Frequency response
Frequency response is an audio specification used to describe the range in which a speaker can produce sound, measured in Hertz. Human hearing generally ranges from a bass of 20 Hz to a treble of 20 kHz, so speaker ranges usually fall within these boundaries. An ideal speaker will produce sounds accurately in the range which the sound was originally recorded so that the frequency response will look "flat" on a graph, without variations that can scramble audio. While an audio system that uses a wider frequency response range can cover a wider variety of sounds, it is also important that it produces sounds accurately within that range.
