I’m an audiophile and home theatre enthusiast. I keep hearing the term “passive radiator” and when I google it everything just goes over my head. Can someone explain like I’m 5?
In: Technology
It’s a speaker that doesn’t have any of the electromagnetic parts. It is placed in the same housing as a normal speaker and is moved by the sound vibrations coming from that speaker through the frame of the box and the air inside it. It’s effectively an additional way to tweak the sound and the electricity-to-sound conversion efficiency beyond just changing the shape of the speaker box. Basically simulates the better bass sounds of a much larger speaker housing.
