3 different types of speaker and their uses

Speakers are the electronic device that turns audio files into real sound for our ears to hear. We can’t hear an mp3 file, our ears only hear frequencies. So, the speakers turn an audio file (can be of any format like .mp3, .wav etc.) into frequencies so that we can listen to them.

There are three basic types of speakers:

  1. Woofers
  2. Tweeter
  3. Mid-Range

Here we will be talking about 3 basic types of speakers and their uses.

  1. Woofers: Woofers are responsible for producing the low frequency of sounds. They can produce sounds that are between 40 Hz to 500 Hz. So, all the bass notes are played by the woofers. It is because of the woofers we can hear bass sounds. So, if you are a fan of the bass drum or a bass guitar, you need a good woofer. For a hip-hop fan, a good woofer can help to listen to the low beats and augment the feel of a song.
  2. Tweeters: Tweeters produce high-frequency audio. They can produce sounds that are in between 2000 Hz to 20000 Hz. All high notes from a guitar can be heard clearly if you have a good tweeter. It is a good idea to increase the tweeter sound for listening to songs that have high pitch vocal lines.
  3. Mid-Range: This type of speakers produces the frequency that is in between the woofer and tweeters. A mid-range speaker can produce frequency from 500 Hz to 4000 Hz. In any typical song, the mid-range frequencies are used more. So, it’s important to have a good mid-range speaker. Most of the pop or rock songs require a mid-range speaker for good sound quality.

So, if you want to listen to music with good quality sound then you need all three of the basic speakers. But, even if you have all three speakers your music might not sound great if they aren’t good quality.

If you enjoy listening to music in the car then you need a better car music system, including a good car stereo and car speakers. If you own a boat and want a good marine stereo system or boat speakers then you can contact with Gold Coast Car Audio. We have all you need to make your journey in your vehicle an enjoyable one.

What is the difference between GPS Tracking and Navigation?

GPS or Global Positioning System is an incredible technology that can be used by everyday people nowadays. GPS technology can determine your position on the globe with accuracy.

How does GPS work?

GPS works in a very simple way. The satellites can track a GPS receiver (the device which we use to track something). Then it sends the positional information. Then our car stereo can use the information and place the location on a map.

Difference between GPS Navigation and Tracking

The GPS navigation or tracking both have different uses and purpose, but both of them use a GPS system.

Navigation: The navigation is used in transport, it can be a car, ship or even an aeroplane. The navigation is used for locating a destination and reaching that point.

Tracking: The tracking can be used on anything that is needed to be tracked, including transport, humans, animals, products or device etc.

Let’s get to know about the differences between them.

The flow of Information:

In the Navigation System, the GPS locates the position of the transport and sends the information to the driver by decoding it in a map. It also locates the destination point where the transport is willing to go. It is because of the GPS navigation that a driver gets turn by turn directions.

In the Tracking System, just like the navigation system, the GPS locates the position of the transport or anything with a GPS receiver. But unlike the navigation system, the information of the location goes to someone who wants to monitor the entity with the GPS receiver.

Purpose:

The purpose of using GPS navigation is to reach a destination point or identifying one’s own position in the map.

The purpose of tracking is to identify something or someone else’s position on a map.

Use:

The GPS navigation will navigate you to your desired point. No matter where you live on the globe, GPS navigation will work. If you want to reach a destination but you don’t know how to get there then GPS navigation can take you to your destination.

The GPS tracker will simply track your current location or movements. If you are a business owner and want to monitor deliveries for example, then you can track their position and their movement speed using a GPS tracker.
