    Why Lower Crossover Frequency Does Not Always Improve Loudspeaker Directivity

    Introduction Crossover frequency is one of the most important aspects of loudspeaker design, significantly impacting overall performance. Among other factors, a smooth transition of directivity between drivers is crucial for sound quality. However, the common opinion that lower crossover...

    Hello! Just found Peter Aczel's (RIP) "Journalistic Legacy" article about his experience and knowledge of six decades of audio: http://www.biline.ca/audio_critic/audio_critic_web1.htm#acl He mentioned "monkey coffins" in his article and as far as I understand he was not a fan of such...

    How to compute parameter values (frequency, gain, Q-value) to EQ a loudspeaker

    I would like to be able to compute parameter values (frequency, gain, Q-value) to EQ a loudspeaker or headphone. I guess it is a more or less complex optimization problem given the frequency response of the loudspeaker/ headphone and a target curve. I know that there are some programs (e.g...

    Loudspeaker/Driver wattage handling with <8ohm.

    When a company says that their 4 or 6 ohm loudspeaker or driver handles say 100W, is that 100W at the nominal impedance, or 8ohm? To further illustrate, if Seas sells a tweeter that’s 4ohm and handles 50W, is that 50W into 4ohm (only 25W into 8ohm) or is that 50W into 8ohm (100W into 4ohm)...
