tweeter

In audio engineering, this term refers specifically to the high-frequency driver in a multi-way speaker system, contrasting with the woofer, which handles low frequencies. It is a technical term used by audiophiles and sound engineers to describe the component responsible for the clarity of treble sounds.

In a digital context, the term is a derivative of the platform name Twitter. While it describes a user of the service, its usage has become less common since the platform's rebranding to X, though it remains understood in the context of legacy social media terminology.
