Speaker grills, also known as speaker grilles, are generally found to cover various types of loudspeakers. They are designed to protect driver element and speaker internals from external impacts and penetrations from foreign objects; meanwhile, they need to let the sound clearly pass.

Speaker grills cover in front of speakers which is in the direct path of the sound, so the quality of speaker grills interacts the sound produced. Generally, there are two main types of grilles in the market: speaker grille cloth and metal speaker grill. 

Speaker Grille Cloth VS Metal Speaker Grill. 

Speaker grill cloth, made of well suited cloth, features soft structure that enable it move synchronously with the sound waves. But it offers less protection from foreign objects and is easy to get torn and stretched. In contrast, metal speaker grill, made of quality steel or aluminum, have strong and sturdy structure so that it is not free to move with the sound. Round or square holes are perforated on the grill to let the sound to pass clearly. Most of all, it can provide superb protection from external damages and not easy to get torn.

From the comparison, you will find that metal speaker grille is the best choice for long term use. However, the speaker’s output level must be considered when you are purchasing metal speaker grilles.

For example, more perforated holes on speaker grills mean a better sound effect yet less protection. Instead, too much material in front of speaker will result in distortion of high sound and sometimes may damage the speaker. So there is no a perfect speaker grill, but a suitable one to fit your speaker with an excellent combination of superb protection and sound effects. And we are specialist to help you find the combination based on your applications of speaker grills.
