frequency range

Spectrum of wavelengths

A frequency range is the span between the lowest and highest frequencies that a device can produce, receive, or operate within.

Audio equipment like speakers and headphones are rated by their frequency range to indicate what sounds they can reproduce, from deep bass to high treble.

This microphone has a frequency range of 20 Hz to 20 kHz.

The term applies broadly to any system dealing with waves or signals, including radio transmitters and musical instruments.
