How it's used
While 揚聲器 is the formal term used in technical manuals or product specifications, it is rarely used in daily conversation. Most people simply use the loanword 喇叭 to refer to any type of speaker. Using 揚聲器 in a casual setting can make you sound like you are reading from a technical document or a news report.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with the English word speaker when referring to a person who gives a speech, as 揚聲器 only refers to the electronic device.
