What is a mid -range speaker?

Question

and why do people complain that their speakers dont have it

Answer 1

Commonly a mid-range speaker in a home theater is the speaker that reproduces the main voice, or while playing music is what gets the violin, the guitar, the piano if instrumental or the voice. (carry the mid-range tones of bass and tremble)

Comparison with other measures

Efficiency

Despite its drawbacks, in some cases it is useful: the midrange is a highly efficient estimator of μ, given a small sample of a sufficiently platykurtic distribution, but it is inefficient for mesokurtic distributions, such as the normal.

A limited amount of experimental work on the efficiency of measures of central tendency for small samples by William D. Vinson reveals the following facts, where γ2 is the coefficient of excess kurtosis, defined as γ2 = (μ4/(μ2)²) − 3.

Kurtosis (γ2) Most efficient estimator of μ

-1.2 to -0.8 Midrange

-0.8 to 2.0 Arithmetic mean

2.0 to 6.0 Modified mean

This generalization holds for sample sizes (n) from 4 to 20.

When n = 3, there can be no modified mean, and the mean is the most efficient measure of central tendency for values of γ2 form 2.0 to 6.0 as well as from −0.8 to 2.0.

Answer 2

It's a loudspeaker driver that produces the frequency range from approximately 300–5000 hertz is known as a mid-range. They are also called, "Squakers".

Usually you would utilize mid-range speakers in a multi speaker setup. They sort of act like a mid range subwoofer. So you have tweeters that pick up high end music tones sub woofer for low end and "Mid-Range" to kind of balance the two. commonly you would use a mid-range speaker in a 3-way setup. I hope this helps you out....

People usually dont complain about it too much that Ive ever heard. There are people though that have a exemplary sound systems and they utilize a cross over network, which you would implement the mid-range speaker to balance everything out.

Answer 3

In a two-way system there is a woofer and tweeter that together produce the range of frequencies.

In a three-way system a mid-range speaker produces a mid-range of frequencies. This places less burden on the woofer and tweeter, typically reducing distortion. However a carefully designed crossover network is normally required for good results. The layout of the enclosure and placement of speakers has an important role too.

I don't know about complaints. It's certainly not the end of the world. Many two-way systems perform very well. A three-way system is not critical. There are also four-way systems.

In a system with a sub-woofer, you have in effect a three-way system, but the ranges are shifted down. The sub handles the lowest frequencies. That allows the woofer to perform more easily into the mid-range.
