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