- Just one speaker can reproduce an entire orchestra of sounds. How is this possible? The design is deceptively simple, with incredibly complex potential.

At render time, I had an issue I didn't catch until the video had a lot of views (so I can't replace it easily): the voice coil is off center. It should sit centered with the magnet top plate and pole piece, as shown in this diagram from Wikipedia: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cd/Speaker-cross-section.svg
Wow! Your animations are absolutely incredible. You got a new sub from me. Thank you for your hard work!!!
Oh, you had an error? You had one, measly little error in your magnificent ballet of a video, that crammed more education and delight into one video than I can remember seeing in any other? That had an education and delight quotient so high that it cannot be displayed on calculators made before 1986? My condolences, your mother must be ashamed of you.
Please make a video about various transducers used in Headphones and IEMs such as dynamic drivers, planars, balanced armature, and electrostats. 🥺
Hi dear Hard worker.
Which software do you use for simulating or modeling?
@@amir136712017 in the comments of his F1 video, he says he uses Blender.
When you study technology, you realize how miraculous it is, and how the average person wouldn't know where to begin to reacquire it if they ever lost the technology they take for granted every day.
It's even more so nowadays. In 2000-2009 I and some of my friends were totally obsessed with the technology and the future - as many was before us too. Heck, the sense of coming up hi-technology era was all over the place, hense the cyberpunk genre, industrial music, all the subcultures and different forms of art that happened in awe to whats coming. My friend weared small CPU from a cell phone as an earing, lol. Looking back, it feels like the Lovecraftian's novel - people praying old god to awaken. We were so out of our minds for the future... and then future happened. Intraweb's Cthulthu stepped out of the ocean, and devoured us all.
Sadly, the "new" god has really bad taste. Dickpics, SJW and multi-genders, Tik-tok, Belle Delphine, iPhone, and all-seeing eye of Facebook and Google... Who'd know that the face of the future is a Tyler1, and sound of the future is a hyena-laugh. If humanity somehow loses technology - that's gonna be basically death of majority of people, due to an end of lifeless egocentric communities, with all them beauty-bloggers, cam-models and twitter-warriors, not even speaking about basement-dwellers with their Call Of Duty all over your mother. It's just traumatizing, to realise how deep in worthless and useless shit is a mind of average normal person. How far it is from divinity of life and reality itself, that only can be grasped slightly by knowledge, understanding of things, empathy and attention to details of every thing and every minute in life of self and others.
@@vladimir_ckau Would you mind recommend me some books to learn more and acquire REAL knowledge? Thank you.
I was literally thinking the same exact thing while watching the video and it's crazy I scroll down and see a comment about it
Why the pessimism here? First, plenty of people study engineering precisely to design, test, and make devices like this. It's not uncommon; these comments exaggerate. A surface-level RUclips video won't make you that much more knowledgable than the average person.
Second, in our modern world, it's impossible to have years worth of highly specialized knowledge in everything (medicine, engineering, food supply, transportation, etc). Since when is it necessary to know how everything works in order to appreciate it?
@@davidb5205 Since consumerism. Yes, knowing how things work is not quite necessary to appreciate them. No, modern men aren't capable of doing that, until they are exposed to the beauty of "how it works" and "complex while simple" overview. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Not in the ONE book to read them all that previous bloke asked about (lmao!), and not in the surface-level YT videos.
the most underrated animation channel , you've got some serious talent bro
It’s multiple people
I agree 100% I was amazed by the flow, simplicity and ease of understnding of the presentation. I am a science teacher presentation is what I, all teachers do on a daily basis . This was excellent presentation.
@@bennybooboobear3940 This video was made completely by myself, including all animation and voice-over. I've worked as an agency in the past for private work but my RUclips is all me :D
Agreed
420 th like 😂 congratulations
THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. That’s why a single speaker is able to create a symphony - it just combines the sound of every instrument’s frequency into one. Now it makes sense why multi-speaker setups increase the quality of the sound. Different frequencies can be divided amongst the speakers, allowing for a higher range in each speaker. Awesome explanation!
+ it's why a vinyl record can reproduce a full range of sounds from a single point (the tip of the needle)
... And why digital audio cables can transmit sound through pulses of light alone.. :)
Oh, and it's why 'phase' matters.
If 2 soundwaves are identical, but exactly out of sync, the result is silence (because the sum of +1 and -1 equals zero)...
And if they are IN sync... The result is twice as loud
Multispeaker setups increase the quality of the sound more because they can introduce delay to provide a sense of depth and space. That is why mono vs stereo exists and multichannel audio sounds so much better. This is boosting the quality more than being able to divide up the frequencies.
I still can’t get how amazing speakers are into my head, to mimic such a vast amount of sounds so perfectly. As far as I’m concerned, it’s magic.
When you realize the speaker in the video was mimicking YOUR speaker during this video
Lol yes😅👍👍👍
Yes im
Immediately
I watched this a lil baked and it was so interesting and fun!
@@gabriel_bp_id well that's a speaker too, just like the one in the video
I am always amazed by how speakers are able to produce such range of sounds, by using a single diaphragm, and many of them together such as in music or songs!!!
the same thing amazes me so much too
It's simple actually, if you consider the fact that your ears also just receive very complex vibrations. Waves can be summed together into a single wave, and this actually happens in real life when your ears pick up several sources of sound in your environment, those waves interfere with each other before reaching your ear. All sound waves can also be deconstructed into sine waves, which is the most pure form of sound (or signal!), a perfectly clean vibration. In reality, sound waves are just a bunch of sine waves summed together at different amplitudes and frequencies, if you look at it that way.
I recommend learning about fourier transform which is how you can measure frequencies from a single wave on a spectrum, it might help you understand how it all works together.
@@Enitoni2 What's also cool is how your brain can separate various sounds and enable determining what they are. Many years ago I was taught Morse Code in the military and had to listen to hours of transmissions and transcribe them. One training course was about being able to identify the Morse Code sound while "jamming" sounds, like quickly changing high pitch-to-low pitch frequencies were overlaid on it to make it very difficult to detect.
Well they cant unless you are using headphones. There is no option that one speaker will reproduce whole frequency range. Two is hard three is optimal
Then combine it with video
Jake. This is one of the best ‘how it works ’ type videos I’ve seen. No doubt your ‘animagrafs’ here are expertly crafted -world class. Hat’s off. It’s world class because I can’t imagine a better narration, the voice soothingly delivering a well thought explanation with a deliberate, steady pace. I can’t wait to watch the rest of your videos.
Incredible video, the animation is really good, the explanations are clear and simple. Can't wait for the following !
This was excellent. You deserve a lot more subscribers.
Why
Just done subscribing huhu
Yes so true
The clip of the speaker bouncing on sound waves was the best visual reresentation of music i have seen
the timing of the actual sound, soundwave animation, and speaker movement is superb!
The fact that you don't get millions if views makes me sad.
go and check there website it has even more interesting infographics
It will for sure.
Seems like it's easy to make you sad.
I hope you don’t give up, because you are the best I’ve ever seen. Well written, direct to the point with an excellent voice for this along with great animation.
Your skill of fully articulating every working process in your videos is astonishing. just incredible.
this is the most underrated RUclips channel I've ever seen.
This is one of the best visualizations of speakers and sound waves I've ever seen! Thanks for putting it out!
Dang I’m impressed. That was amazing. The explanations were in depth yet simple, and the animations were awesome. Good job!!!
It cannot get more clearer than this... This explains every doubt that I had from childhood. Thanks for this.
I just watched a couple of videos but every one is perfectly visualized and explained. I'm a mechanical engineer with 27 years of field experience but there are still more to learn from your videos. Thanks!

Him: "A G note"
The animation: Hitting the E string
Me as a guitarist: "
Don't look at that you'll have nightmares"
First thing I noticed when he said “G note “ 😂
@@skirowx8709 at least the piano was right.
Drop G tuning
@@Luca-wt4dn Of course
Me who understands he's not a musician, and he makes great educational content: "Shut the hell up."
6:56 I can't explain, but in this single moment the animation turns the speaker back at its original form while it plays and vibrates with the sound, I've got emotional... Gorgeous and why not, very touching video...
okay, so question.. if the pitch (low/high [bass/treble]) is adjusted by the speaker moving harder/slower - how does one single speaker reproduce both of those, at the same time? for example, when a song has very deep and low hz bass, but very high vocals at the same time. how can the speaker reproduce that sound simultaneously when in fact, It has to either move slower for bass, and faster for vocals?
Been watching a lot of videos on sound and came across this, the animation is *SO* *GOOD* man. I wish you had more videos on your channel! You clearly know what you are talking about and the animation is clean, precise, accurate, and aesthetically pleasing to watch. This is the stuff the internet was made for
The legend returns!!!
This is one of the most amazing, concise and yet detailed enough explanation I have seen. Wonderful!
Extremely well thought out, well done
The section where you played the music, driver movement and recreated the wave pattern is just INSANE!!! Amazing work.
you sir, SURELY will be successful with this level of detail into these animations. Well done!
I haven't a clue how your channel hasn't got more subscribers your animations and explanations are fantastic ❤️❤️❤️
This is amazing work!!!
Fantastically helpful and well made video!
Dude you're back! I was so bummed when I found your videos and then saw it was all a year old and the channel seemed ded.
Your animations are really great - keep it up!
I graduated in Computer Networking, we obviously had this in our classes and how it works, but your animations & explanation were much better than any study materials we had.
wow. incredible video you have created and edited. sublime. thank you and bravo!
Perfect. Thank you
Wow! Great presentation! Although I knew the basics from the high school physics, to see it in this video is like re-learning it all over again but with much more clarity.
The amount of details and quality of this video are insane. I thought this channel had millions of subscribers.
This really helped me conceptualize sound waves so much better; thank you!
This is such a great visualisation of concepts I have only ever dealt with on paper. Thanks for this!
how amazing and informative is this video, love it! thanks for sharing with us!
Possibly my favorite video ever, so detailed yet simplified, and summarizes so much on sound in just a few minutes
Truly an amazing video, thanks a million
This is the best video on sound physics I've ever seen. Thank you for putting this brilliant piece together, and making it so easy to understand
Awesome animation and clear/thorough explanation. Great job
You made it where a very complex subject I was completely able to understand watching the whole video once which not many channels have done for me. Now if there was a guy like you who could explain how to program in Java and python then I could finally have some fun on the computer.

Let's look at each part, in depth:
_ᵗʰᵉ ᵐᵒᵗᵒʳ_
This is awesome!
Nicely made video.
Also Loved how the woofer matches the kick at the end. Great job in making a clear short video with nice detail and 3d animation, quality stuff👌
I learned allot from a single video more than the entire year of my high school. Thank you
More videos please, you are amazing. Cover music gear, phones, grinding mill, human body parts (brain, ear, eyes etc). Your animation and explanation is one of the best content one could get.
Excellent video! Going to share!
the information you display really shows your work as well - the graphics are minimal and clear and the explanations are awesome. Great work - I hope to see this channel grow and will remember to hire you for any 3d illustration - thanks for providing this as a service too!
It mostly explained everything I wanted to know about how speakers replicate sound and did a much better job than anywhere else ever has.
These animations are great and educational! It's so sad that the algorithm just
Ignores channels like yours because of the long upload space. I cant wait to see more of these in the future.
Best explanation ever. Amazing how you give the perfect amount of info to lead to a true understanding of the information. Just wow.
This is an outstanding animation - i'm using it in my electronic music synthesis course today!
As a science geek, a technology enthusiast, a content creator, I think there’s just SO much to love in this one video!
Watching and listening to this using my speakers at the same time. Im learning at the same time as im also using the object in the video :)
Hahaha. This, or how a display works are using the object talked about 😀
That was incredible. Simple explanation with detailed and clear animation to brilliantly demonstrate the entire process. Thank you.
Incredible Jacob. Really. Im a music producer and mix engineer, this is perfectly accurate, and i learned a thing or two about the parts that make up my monitors. Subbed
You make content that is extremely easy to understand. I love how you’re explaining simple science 😂 keep making videos please
Natural teacher👩🏫
How did someone even think of this, like it blows my mind 🤯
Same. It's a miracle
It gets better when you remember speakers have been around for over 100 years
Thousands of hours of experimentation, trial and error and creativity
I am sound engineer, working with music. And this video demonstrates the process very accurately! Like nothing I saw on RUclips.
Thank you
Simply Explained the complex process. Very Nice.
Fantastic 👏 👏 👏
Maybe create a part 2 on how audio systems separate signals to woofers, mids, and tweeters? Or at least cover their individual designs or any sort of topic that differentiates them.
Really enjoyed this!
crossovers!
@@iRichardRD Not sure I understand haha
Thankyou. Now im conscious of my eardrum🥲
This is brilliant. The graphics, the explanation, everything. Congratulations.
I do not have enough words to describe how much i loved this video, the animations are perfect ! The explanations are so amazing, I just want to thank you for this brilliant work. To me, there is no better way to understand and visualize a speaker than watch this video. This is the ultimate speaker explanation animation.
Trust me: I have done amateur Loudspeaker Design for 25 years and invested thousands of dollars. I am FASCINATED with magnetism/motors. Congratulations on a FANTASTIC explanation which goes into a ton of detail for only ten minutes!!
❤⚙
Your animations are fantastic. Need more “how shit works” videos!!!
Definitely the best animation made in RUclips , the flow and the presentation of the video are absolutely flawless.
This was the best video I’ve could ever seen in my entire life explaining sound.
Wow!
thank you so much!
I´m wondering what software or softwares do you use to animate
so nice and full of knowledge
Yeah me too... Do you know whatsoftware he uses?
@@vonpacilan6881 blender
0:23 why do you say "the motor" so creepily right here? XD
Lol, ye
Its actually a magnet lol
The best video among all I've watched yet about music and speakers. Animation is just on point and delivers clear information.
Mindblown. This was so easy to understand. Perfectly built up. Very thorough.
12 years learning about sound wave. and I never know about this... why. this is a great visual 3:40
Can anyone tell me what music in 6:05?
Its sounds so majestic
the visual animations and the explanations are pretty very good i'd never seen such an amazing video till now in you tube , loved it.
Thank you for this excellent explanation. This video has answered some questions I've had for a long time and to which I couldn't find a clear answer to. Great job!
This will still and always be alien technology to me 💀
Go look at hawker harriers
@@cunnieseverywhere ooo ok O,,O
6:16 maybe not _impossibly_ complex? Just being pedantic. 😉
That was so well done. You perfectly explained what I was trying to understand. Thank you!!!
Awesome, tnx for every particle of energy you spent to make this great video🤩
Phenomenal video. Explains everything perfectly clear, and explains everything.
Thank you very much for the explanation with motion.
These animations are great along alongside a clear explanation 👌
Thank you for this - it is both rich in content and (remarkably) easy to grasp. Exceptionally good teaching! (So much thought and effort must have gone into this to make it so clear; very impressive!)
Amazing work! The explanation is both correct and very easy to understand. Kudos to your work.
very nice explanation, using precise words and explanation at right time.
This is the kind of animation and explanation that amazes me more than any other videos in youtube! Hoping for more bro! Good job!
I can imagine how much knowledge and creativity do need to create these animations. Hat's off man!
The explanation and animation can't be any better than this.... Great work 👍👍👍
omg, aweeesome video with incredible illustrations. thank you!!!
That answered all my questions.
Thank you ❤
The best visual explanation I've ever seen! Thank you.
Besides the topic, I was captivated by your detailed technical description along with the animation
Great work👍❤️
Wow thanks for that elaborate graphical explanation
Wooow this is amaznig. For some reason I kept this among the "Watch later" section for way too long, thinking it's not a very exciting equipment. But it turns out to be one of my favorite of all Animagraffs video.
Thank you so much for creating these!
The best explanation I've seen, thank you.
