Electronixwarehouse.com Adds New Definitions to its Extensive Car Audio/Stereo Glossary Section

PRLog (Press Release) - Apr. 18, 2012 - Long a leader in the car audio/stereo education sector, Electronixwarehouse has embarked on a project to update and revise hundreds of definitions in its extensive Glossary of audio and stereo technical terms. Acknowledging that the world of electronics is constantly changing, technical editors at the website have begun revising and clarifying certain definitions to keep up with these rapid changes. An example of one of the updates would be the definition of the term Bridge Mounted:

"Bridge Mounted (2 & 3-way speakers)
In combined 2 and 3-way speakers, which have woofers together with a Tweeter, or a Tweeter and a Midrange Driver, the smaller drivers are attached to the woofer by either one of two standard mountings.

"The bridge-mount method has a metal or plastic bridge running from one side of the woofer's outer perimeter to the other. The smaller driver or drivers, together with the Crossover network, is then mounted on the bridge. The advantage of this arrangement is that the woofer is left intact with no exposure of the voice coil or other internal elements. On the negative side, there is more covered surface area that marginally reduces the output at certain frequencies, and makes it a little more difficult to mount the unit.

"The post-mount method provides a post that is attached to the center of the inner magnetic pole, to which the other drivers are then mounted. It has a reduced obstruction to woofer dispersion, but it does require a hole in the Dust Cover/Cap that can give environmental access to the woofer's inner workings. This creates the possibility in some less well designed units of operational degradation from airborne particles over time."

The updating process is ongoing, and additional status reports will be forthcoming. The Glossary can be found within the Technical Advice and Assistance Section (http://www.electronixwarehouse.com/education/main.htm) at http://www.electronixwarehouse.com/education/glossary.htm.
