What is Santoprene? Santoprene is a rubber-like material that can be used to make a speaker cone or gasket in a loudspeaker. Santoprene is often used when a lower resonant frequency is desired. With a look a feel similar to rubber, Santoprene provides a more flexible and simple design suitable for easier manufacturing. The graphic … Continue reading “Audio Dictionary: What is Santoprene”

Any loudspeaker driver is essentially an electric motor. It takes an electrical signal as input, generating motion (and sound) output. Unlike a battery’s steady input causing a wheel to continually spin, we vary the input with a signal generated from an original sound source. The motion starts with the interaction between a current-carrying conductor, the … Continue reading “A Loudspeaker Driver Breakdown”
