How are headphones with single drivers able to make sounds that are “multiple sounds at the same time?´´

483 views

So from what I know, the drivers vibrate at a given wavelength and that makes a sound. That makes sense to me of how you can create voice for example. But how does multiple instruments + voice in one driver work? You hear all them seperately but at the same time?

To me this sounds like a monitor pixel making more than 1 pixel at once.

Aside from the top comments.. what is a “driver” in your mind? It’s not a word often used to describe sound.

Some pixels for example have RGB LEDs in them. SO the Purple you are seeing is blue and red LEDs switched on, green off. It’s the same with sound. Personally i find it a bit tricky to visually imagine multiple waves at different frequencies superimposing.
