Using Speakers and Function Generators

Hello, can I connect function generator and the speaker directly? Is it safe to do so?

Probably safe until you apply power to the device.

Have your movie recorcer running when you power up, you could get some very interesting pictures.

Many function generators have a 50 Ohm output impedance, the speaker possibly has 8. See something wrong here. Also the function generator probably was not designed to drive an inductive load, see a problem.

The best solution is to place an amplifier between the speaker and function generator with the speaker connected to the OUTPUT.
