TUTORIALS: A BUNCH OF MUST-READ ARTICLES
The purpose of these articles is to provide well-structured knowledge of speaker parts, their function and their practical involvement into speaker design process.
They have been organized and should be read in the following order:
- The Speaker Parts: An Overview
- How All These Work Together
- Loudspeakers And Their Responses
- Crossover Networks And Their Responses
- Building a Crossover Filter
- Lab Measurements
- A Few Words About Measurement Setup
- Loudspeaker Physics: Simple But Not Simpler
- The Design Framework
- Part 1,Speaker Configuration
- Part 2a,CB-Low Frequency Tuning
- Part 2b,VB-Low Frequency Tuning
- Part 3,Crossover Design
- Part 3a, Measurement Files and Simulation Software
- Part 3b, Circuit Topologies and Design Targets
- Part 3c, Impedance Equalization of Drivers
- Part 3d, The LF Acoustic Branch
- Part 3e, The HF Acoustic Branch
- Part 3f, Summing Up the Two Acoustic Branches
- Part 3g, Component Reduction
- Part 3h, Optimization Targets and 3-Way Speakers
- Part 3i, Additional Design Aspects
- Part 3j, Speaker Impedance Equalization
In-depth knowledge of these articles will enable their reader to understand physical laws, technical reasoning and the development of all steps, targets and manoeuvre during design procedures of HiFi Speaker Systems. Prior knowledge of complex numbers and basic voltage/current laws for simple electric circuits is necessary.
We are open to any complaints or suggestions for editing, re-phrasing or major re-structuring of any tutorial article. Our intention is to make them as efficient as possible.
Important note : Not all aspects of the central issues presented in each one of these tutorials can be covered completely. If all details were to be included for completeness their readability would be lost. For this reason we prefer to handle advanced details of an issue addressed in an article by moving their discussion in a separate article.
