I have designed a few speakers already (mainly fullrange models) and I always use DSP (Dirac Live 3.x) to correct them
I was wondering that:
- if I design my speaker to have a Qtc value of 0.707 then use DSP to boost the low end accordingly
- then if I design the same with Qtc=0.5 for example and use DSP again to boost the low end
What will be the difference?
Obviously the cabinet size for the Qtc=0.5 model will be considerably bigger but both cabinets will be DSP corrected anyway
For the bigger cabinet less low-end boost will be needed for sure
I guess what I try to understand is if there is a point to design with lower Qtc...
The bigger cabinet might be able to reproduce bass instruments better? (e.g. doublebass or big drum)
Any builds/comments would be appreciated
Thank you
