satellite speaker

Auxiliary sound unit

A satellite speaker is a small speaker designed to work as part of a larger audio system, handling mid-range and high frequencies while a separate subwoofer delivers bass.

The term reflects their role orbiting a central unit: The home theater came with five satellite speakers and a subwoofer.

Their compact size makes them easier to mount or position around a room.
