Electrostatic speakers use a thin diaphragm suspended between two perforated metal plates. When an audio signal is applied to the plates, they create an electrostatic field that moves the diaphragm, producing sound. This design offers low distortion and a fast transient response, resulting in detailed and transparent sound reproduction. However, electrostatic speakers typically require high voltages to operate and may have limited bass extension compared to dynamic speakers.
