Anatomy of a Speaker

Anatomy of a speaker

We divided the speaker into 5 regions when capturing the impulse responses:

Dust Cap

Cap/Cone

Cone

Cone/Edge

Edge

The dust cap is the center of the speaker and has the brightest tonal quality. As the microphone moves towards the edge the speaker takes on darker tonal qualities.
