Details Hits: 9491 LOUDSPEAKER PHYSICS: PART 5,DIAPHRAGM SHAPE AND DIRECTIVITY Up to this point the key issues of the discussion were how a loudspeaker diaphragm oscillates and how this creates pressure waves. For the first issue a conventional model for diaphragm was used, that of the ' rigid piston '. For the second one, we assumed that a loudspeaker is surrounded by a very large plane (infinite baffle) . These assumptions let us focus on diaphragm oscillation facing front and rear-side radiation loads. We presented two major speaker configurations: the Closed- and Vented-Box along with their amplitude, velocity and SPL responses. In this article we investigate how things change for a conically shaped non-rigid diaphragm of a real-life woofer driver. We also try to study how a loudspeaker emits sound waves off its conventional axis of radiation.

Such a geometry includes the box and the ports -if any- as well. The optimum amount of sound absorbing material is also expected to be determined.

We presented second order filter topologies for a two way speaker system. In this section we will start from the point where we left the acoustic branches and their components. Read more: The Design Protocol:Part 3f,Crossovers - Summing Up the Two Acoustic Branches Details Hits: 7744 WHAT TO EXPECT FROM CROSSOVER DESIGN SOFTWARE Generally speaking crossover design software combines loudspeaker SPL responses (that we have previously measured) with filter circuit data (also defined by us, the designers). This allows for the prediction (simulation) of overall speaker SPL responses which -in turn- verify whether design targets have been achieved or not.
