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 Peugeot 308 dashboard speaker location accommodates a 1-inch driver across all listed model years from 2007 through 2021.
- Dashboard placement positions speakers at the base of the windshield, near the front of the cabin, which places the sound source close to the listener's ear level when measured from a seated driving position.
- The 1-inch diameter indicates a small diaphragm surface area, which is physically suited to the shallow and space-constrained cavities typically found within dashboard panels.
- A 1-inch tweeter in a dashboard location directs high-frequency sound forward and upward toward the windshield glass, contributing to a soundstage perceived at or above eye level by the occupants.
- Tweeters are transducers designed to reproduce high-frequency audio, generally covering the range from approximately 2,000 Hz up to 20,000 Hz or beyond, handling the upper portion of the audible spectrum.
- At 1 inch, the diaphragm has low mass, which supports fast transient response and accurate reproduction of high-frequency details such as cymbal overtones, vocal sibilance, and string harmonics.
- The Peugeot 308 dashboard mounting point, compatible exclusively with tweeters, indicates the location is part of a multi-speaker system where low and mid-frequency reproduction is handled by drivers positioned elsewhere in the vehicle.
- High-frequency sound waves are more directional than low-frequency waves, so the forward-facing orientation of dashboard-mounted tweeters affects the stereo imaging perceived from the driver and front passenger seating positions.
- A 1-inch tweeter requires a significantly smaller cutout and mounting depth compared to mid-range or woofer drivers, which is consistent with the limited structural depth available within a 308 dashboard assembly.
- Because tweeters operate only in the upper frequency range, a crossover network is necessary within the audio system to prevent lower frequencies from being sent to the 1-inch driver, protecting it from overexcursion.
