Quick Summary

A midrange speaker is an electroacoustical device used in sound reproduction systems. It is designed to reproduce sound within a specific, middle range of audible frequencies, typically falling between the lower frequencies handled by a woofer and the higher frequencies handled by a tweeter.1

While the term "midrange" can refer to a medium range of anything, in audio, it specifically denotes a speaker component that covers the middle portion of the musical pitch spectrum. This specialization allows for more accurate and detailed sound reproduction across the entire audible range (roughly 20 to 20,000 hertz).21
