What are the advantages and disadvantages of full-range speakers and crossover speakers?

Advantages: 1, point sound source, so the phase is accurate; 2. The timbre of each frequency band tends to be consistent.

It is easy to bring better sound stage, image cohesion, musical instrument separation and layering.

Disadvantages: Because the design needs to meet the needs of different frequency bands, the design and final performance of each frequency band will be restricted.

The expansion of high and low frequency ends is relatively limited, and both transient and dynamic are relatively discounted.

Frequency dividing horn

Advantages: each frequency band is voiced by an independent unit, so each unit can work in the best state.

The expansion of high and low frequency is easier and better realized, and the independent intermediate frequency unit can bring extremely high playback quality and higher overall electroacoustic conversion efficiency.

Disadvantages: 1, there are timbre differences and phase differences between units; 2. The frequency division network brings new distortion to the system.

The stage, coherence, separation and level of sound are easily affected, and the timbre may be biased.

The advantages and disadvantages of the two are just the opposite.

In addition, the coaxial horn is not a full-band horn,

It is a special cross-speaker, which looks like a full-range speaker.

Coaxial horn solves the problem of phase difference, but other shortcomings of crossover horn still exist.
