While I understand how a speaker works to produce sounds, the thought hit me: How can a speaker create a variety of sounds simulataneously without the sounds superimposing and coming out sounding like, well, mud?
Granted, tones are separated out by high-pitch, mid-range, and bass, but still a speaker must handle more than one tone at a time! - Jinx
A very recent thread on this same subject.
I’m always a day late and a dollar short…
I think I contributed to that other thread as well, but I think a response here might help: just remember that the sounds all enter your ear at once also. In other words, the mud that the speaker produces is the same mud that your ear (with the help of your brain) can hear.
