We’re sure you’ve read the terms woofers and tweeters if you’re looking to purchase the best budget-friendly or high-end speaker on the market. Related to subwoofers, they are additional speakers designed to play bass in home theater sound systems; the woofer is nothing more than the cone embedded in the speaker to manage low frequencies.
As such, it generally produces sounds from 20 to over 1000 Hz. Interestingly enough, the etymology of the word comes from the onomatopoeia for a dog's bark (woof). Its counterpart is the tweeter, which focuses on the reproduction of high frequencies. Note that this doesn’t mean that woofers cannot emit this type of frequency. » learn more
