure level given by 1W of electrical signal power input on the speaker and 1m away from the axis of the speaker, and the unit is implied by dB. Loudspeakers with high flexibility are easy to push, but the dynamic range will decrease; on the contrary, speakers with low flexibility are not easy to push, which will cause waste of power.

The impedance of the speaker refers to the value that matches the impedance of the power amplifier. The broadcast system can use a multimeter to measure the approximate impedance at both ends of the speaker. The impedance of the speaker is 4 ohms, 6 ohms, 8 ohms, 16 ohms, etc.

The speaker has the same directivity as the microphone, which indicates the distribution environment of the sound around the speaker when it is working. The loudness of the sound heard at different angles away from the central axis of the speaker is not equal. The higher the frequency of the sound, the greater the directivity. Strong, the loudness on both sides is weaker.

The distortion degree of the speaker refers to a certain difference between the playback and the original sound. The phenomenon implied by this difference in the broadcasting system is distortion. The distortion of the speaker mainly refers to the loss of linearity distortion. Generally, the distortion degree of the speaker should be less than 5 %, which will have a certain impact on the sound quality of the speaker.
