Woofer

Woofer

A woofer is a type of speaker that is specifically designed to produce low frequency sounds, typically in the range of 60 Hz to 250 Hz. It is often used in conjunction with a sub-woofer, which is a type of loudspeaker that is designed to reproduce even lower frequencies, typically in the range of 10 Hz to 60 Hz. Together, these two types of speakers can provide a full range of audio frequencies, from the lowest bass notes to the highest treble notes.From: RADIO PRODUCTION WORKTEXT [2019], BKSTS Illustrated Dictionary of Moving Image Technology [2013]

6.20 In a music system, the speaker unit will typically have a woofer, which is intended for the lower-frequency sound, and a tweeter, which is intended for the high-frequency sound. Consider the two electrical circuits shown in Figure P6.20a and b. In each circuit, the sound signal reaches the speaker, which is represented as an electrical resistor (with resistance R1 or R2), which may be a woofer or a tweeter.

Besides the four air supply grilles, the ceiling of the experience room includes: Four independently controlled ceiling mounted loudspeakers (near-/midfield studio monitors, three-way, 2 × 7″ woofer, ADAM Audio A77x) and a subwoofer (200W, 1 × 10″ MKII, ADAM Audio Sub10) (from AMPTEC) above the suspended ceiling, connected to a 32-channel (16 in/16 out) audio interface (Behringer FCA 1616 Firepower) connected to a computer with sound editing software, with which it is possible to create different types of sound/noise.Three types of lighting armatures: four direct light led (HP 55 W), four indirect light led (LP 40 W) and eight soft light led (LP 28 W) armatures (from ETAP), which can be controlled from a PC, laptop and/or tablet, and gives the possibility to change the distribution, intensity and diffuseness of light.
