Product Information

Because only a lower voltage (12V) is available to power them in cars, it’s more difficult to produce power for the speaker than it is for home stereos where plenty of voltage is available. The speaker “cone” name refers to its shape: an inverted cone shape with a central opening where the bobbin & voice coil assembly is attached. A dust cap is attached to the cone over this opening at the bottom to prevent contaminants from getting inside. These are both supported at the bottom by a stiff but flexible material sometimes called the “spider”. PP has some appealing attributes, including consistency, stability, strength (regardless of humidity) and a smooth and well-damped sound quality. PP is a terrific value, with price varying due to quantities and reinforcing fibers. However, PP has remained on the edge of mainstream audio but never achieved the success paper has in the cone business. Popular materials for speaker cones are paper, metal, plastic, and aramid fiber. Each of these materials have their own sound characteristics, their own advantages, and their own disadvantages. Let’s dive right in and discuss a few characteristics of each, shall we?

In other words, they separate the sound you hear between two speakers for better results than a single speaker alone. This is done because woofers can’t produce higher frequency sounds well and should be prevented from producing treble frequencies. The cone shape offered the best solution for rigidity, while early flat diaphragms turned out to be too unstable, flex too much, and create distortion. The cone shape, having geometric rigidity, moves as a single unit, much like a piston. What are High-Quality Speaker Cones Made Of?Surrounds for speaker cones can be made from resin-treated cloth or non-woven material and frequently consist of polymeric foams or thermoplastic elastomers. Dual voice coil speakers offer a second voice coil winding in the same speaker and on the same voice coil bobbin assembly. These types of speakers allow some additional options that single coil speakers do not: way speakers are less common due to the added cost & complexity but are a good choice for speaker builders and audiophiles who want more advanced performance. They also offer the option to get improved sound by using high-performance midrange speakers that are better suited to it than midbass models. What is a Bluetooth speaker? Are polystyrenes here? Definitely. However, as is true of electrostatics, the good ones are expensive. There are still some design and production problems that must be ironed out before they can be made well and cheaply, but as the techniques are perfected, we can safely predict that all high-quality loudspeakers will eventually abandon the venerable, obsolete paper cone.— Irving Fried

Voice coil and bobbin: The bobbin is a round tube attached to the bottom of the cone. A very long and tightly wound wire coil, called the voice coil, creates a magnetic field as electricity flows through it from the musical signal from an amplifier. In a matter of speaking, speakers are just an electric motor of sorts: they are powered by an electrical signal and change it into a mechanical output: moving air to create musical sounds. Appearance is still another consideration, and there are many secondary surface treatments that add elements that cannot be fully achieved with the cone paper characteristics. Once the recipe is selected for a particular production run, the appropriate paper pulp is soaked in hot water for a period of time determined by the manufacturer. Pieces are torn off the wet pulp sheets (by hand or by machine) and thrown into a water-filled pulp beater. The beating process disperses the fibers while also fibrillating (fuzzing them up) so they will tangle together, thereby holding the cone together. Most of the industry uses the old-style beating machines, which offer potentially excellent fibrillation. Sometimes hydro-pulpers are used, which can be faster in producing the slurry but may not do much fibrillating work on the fibers. Paper cones, while brighter-sounding and more “alive,” are more expensive for manufacturers to produce. While their tonal qualities are often desirable, paper material itself is susceptible to the absorption of moisture from the atmosphere which can, in time, change the composition and therefore the tonal characteristics of the cones. There are also a myriad of variables in the paper cones--some manufacturers will treat the paper, resulting in a rounder sound. Other manufacturers use untreated paper, resulting in a bright, wide-open sound.

As it does so, electric current flows through the speaker’s voice coil, creating a magnetic field that causes it to move toward or away from the magnet as it changes from positive to negative. This moves cone assembly that creates sound waves as the air moves rapidly. Speakers use alternating current (AC) that changes direction (polarity) just like sound waves in real life. How do speakers work full diagram Since the job of the speaker cone is to essentially take the vibrations from the speaker’s voice coil and turn them into audible sounds for your listening pleasure, it is extremely important that the speaker cone should be able to accurately reproduce those vibrations without distorting. For this reason, even-tempered and consistent materials are required; in a perfect world, a speaker cone should be very rigid and durable, but also lightweight and capable of starting and stopping vibrations on a dime. Variable-density cones—heavy and rigid near the voice-coil, and tapering to thin and light at the rim—were tried in an effort to combine the advantages of lightness and stiffness, but they suffered from the disadvantages of both. Their upper-range response was poor, and they, too, failed to operate like the ideal piston radiator.
