Asker: Why not speaekr diameter?


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Tony M: 'driver' is a more pseudo-technical 'buzzword' for the actual speaker unit, whereas some people refer to the whole thing as a 'speaker' / M. Hosni is wrong to disagree, this term is also used very widely.

driver
pilote de périphérique/périphérique (audio)


Explanation:
Audio entre parenthèses dans le cas où cela aurait un lien avec vos demandes d'hier...
Pilote (Driver): un ordinateur est constitué d'un assemblage de périphériques. Pour pouvoir contrôler chacun de ses périphériques, le système d'exploitation a besoin d'une interface logicielle entre lui et le matériel, on appelle driver (pilote ou gestionnaire de périphérique en français) chaque programme permettant au système d'exploitation de gérer le matériel.

disagree  Tony M: Wrong sense of 'driver' in this instance: note it has a physical diameter of 40 mm — something a 'pilote' would not have!

disagree  FX Fraipont (X): Even when presented with the definition, you get it wrong. "driver : Audio. loudspeaker." https://www.dictionary.com/browse/driver?s=t

agree  Tony M: Yes, this is a word also used in FR, specifically for the 'driver' — it's pretty obviously a calque on the EN, but fills the need for a separate word

Reference: speaker driver

Reference information:
A speaker driver is an individual loudspeaker transducer that converts an electrical audio signal to sound waves. While the term is sometimes used interchangeably with the term loudspeaker (speaker), it is usually applied to specialized transducers which reproduce only a portion of the audible frequency range. For high fidelity reproduction of sound, multiple loudspeakers are often mounted in the same enclosure, each reproducing a different part of the audible frequency range. In this case the individual speakers are referred to as drivers and the entire unit is called a loudspeaker.
