Eli5 How do speakers turn signals into full sound, it could sound like you’re in front of a concert but it’s just a box
In: 10
Sound is just a pressure wave in the air.
When it comes to complex sounds, like an entire orchestra, you’re hearing the *sum* of all the pressure waves in the air, not each one individually.
Microphones act like your ear, and record the same summed wave you would hear if you were there.
Speakers simply reproduce that final summed wave that was recorded.
