Full Range/Satellites
A Full-range Loudspeaker is a cabinet in which one or more individual drivers cover the whole audio frequency range. A Satellite is a cabinet that covers most of the audio range, with the exception of the very low frequencies, which are reproduced by a companion Subwoofer. Full-range and Satellite speakers are available in a number of popular configurations. A two-way cabinet commonly features an LF speaker as well as a compression driver for high frequency (HF) reproduction. A three-way cabinet features LF, HF and Mid Frequency (MF) speakers.
Compact Box Reflex
A compact sized two-way box featuring an air vent (often referred to as a port) to generate bass level.
Large Box Reflex
A large sized two-way or three way box featuring an air vent (often referred to as a port) to generate bass level.
Closed Box
Simple sealed two-way or three-way enclosure.
Dedicated Mid Range
A mid-range driver reproduces the mid-frequencies in a three-way cabinet. This could be positioned in a dedicated enclosure within the cabinet itself, or alternatively, may have a 'closed back' chassis.

A subwoofer is dedicated to the reproduction of the lowest frequencies within the audio signal. There are a number of popular designs that are used:
Reflex
The enclosure features an air vent (referred to as a port) of carefully calculated dimension in order to generate bass extension.
Horn
The cabinet incorporates an acoustic horn in which the path from throat to mouth is folded or curled to give the longest possible path in a given volume.
Band Pass
A vented box in which the contribution from the rear face of the driver cone is trapped in a sealed box, and the radiation from the front surface of the cone is into a ported chamber, to generate an extended bass response.
Scoop
This design combines a direct and a simple horn-loaded output to generate a sub-bass signal.
A word about power
There are various ways of measuring the power of a loudspeaker – some more flattering than others. Celestion uses the AES standard because it's scientific and reliable. While there is no consistent correlation between AES, EIA and Continuous Power, the scale below provides a rough guide to compare how an individual speaker might rate using each measurement method.
