What Is a Speaker?

A speaker is an audio device that converts electrical signals into audible sound. It works by moving air using internal components such as the voice coil, cone, magnet, and suspension system to produce sound waves.


Main Parts of a Speaker

Each part plays a vital role in delivering powerful and distortion-free sound.
