Advanced Speaker Designs For The Hobbyist And Technican

Advanced Speaker Designs shows the electronics hobbyist and the experienced technician how to create high-quality speaker systems for the home, office, or auditorium. Every part of the system is covered in detail, from the driver and crossover network to the enclosure itself. You can build speaker systems from the parts lists and instructions provided, or you can actually learn to calculate design parameters, system responses, and component values with scientific calculators or PC software. You can also learn how to measure driver parameters and predict system responses for greater precision.

The definitive do-it-yourself book on creating & testing all kinds of speaker systems is updated for the computer age, covering the latest makes & models & featuring an innovative computer program to assist with speaker design. Previous editions of this compendium of simple-to-advanced projects have sold well, thanks to a large audience of electronics hobbyists & technicians, handy audiophiles, & libraries & technical schools. This version supplies step-by-step details on using the expanded computer program, which can be ordered at significant savings with an included coupon. It also includes new speaker tests, expanded information on crossover networks, techniques for designing double-chamber reflex enclosures, practical rather than theoretical dimension charts, & more.

Author James Barbarello shows you how to get more out of your PC than you ever imagined. Includes information on stepper motors, soldering, and the construction of a PC-controlled PCB drilling machine which can drill as many as 500 holes in a 6o x 8o PB with excellent repeatability."

This volume seeks to lay the groundwork for readers who want to understand the general functions of loudspeaker enclosure systems and eventually experiment with their own designs. Written for design engineers and technicians, students, and intermediate-to-advanced acoustics enthusiasts, it presents a general theory of loudspeaker enclosure systems. Featuring illustrated and numerical examples, the book examines diverse developments in enclosure design, and studies the various types of enclosures as well as varying parameter values and performance optimisation. Topics examined include: the synthesis of vented systems; infinite-baffle and closed-box systems; electro-acoustical relations; and reflex response relationships.
