1
A passive radiator is
a free-sanding woofer not enclosed in a cabinet
a dummy speaker that vibrates sympathetically, used instead of a simple port opening
a high-frequency driver that doesn't require any amplification
a studio monitor that has its own built-in amplifier
2
A bi-amped speaker is
a 2-way active speaker with separate amps for the woofer and tweeter
a speaker that requires 2 external amplifiers
a speaker with 1 amp for 2 drivers (the woofer and tweeter)
a passive monitor with dual mid/low-frequency drivers
3
A subwoofer
handles all mid and low frequencies from 2-3kHz down
extends the low end, handling the lowest couple of octaves
should never be used with a crossover
reduces the level of the low end, taming overly boomy sound
4
A speaker than uses two identical drivers for the mid/low-frequency range may be referred to as
an MTO (more-than-one) design
an MFA (mid frequency arrangement) design
an MTM (mid-tweeter-mid) design
an M&M (mid+mid) design
5
A transmission line
has a more gradual low-frequency rolloff than a ported design
has a sharper low-frequency rolloff than a ported design
is a balanced cable that feeds audio into a specialized speaker
is a wireless speaker connection
6
A sealed enclosure
has a port on the rear of the cabinet
has a port on the front of the cabinet
has a slot on the front or the rear of the cabinet
completely encloses the speaker
7
A coaxial monitor achieves time-alignment between the woofer and tweeter
by positioning the tweeter in the center of the woofer
by mounting the tweeter is a physically separate cabinet
by using a tweeter that is larger than the woofer
by using the same-sized speakers for woofer and tweeter
8
A ribbon tweeter is a
plastic cone
compression driver attached to a horn assembly
plastic dome
thin lightweight metal strip
9
Placing a speaker up against a room boundary
is always required for studio monitors
will result in an overall loss of bass
will result in a build-up of bass
will have no effect on the bass
10
A speakers that makes use of a magnet and a voice coil is
a static diaphragm design
a moving-coil design
an electrostatic design
an electronic design
11
Sealed enclosures and vented cabinets are
speaker cabinet designs for handling the low frequencies
purely cosmetic speaker designs that have no effect on the sound
sub-assemblies specifically for the tweeter (high frequencies)
only used in very large studio monitors
12
When it comes to monitoring, most larger, professional studios utilize
more than one set of speakers
only one pair of speakers
only headphones
only earbuds
13
When listening in speakers, Inter-Aural Crosstalk means
each ear only hears the sound from the speaker on that side
the right ear only hears the sound from the left speaker
both ears hear the sound from both speakers
the left ear only hears the sound from the right speaker
14
A little technical knowledge about the different types of speaker designs
is never necessary, it's all about finding the speakers with the biggest bass
can be helpful when selecting speakers for a particular studio
will only sow confusion when selecting speakers
is never necessary, it's all about personal preference
15
A vented enclosure, also referred to as a bass reflex design
has a port (an opening in the cabinet) to minimize the bass response
completely encloses the speaker
has a port (an opening in the cabinet) to extend the bass response
always has the tweeter positioned at the center of the woofer
16
Room Correction software
is specifically designed to decrease the bass response
is a well-known scam -- the room never affects the sound of the monitors
is specifically designed to increase the bass response
measures the room's response and uses EQ to correct for frequency imbalances
17
A 5.1 surround system consists of
Three speakers in the front (L,C, R), two in the rear, and one subwoofer
Five speakers across the front and one subwoofer
Four speakers in the corners, one on the ceiling, and one subwoofer
Stereo speakers each with five woofers and one tweeter
18
A speaker crossover
sends lows to the tweeter and highs to the woofer
sends highs to the tweeter and lows to the woofer
is only used in ribbon speakers
is not needed when there are fewer than three drivers in the speaker
19
The primary speakers in a music studio should be
dedicated studio monitors
mini-speakers, like the ones in a laptop or tablet
regular hi-fi speakers
