In free-air, the driver's # impedance will peak at this frequency. # # Pe = Thermal capacity of the driver, in Watts. If continuously # driven above its rated Pe, the driver may prematurely burn # out and fail. # # Qes = Electrical Q of the driver at Fs. Qes is a measure of the # driver's tendency to resonate at Fs, based on its # electrical characteristics, e.g. magnet strength, magnetic # circuit characteristics, etc.). The driver's overall # resonance characteristics are usually dominated by Qes. # # Qms = Mechanical Q of the driver at Fs. Qms is a measure of the # driver's tendency to resonate at Fs, based on its # mechanical characteristics, e.g. surround compliance, the # compliance of the spider, weight of the cone, etc. # # Qts = Total Q of the driver at Fs. Qts is a measure of the # driver's tendency to resonate at Fs, based on its overall # characteristics. Qts can be calculated using the equation: # # Qts= Qms*Qes/(Qms+Qes)) # # Re = DC resistance of the driver's voice coil. Re is less than # the driver's rated impedance (normally 4 or 8 ohms). # # Sd = Effective surface area of the driver. Roughly equal to the # area of the cone plus 1/3rd of the surround. # # Xmag = [DUMAX] Excursion limit due to the magnetic limitations of # the driver's motor. Xmag is defined as the displacement at # which the BL product has fallen to 70% of its value at the # cone's rest position. # # Xmech = Maximum physical excursion capability of the # driver. Exceeding Xmech normally results in damage to the # driver. # # Xsus = [DUMAX] Excursion limit due to the driver's # suspension. Xsus is defined as the point at which the # compliance of the suspension has decreased to 25% of the # value at the cone's rest position. # # Xmax = Linear (one-way) travel of the cone. Xmax is used to # determine the maximum linear SPL capability of the driver, # and can be defined in a number of ways. The DUMAX # definition is objectively the best one, and it is defined # as the shorter of the Xmag and Xsus values, in each # direction of cone travel. This definition is more useful # than the older definition of Xmax, which was solely # dependent on the length of the voice-coil vs. the length # of the gap. # # Vas = Equivalent air compliance. The volume of air that has the # same compliance ("springiness") as the driver's # suspension. Because less air is more "springy" than more # air, a large Vas represents a "loose" suspension # # Vd = Peak displacement volume. Vd = Sd*Xmax # # Port Length: # # The port length required to tune a volume of air to a specific # frequency can be calculated by using the following equation: # # Lv = (23562.5 * Dv^2 * Np / (Fb^2 * Vb)) - (k * Dv) # # where, # # Dv = port diameter (cm) # Fb = tuning frequency (Hz) # Vb = net volume (litres) # Lv = length of each port (cm) # Np = number of ports # k = end correction (normally 0.732) # # The value for k, the end correction, can be fine-tuned by using the # following values to derive the appropriate end correction figure for # each end of the port, then adding them together # # Flanged End: 0.425 # Free End: 0.307 # # e.g. if both ends were flanged, # k = 0.425 + 0.425 = 0.850 # # if one flanged, one free, # k = 0.425 + 0.307 = 0.732 # # if both ends were free, # k = 0.307 + 0.307 = 0.614 # # Normally, k=0.732 is assumed # # In practice, it's best to use ports that are slightly longer than # predicted by the above equations, then adjust their length until the # correct tuning is achieved. It is much easier to shorten a port than # to lengthen it. # # Minimum Port Diameter # # To calculate the minimum diameter of the port required to prevent # port noises, you will also need to know the following: # # Xmax = maximum linear displacement (mm) # Dia = Effective diameter of driver (cm) # Np = number of ports # # Calculate the minimum port diameter from the following equations: # # Sd = pi * (Dia / 100)^2 / 4 # Vd = Sd * Xmax / 1000 # Dmin = 100 * (20.3 * pow ((Vd^2 / Fb), 0.25)) / sqrt (Np) # # where, # # Dmin = minimum port diameter (cm) # # Note: It is possible to use ports that have a smaller diameter than # that given by the equation above, especially if the ports are flared # at both ends. However, at higher volumes, you may notice some port # noise caused by the air rushing through the ports. # # The largest port diameter possible should be used to reduce # noise/hiss. As a rule of thumb, the port diameter should be half of # the driver. # # Note: about the driver's T/S parameters Low Q (<0.3) drivers are # generally more suited to higher-order bandpass. Drivers with Qts # between 0.3 to 0.4 are usually best used in vented systems, and # drivers with higher Qts are usually best suited for sealed # systems. 4th order bandpass systems can usually work with drivers # with any Qts between 0.3 to 0.6. # # Note: the Efficiency Bandwidth Product, (EBP,) is fs / qes; for # sealed enclosures, EBP < 50; for sealed, or ported, or bandpass, 50 # < EBP < 100; and EBP > 100 ported, as an initial appoximation. # # Note: The following can be added to the print statements, but # realistically, they provide impractical results-far too large to be # implemented. Practical Dmin values will be a fraction of the # minimum. # # local k = 0.732; # local Sd = pi * (Dia / 100)^2 / 4; # local Vd = Sd * Xmax / 1000; # local Dmin = 100 * (20.3 * pow ((Vd^2 / Fb), 0.25)); # local Lv = (23562.5 * Dmin^2 / (Fb^2 * Vb)) - (k * Dmin); # # printf (" Dmin = %f = minimum port diameter, cm\n", Dmin); # printf (" Lv = %f = port length, cm\n", Lv); # # Speed of sound = 1130 feet / second. Let L = minimum longest room # dimension, then for a half wavelength fundamental resonance of the # room, F0: # # F0 = 565 / L # # This is the frequency of the first room resonant node, (the first # null in the room response.) Many consider it ideal if the box # resonant frequency, Fb, is the same as this frequency. # # Additionally, the maximum frequency of a speaker is where the # wavelength of the sound produced = effective diameter of the cone, # and, for every 10 dB increase in sound-level intensity, the power # requirement increases by a factor of 10. An increase of 3 dB # increase in sound-level intensity requires doubling the power, (F3 # is the -3 dB frequency, or half power.) Also, the equations are # valid regardless of whether English or Metric units are used-as long # as the parametric units are consistent. # # For ported/vented designs, the speaker box should not be driven to # full power below Fb, (the box, or port, frequency,) due to unloading # of the the driver damping, and the resulting large excursions # damaging the driver. # # Print all viable solutions, regardless of Fs, Qes, or, Qtc; 0 = no, # 1 = yes: # ALL = 0; # # Note: from "Designing, Building, and Testing Your Own Speaker # System..," David Weems, Kindle locations: # # 28%: # # Qts < 0.38 is low, Qts >> 0.38 is high; low is for ported # designs. # # 47%: (referencing Keele at 75%): # # local Vb = 15 * pow (Qts, 2.87) * Vas; (ft^3) # local Fb = 0.42 * pow (Qts, -0.9) * Fs; (Hz.) # local Fh = 0.26 * pow (Qts, -1.4) * Fs; (Hz.) # local dBpeak = 20 * ln10 (2.6 * Qts * pow (Vas / Vb, 0.35)); # # 76%: # # fn = F / Fs; # dBmag = 20 * ln10 (pow (fn, 4) / sqrt (pow (pow (fn, 4) - C * pow (fn, 2) + A, 2) + pow (B * fn - D * pow (fn, 3), 2))); # # Note: Thiele-Small equations from "Introduction to Loudspeaker # Design: Second Edition," John L.
