Speakers are available in a wide range of sizes and shapes. Each speaker is designed to operate and reproduce a certain frequency range of sound. Speakers designed to handle high frequencies are called tweeters. The middle frequencies, including voice frequencies, are handled by mid-range speakers. The low frequencies are handled by woofers and subwoofers. Crossover networks are used to direct a certain frequency range to the speaker that can best reproduce it.
