What are four way speakers?

Answer

A four way speaker is one which has four different types of active elements, each one suited to a specific part of the audio spectrum. Thus, it would have a 'woofer' for low bass notes, a low midrange speaker, a high midrange speaker, and a 'tweeter' for very high frequencies. A 'cross over network' inside the speaker divides up the signal coming from the amplifier, and directs the different parts of the signal to the appropriate driver, or element.
