Glossary of Terms

Coaxial Design: 

• Is a loudspeaker design that in which the individual driver units radiate sound from the same point or axis.

Frequency response: 

• A measurement, in hertz, of speakers ability to produce sound from low bass to high treble. This measurement includes a range of an acceptable tolerance stated in decibels, For example frequency response of a device would be expressed as: 35 Hz to 20 kHz (± 3 dB). Human hearing covers a range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz. 

IMPP cone woofer

• Injection-Molded Polypropylene

Power Handling (RMS):   

• RMS power is the average power that a speaker can handle on a daily basis without compromising sound quality or experiencing any distortion.  This should not be confused with "Peak Power Handling" which is the highest power level that a speaker or a subwoofer can handle in a short burst without blowing.

Sensitivity:

• A measurement of a speaker’s efficiency, or how much sound is produced for a given input level. Higher sensitivity numbers mean the monitor will play louder with a given input signal. Written as dB SPL output for a given input, like 90dB/1milliwatt. Doubling the power (mW) will increase the loudness by 3 dB.
