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 A-pillar location positions speakers at the upper front corners of the cabin interior, mounted within the trim panels flanking the windshield on the left and right sides.
- A-pillar mounting places speakers at roughly ear level for front-seat occupants, orienting the driver toward the listening axis more directly than door-mounted positions.
- The 2018 Audi SQ5 A-pillar accommodates a 1-inch speaker diameter, a size class associated with compact tweeter drivers designed for high-frequency reproduction.
- A 1-inch driver in the A-pillar of the 2018 Audi SQ5 operates within a shallow, narrow trim cavity, which constrains the depth and baffle area available for the speaker chassis.
- Tweeters handle the upper portion of the audible frequency spectrum, generally reproducing frequencies from approximately 2,000 Hz up to 20,000 Hz or beyond.
- High-frequency sound waves are highly directional, meaning the physical aim of an A-pillar-mounted tweeter toward the listening position has a significant effect on stereo imaging and treble presence at the front seats.
- At 1 inch, the diaphragm surface area is small, which is acoustically appropriate for a tweeter since smaller diaphragms move air efficiently at high frequencies without the mass penalties that degrade treble response in larger drivers.
- The A-pillar placement separates the tweeter from the midrange or woofer drivers typically located in the doors, allowing the high-frequency source to be positioned independently for soundstage height and width.
