What is a ‘loudspeaker’?
A loudspeaker (or speaker) is the general name for a device that converts electrical signals into sound waves that we can hear. Simply put, it is the final element of any audio system that reproduces music, speech or other sounds.
In the context of Gramophone.ua and the world of high-quality audio, the term ‘loudspeaker’ can refer to full-fledged acoustic systems: floor-standing, shelf-mounted, suspended, built-in, which are used in Hi-Fi and Hi-End systems.
Please note: in everyday life and professional circles, the terms ‘loudspeaker,’ ‘speaker,’ ‘column,’ and ‘acoustic system’ are often used interchangeably, although technically they can mean different things. On our website, we use the terms ‘loudspeaker’ or ‘acoustic system’ to refer to devices that reproduce sound.
