Definitions for "Surround"
To pass around; to travel about; to circumnavigate; as, to surround the world.
Flexible rubber, plastic, foam or other material that attaches a speaker driver's diaphragm (the moving cone or dome - the drive unit) to the basket (the structure holding all the parts of the speaker driver in place) and allows the diaphragm to vibrate in and out.
The surround is the flexible ring around the edge of the woofer cone — it connects the cone to the speaker basket. It must be pliable enough to let the woofer travel freely, yet strong enough to guide and control cone movement. (The further the cone can travel, the stronger the bass.) Surrounds are usually made of cloth, foam, or rubber. Rubber tends to last longest. This three-way Pioneer 6x9 features a separate woofer, midrange, and tweeter for improved clarity and detail in the bass, midrange, and high registers.
