Thanks very much!

In French it's Haut-parleur (loud speaker). But the term "enceinte" is often used instead. Basically meaning enclosure. Is there a Spanish equivalent, or it is always altavoz o parlante? In American pro audio we talk about cabinets, often shortened to "cabs".

Altavoz o (Alto)parlante is the raw frame speaker

Gabinete= Cabinet means the enclosure.

Respected in Spain; here in South America it´s usually called Bafle, a corruption of Baffle but of course everybody will understand if called Gabinete.

A University Professor teaching Acoustics will call it Gabinete.

Funny, and I checked this out, the Spain form is Bafle, as confirmed both by the RAE dictionary (the most correct) and the Oxford dictionary (sometimes it has some extra words / word meanings. In Spain is pronounced BA FLIS (english I).
