    Default Range and Response

    I always woundered about this. Does frequency range or frequency response mean the same thing?

    more or less...yes

    The freq. range can be used to refer to any instrument(s), or whatever for that matter.
    But the freq. response is usally refering to a speakers ability to recreate a wave form.
    Hope that helps

    No they're not the same thing.

    Frequency Range is simply a continuous range of freqeuncies. it doesn't have to refer to the limits of anything. i.e 200Hz -> 300Hz

    Frequency Response describes how something responds at different freqeuencies. Usually by a graph of Level v. Freq

    Example what does this mean if the speakers specs say this?



    Frequency Range: 70 Hz - 20 kHz (-10dB)

    Frequency Response (+/- 3db) 120 Hz to 20Khz
