Audi allroad Dashboard Speaker Size
The Audi allroad dashboard accommodates a 1 inch speaker size across all listed model years. Compatible types for the dashboard location include tweeter audio units. These specifications cover the 2013 to 2016 system range.
| Year | Type | Size (inch) |
|---|---|---|
| 2016 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2015 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2014 | Tweeter | 1 |
| 2013 | Tweeter | 1 |
Speaker Types
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Tweeter | A small driver built for high frequencies, typically from about 2,000 Hz to 20,000 Hz. It adds treble detail and clarity and is usually mounted near ear level or aimed at the listener. |
Additional Notes
- The dashboard location in the Audi allroad accommodates a 1-inch speaker opening across the 2013 through 2016 model years.
- A 1-inch driver is a compact, high-frequency unit whose small diaphragm mass allows rapid pistonic movement, making it well-suited for reproducing upper-frequency content in the audible range.
- The tweeter type is the only compatible speaker type for the Audi allroad dashboard, which is consistent with the physical and acoustic role of a dashboard mounting position - a location elevated and angled toward the listening area to disperse high-frequency sound toward ear level.
- Tweeters handle the upper portion of the audible frequency spectrum, generally from around 2,000 Hz upward, reproducing transients such as vocals, strings, and cymbals with directional precision.
- High-frequency sound waves are highly directional, and dashboard placement positions the tweeter to take advantage of a direct line toward front-seat listeners, reducing the tonal coloration caused by reflected high-frequency energy.
- The 1-inch diameter is a standard tweeter size that balances a wide horizontal dispersion pattern with sufficient high-frequency extension, appropriate for a near-field dashboard position in a cabin environment.
- Smaller tweeter diameters generally produce a wider dispersion angle at high frequencies compared to larger dome or horn tweeters, which suits the broad cabin coverage expected from a centrally positioned dashboard speaker.
- The physical constraints of the Audi allroad dashboard opening limit compatibility to the tweeter type, excluding mid-range or woofer drivers, whose larger diaphragms and enclosure requirements are incompatible with the shallow depth and small aperture of a dashboard cavity.
