History
Invention of the first Loudspeaker:
In 1867, Alexander Graham Bell constructed the first ever electrical speaker device for the purpose of building a telephone. In 1877, Ernst Siemens improved upon Bell's invention and invented a more advanced electrical loudspeaker. During the period of 1867 to 1891, physicists such as Nikola Tesla were working upon improving this idea of the loudspeaker.
Alexander Graham Bell, Nikola Tesla and Ernst Siemens (left to right) were key individuals who contributed to the development of the modern speaker.
Invention of the modern loudspeaker:
In 1898, Oliver Lodge established the modern idea of moving-coil.
