Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space taken up by the product's body or, in simpler terms, the space the product fills. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 takes up 10,578.43cm³, it is important to know the space that the speaker takes up just so as to ensure that it will easily fit in the available space next to your other gadgets. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4's volume is 11,528.66cm³ meaning it occupies more space than the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 by cm³ We prefer a lower weight better for the reason that lighter devices are more comfortable to carry.
A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4, at 2,060g is lighter than the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 by g. Most of the time a genuine quality system is a little bit heavier than average quality products though If you will need to change the position of the soundbar after some time, then you should opt to purchase a lighter soundbar.
The height represents the vertical dimension of a device, Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 has a height of 284mm. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4, at 260mm is shorter than the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 with a difference -24mm The width represents the horizontal dimension of a device, Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 has a width of 291mm. The Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4, at 278mm is smaller in width than the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 by -13mm The thickness (or depth) of Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 is 128mm, to know the thickness of the speaker you divide its volume(space occupied) by the surface area( length by width) Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 has a thickness of 159.5mm, hence thicker than the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 by 31.5mm The driver unit is the component that produces sound in the device, its size dictates the loudness of the headphone.
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 driver unit is 120mm in diameter, bigger drivers are more powerful and can produce better bass. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 driver unit is 20mm in diameter,
which means that they have a smaller driver unit than that of Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 by 100mm
, many people have a misconception that driver units of a bigger size automatically produce better sound quality.
However, large drivers usually have difficulty reproducing high frequencies so yeah, larger drivers can generate louder sound, but this does not mean that they produce better sound.
A speaker driver is an individual transducer that converts electrical energy to sound waves. Drivers come in different sizes and modes, but generally, you'll find three types: tweeter driver, which handles the high-frequency treble range (above 2,000 Hz), and midrange driver: which handles the midrange frequencies (200 Hz to 2,000 Hz). Woofer driver: handles the low-frequency bass range (below 200 Hz).
Based on the frequencies they handle more drivers may result in better sound quality, Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 has 2 only. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 has 2 only
A passive radiator is a type of driver in speakers that can get extra power and resonance from a speaker system, usually used in smaller speaker systems.
This radiator is called passive because it is not powered by electricity but by air pressure found in speaker cones.
The sound vibrations produced by a passive radiator depend on its mass and the size of its enclosure. It is usually used in combination with a woofer to produce deep, resonant tones that would normally be produced by speakers in large boxes powered by AC.
The Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4 and Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 both have a passive radiator The signal-to-noise ratio is a measure that compares the meaningful sound a speaker produces to the level of noise produced by internal components of that speaker, the higher the number the less perceived noise. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6 has an audio signal level of 80 dB higher than the level of noise. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4, at 80dB has the same audio signal as the Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6.
Low-frequency response measures if and how well a particular audio component reproduces low audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6's lowest frequency is at 50Hz, the lower the low-frequency response, the stronger and juicier the bass. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4's lowest frequency is at 50Hz, this means that both devices produce equal bass High frequency response measures if and how well an audio device reproduces high audible frequencies and if it makes any changes to the signal on the way through.
Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, the higher the high-frequency response, the clearer and crispier the treble. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4's highest frequency is at 20,000Hz, this implies that both devices produce equal treble Your speaker's battery life will reduce over time while in use, the battery life is given by the manufacturer, and with longer battery life, you get to use it for longer and have to charge the device less often. Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 6's battery life is 8 hours Harman Kardon Onyx Studio 4's battery life is 8 hours.
