Default Listed Specifications for Guitar Speaker Frequency Range

James Price wrote:


When viewing general specifications for guitar speakers,
the frequency response curve often displays a larger frequency
range than what's listed under the "Frequency Range".
If the listed frequency range is 70-5000Hz, yet the frequency
response curve shows activity below 70 Hz, is the speaker audibly
reproducing the extended lower range in the plot?
If so, what is the listed "Frequency Range" actually denoting?


** The term "frequency range" refers to the USEABLE range of frequencies the speaker will produce when used as a guitar speaker.

The response curve will normally show a wider range than this as it includes frequencies outside the usable range. Although there is no hard and fast rule, a level 10dB below the mid frequency output is no longer considered "useable".
