Product Summary
The Open Speaker, designed for the study of sound wave properties, features a high-quality, 13.3 cm woofer mounted on a sturdy base with standard banana jack inputs. The Open Speaker is designed without a speaker cabinet to reduce the resonance of the air surrounding the rear of the speaker, thus making the Open Speaker perfect for resonance experiments wherein students can clearly hear resonant frequencies.
