Cabinet Volumes for Ported Speakers
When designing a speaker enclosure, especially a ported (bass reflex) box, it’s a common misconception that there’s one perfect cabinet volume for every driver. In reality, there’s a range of suitable volumes, each delivering a slightly different result depending on the design goal. Cabinet volume has a direct effect on bass response — not just […]
Thiele Small Parameters – A Quick Overview
We’re still updating and improving these pages, they are intended as general guidelines to help with the understanding of T&S Parameters and their relevance to speaker design. In some cases, a simplified explanation or example is used to illustrate a point, and may not be 100% accurate in all circumstances., BL – Motor Strength or […]
Driver TS Parameters: Cms (Compliance) & Vas (Compliance Equivalent Volume)
Cms is a measure of the suspension compliance. Compliance is the opposite of stiffness. A driver with a stiff cone suspension will have a low Cms, and a driver with a ‘loose’ cone suspension will have a higher Cms. Vas is known as the compliance equivalent volume, and is specified in litres. Cms is proportional […]
