The primary drivers in a system are designed to handle a specific range of noises depending on which driver is active at the time. If all the drivers are functioning in concert, for example, they can provide a range of music or other noises. Here is a description of the specific ranges of frequencies for which each driver is responsible.
- High frequencies above 2000 Hz are handled by the tweeter driver.
- The midrange driver handles most frequencies between 200 Hz and 2000 Hz.
- Woofer drivers deal with the bass range of sounds, which is usually anything lower than the 200 Hz range.

Although the specific requirements for adapting your vintage equipment can vary depending on the models you're using, you may be able to use these basic guidelines during your setup process:
- Plug the adapter into a power source.
- Connect the adapter to either a cable or an auxiliary port located on your equipment.
