1. Full-Range Paper Cone Speakers (Most Common)

Materials: Paper diaphragm with rubber surround, paired with a ferrite magnet.

Features:

Low cost, suitable for mid-low frequency response with a warm tone.

Commonly found in entry-level keyboards (e.g., Casio CT series, Yamaha PSR-E series).

Typical size: 4~6 inches, power rating: 5~20W (paired with built-in amplifiers).

 


2. Dual Speaker Systems (Mid-to-High-End Models)

Configuration: Two full-range speakers (either stereo or with frequency separation).

Features:

Improves soundstage width and dynamic range (e.g., Yamaha PSR-SX series, Korg PA series).

May include passive radiators for enhanced bass.

 


3. Tweeter speaker + Crossover Circuits

High-end models (e.g., Roland FP-90X, Nord Stage) may feature:

Silk-dome tweeters: Enhances clarity for piano/organ high frequencies.

Crossover circuits: Separates high/low frequencies to reduce distortion.

 


4. Passive Speakers + External Amps

Some stage pianos (e.g., Yamaha CP88) omit built-in speakers and require:

Monitor speakers (e.g., JBL EON series).

PA systems (for professional performances).

 


5. Flat Panel Speakers(vibration speaker) (Portable Designs)

Rare in ultra-thin keyboards (e.g., Roland GO:KEYS):

Lightweight flat speakers, prioritizing portability over sound quality.

 


Buying Tips:

Home practice: Built-in speakers are sufficient, namely box speaker(look for ≥10W power speaker).

Live/recording: Recommend external pro speakers (e.g., Roland KC series).

Repairs: Match impedance (typically 4~8Ω) and power when replacing speakers.
