Speaker equivalent circuit / electrical model
What is an analogous speaker circuit? The speaker equivalent circuit is the actual core of the theories crafted by Thiele and Small. Every component of a speaker can be “transformed”…
Speaker impedance curve explained with examples
What is impedance? Before we get the speaker impedance curve explained, let’s get down to the basics. When you apply a voltage, an electrical system will exhibit a certain amount…
Speaker electrical characteristics – electricity basics
Electronics basics Before we discuss the speaker electrical characteristics, we need to clear up some of the most elementary properties of electricity. I know for some of you, this will…
Speaker spatial loading – sound radiation
What is spatial loading? Speaker spatial loading is determined by the boundaries which are in close vicinity of the object that radiates sound. This will determine a certain load. Similar…
Passive radiator speaker design – Box calculation example
What is a passive radiator ? A passive radiator speaker design involves another speaker, but with no motor assembly. The magnet and voice coil are gone, but the cone and everything…
Total harmonic distortion tutorial (THD)
What is distortion ? In this total harmonic distortion tutorial, we’re gonna explain the different types of distortion and how they go about their business. Distortion happens when an audio…
