As sound card manufacturers update their software, they add new features and controls that let you customize your sound card to suit your preferred audio setup and style.
With an updated sound driver, you can control the number of audio channels, the sample rate, and adjust the volume of individual speakers in your home or studio speaker system. Recording artists and studio professionals can benefit from additional controls over audio input feeds, letting them fine-tune their sound output to fully exploit their specialized audio hardware. Outdated or faulty drivers are a common cause for sound problems. Even Microsoft themselves want you to keep your drivers current — in fact, updating your drivers is solution 6 in their official Windows audio troubleshooting guide , right after making sure everything is plugged in properly.
Much like sound drivers can fix sound problems, updating your graphics driver can address a range of graphics-related issues, including program crashes. Having current drivers is rarely a bad idea.

They can come in many shapes and sizes, but the cone-shaped driver is perhaps the most familiar to the general public. Our selection of Speaker Drivers here are all the classic conical type, although other types such as speaker tweeters and horns are also available in our store.
The replacement woofers are built to accentuate the low end of your music, providing a way to hear bass frequencies clearer. You'll also find a selection of replacement midrange speakers most known as "drivers" designed for the augmentation and customisation of existing PA speakers or similar.
Drivers are essential to a speaker, it is through the driver that any sound can effectively reach your ears, thus sometimes customers do not need a brand new speaker but merely only need a set of replacement woofers.
There is not a driver currently in existence which can comfortably handle a full range of frequencies all alone which is why woofers, midrange drivers and tweeters all have an important job to do. Tweeters deal with the high-end frequencies above Hertz Hz in your music or more specifically the treble in your mix and will accentuate instruments such as strings, piano or upper octave keyboard notes.
Midrange frequencies are anything between Hz and Hz and will bring forth sounds such as guitars or tom drums and your bass is anything below Hz which of course works the bottom end of the range. Speakers that have multiple drivers built within are called full-range speakers and use multiple drivers to achieve a wider spectrum of audio output.
Both woofers and replacement midrange drivers remain some of our best selling items as music lovers get the very most from their speaker cabinets. The drivers can also be used in car sound systems to boost your listening experience when on the move, with multiple sizes to suit the spacial capacity of most modern four-wheel vehicles.
Those in need of a replacement woofer should consider calling our customer service team, if in need of advice. Subwoofers are made up of one or more woofers mounted in a loudspeaker enclosure—often made of wood—capable of withstanding air pressure while resisting deformation.
Subwoofer enclosures come in a variety of designs, including bass reflex with a port or passive radiator in the enclosure , infinite baffle, horn-loaded, and bandpass designs, representing unique tradeoffs with respect to efficiency, bandwidth, size and cost.
Passive subwoofers have a subwoofer driver and enclosure and they are powered by an external amplifier. Active subwoofers include a built-in amplifier.
Scan-Speak Discovery series is new to the loudspeaker market, but its defining characteristics are well known: superior sound, a solid construction, and a wide range of variants. Combining these three elements - plus a wealth of technical features and finesses - gives our customers the possibility of acquiring a tailor-made Scan-Speak solution at a lower price point compared to our other product lines.
Woofers Examine the wide range of midwoofers, woofers and subwoofers, and discover the benefits of superb mid- and low frequency performance. Ranging in size from 15 - 30cm, they meet several ambitions and goals, such as a linear frequency response and high sensitivity.
With black coated fibreglass cones and rubber surround, they are built for performance. Venting the aluminium baskets below the spider reduces compression, providing an improved sound. Note that all sizes are available in both 4 and 8 ohm variants.
It features a wide dispersion, high output 92dB 1W and natural clean and undistorted sound as well as compact mounting dimensions. Within midrange products, you'll find the 10F cone full range unit. It is excellent for midrange reproduction, due to its compact and very powerful neodymium motor along with the black coated fibreglass cone and rubber surround.
It tops out by producing 90dB 2. The aluminium basket contributes to the robustness of the design. The sound quality offered by this driver is a leader in the market.
You can also count on the 15M cone midrange to be there when and where you need it. With a 25mm voice coil and ferrite magnet system, it provides high sensitivity.
With special attention being paid to the diaphragm and surround as differentiating parts of the product, it provides excellent midrange reproduction, complementing the woofers and midwoofers of the Discovery line. Tweeters Whether you prefer dome or ring dome tweeters, Discovery has your needs covered. Add the very wide dispersion of the DX variant, along with the very low distortion of the XT variant, and some timeless units are born.
This driver has been designed as a very price competitive alternative to our Scan-Speak 1" classic tweeters. Scan-Speak Classic line consists of all the highly-regarded drivers that have been praised and loved by so many customers over the years. This family consists of a collection of star products developed over the years.
They are speakers that fully live up to the heritage of the Scan-Speak brand. The longevity and strength of these designs has been proven through decades of sales and manufacturing. The first version of the SD system was patented in High-quality magnet system design has thus been a key feature of Scan-Speak design since the company's inception.
Several of the Classic line speakers have been attempted to be copied by others. But the same quality and the same success as the original Scan-Speak design has never been duplicated. They have enjoyed success for more than 35 years. The 13M midrange is a unique midrange, famous for utilising a dust cap made of a tweeter textile dome.
The Classic 18W and 21W designs are also highly praised, and are used in some of the most exceptional high-end products. Some feature Kevlar cones; others have the innovative Carbon fibre paper cones, aside from their availability in classic hard paper and polypropylene. The woofers - 18W and especially 21W and 25W - are known for a relatively shallow design, suitable where not much depth is available behind the drivers.
These designs all represent the heritage of Scan-Speak. They are products designed right from the beginning, and have proven to be long-term successes in the market. They were designed by excellent engineers, based on craftsmanship and technological excellence, and combined with an audiophile approach, where all designs are evaluated by the human ear.
It has consistently provided the best sounding products that money can buy. The most recent generation of Revelator tweeters was introduced just a few years ago. The large roll surround technology represented a breakthrough in overall performance, with outstanding off-axis response, high output capability and low resonance frequency. Additional enhancements have been made to reduce distortion and power compression, such as large neodymium magnet systems for high sensitivity, and a careful design to optimise airflow in the chambers.
The new tweeter series consists of a popular dome design, which has since been attempted to be copied by other loudspeaker manufacturers. But no one has ever been as successful as the original Scan Speak design! The Revelator tweeter series also consists of the revolutionary ring radiator design, which put an end to some of the design trade-offs in dome designs. The ring radiator still offers unrivalled performance. The Revelator series of midwoofers was introduced just before the the tweeters.
The sliced paper cone technology represented a breakthrough in midrange clarity and overall smooth frequency response characteristics. The slices are filled with damping glue, which dramatically reduce break-up modes in the diaphragm. The design of the Revelator sliced diaphragm has also been attempted to be copied. The lack of an application of damping to other designs keeps the copycats from providing a quality driver. The Revelator series of woofers and subwoofers is the most recent addition to the series.
Generally, it series provides much more cone excursion than previously available, a much more powerful magnet system, and 2" voice coils with high power handling. Among other features, the subwoofer design utilises a strong and stiff aluminium cone design, resulting in an impressive transient response.
The output is exceptionally true-to-life, with an earthshaking bass that challenges the listener to tell the difference between the real thing and its reproduction. Design know-how reaches new levels of sound performance in Illuminator products. Powerful neodymium motors with under-hung voice coil configuration serve as uniting design elements. They provide large linear excursion capability.
The Illuminator tweeters are built on the heritage of the renowned Revelator D29 and R The compact size is one of the key elements of the Illuminator tweeter design. This small size is employed without compromising sound quality, either. The compact design also provides a high degree of flexibility within design options for our customers. The sound quality of these tweeters is fully comparable to the renowned Revelator designs, no matter if the music is played at high or low listening levels.
The Illuminator midrange and woofers are based on compact under-hung motor systems with large neodymium ring magnets. The patent-pending motor offers a very long linear excursion, along with a very high force factor. The top plate is shaped to guide the backside airflow around the motor. Finally, the open cast aluminium chassis design of the driver is virtually free from compression. During the design phase, extreme care and attention has been put into providing midrange clarity beyond anything previously available on the market.
