A midrange speaker is an essential component of any audio system as it reproduces sounds in the middle frequencies range. While the term midrange speaker is commonly used, there are several synonyms that describe the same type of speaker. One alternative term is a woofer, which is a more general term for a speaker that handles the lower to mid-range frequencies. Another similar term is a mid-bass driver, which specifically refers to speakers that produce frequencies in the mid-bass range. The term squawker is also sometimes used to describe midrange speakers that produce voice or speech sounds with clarity. All of these synonyms can be used interchangeably to describe a speaker that reproduces sound in the middle frequencies range.
