C'mon, Ben, let's not go there. I have skills in that direction too and would much rather keep them in their sheath. Let's keep this to techical give and take rather than resorting to that kind of stuff. How about giving us a predictive theory for "Doppler distortion" that can be tested against experiment? I have a predictive theory, the effect is zero for all signals and have proposed a simple, if not inexpensive, experiment that will remove from considerations all effects that the speaker mechanics have on the piston/air interface.

That was dumb. This doesn't accomodate the reality that different parts of the cone can have different motions and different kinds of non-linear distortion in them. What the cone sends out is the sum of a lot of little non-linearities from all the points on it as well as whatever is in what is driving it.

Well, Randy, many people are saying that it is and produces FM distortion anyway. Note carefully, (for thine ist a beanhead): the "system" here is defined to be the entire electro-mechanical path from the speaker's electrical input to the acoustic receiver's input. **** you, and I say that with all due respect. The system here is everything from the face of the piston on out. Nothing that occurs before that can be contributory and must be eliminated in some way from any experiment designed to catch Doppler at work. Again, give me a mathematical expression which describes in a quantitative way what should be measured at a distance from that speaker as a function of the motion of that speaker. Until that is done, "Doppler distortion" is not supported in theory. I sincerely hope no one will say that it isn't required because you see evidence of frequency modulation. According to a recent post, even that evidence may not really indicate frequency modulation but can be accounted for by non-linearity in the driver. I don't know the intricasies of modulation theory but it was said by someone who does that the data shown does not carry the signature of this supposed effect. Until "Doppler distortion" is supported in theory, and I hope all know by now what qualifies as a theory, there is no basis for it and no basis for correct interpretation of any measurement data.

Your "gravity exists" example might be true under certain specific conditions, but if you're in a freefall dive in a plane over Ethiopia, gravity doesn't exist as far as you're concerned, at least until the plane starts pulling out of the dive. The problem here is whether the sound source is actually moving relative to the listener, when the source is a speaker being driven by a complex waveform. There are models that show that the actual source of the sound is a point or plane that lies approximately at the center of the motion described by the cone (I say approximately because the inertia of the cone and of the air it is acting on may move the source a bit). If these models are correct, then the source of the sound is not in motion relative to the listener and therefore Doppler distortion does not and cannot exist in a speaker. Certainly, this model, exact or not, is more accurate than the train/whistle model. |

This could only work with a truly rigid piston and I don't know how to make one of those. Actually the answer to the thing came to me a bit ago and I explained it briefly in other posts, but speaker cones don't generate sound waves, what actually happens is that the moving speaker cone imparts motion to the air molecules which is in turn converted into acoustic pressure waves, that conversion occurring in the air itself. Thus the air is acting as an acoustic transformer and actually generating the sound. Since this may be, and is usually, treated as a point or planar source (depending on the speaker type), the actual sound source is not moving relative to the listener and no Doppler distortion is generated. I have run into this model many times over the years and it just occurred to me that it might have some relevance to the Doppler discussion. Of course this may generate a discussion that may eclipse the Doppler discussion, because, though this has long been a model (so long apparently that we had all forgotten about it!:-)), I really don't know how accurate the model is. As I remember it, the conversion is from low velocity molecular motion (the air molecules actually being moved by the speaker at the same velocity as the cone) to high velocity pressure waves (traveling at the speed of sound, of course), and the actual location of the acoustic source is determined by the acoustic conversion efficiency of the speaker design, the mass of the cone and a number of other factors. Therefore, based on that model, I'll have to agree with Bob and say that Doppler distortion is not a factor in conventional loudspeakers. Since my knowledge of physics is near its limit at this point, I'll leave it to those with an advanced physics education to carry on the discussion, but if the above model is anywhere near correct, then there can be no Doppler distortion because there is no motion between the sound source and the listener. |

Thus, again, this point would move along with the low-frequency energy. That's where it gets tricky, but I've long seen it referred to as a "point" source or a "planar" source, and for whatever reason it's treated as a non-moving stable source. I believe that it has to do with the air's mass and inertia, but as I said, the actual physics will have to be figured out by those with a higher education than I have. This actually goes back at least as far as the '60's and possibly much earlier. That's the reason I didn't advance it sooner, it just didn't occur to me. I was just following the reasoning that the speaker cone actually generated the sound, until it finally occurred to me that it doesn't, whatever is producing the actual sound waves has to be moving at the speed of sound to impart the necessary pressure wave, and this is the interface where molecular motion is converted to pressure waves. Think about it, if the speaker pushes a volume of air forward, it will be moving at the same speed as the cone that imparted the motion, and it won't be sound, it will be a slowly moving volume of air. When the molecules in that volume of air meet other molecules, the slow motion of molecules is converted into a high velocity pressure wave where it is the pressure wave that is moving and not the air itself, just like an ocean wave. This is a dynamic process and the back and forth motion of the cone has nothing to do with it as far as the sound's source point is concerned. I can see how it happens and understand it quite well, but I simply haven't got the math or physics background to do the equations. Also, a) where did this theory of "air motion to pressure waves" come from, and b)why did you wait some 20 or 30 posts before coming out with this as your main basis for why Doppler does not occur? As I said, it just occurred to me that the speaker cone doesn't produce the sound, the air does. It's been a long time since I'd thought about it because the model goes back a long way. Before this, I was on the fence, though I was leaning toward the "no Doppler" side, I suppose because this was rolling around in my subconscience. I knew that there was something wrong with the train/whistle model, and I was thinking all along that it was the multiple simple sources vs the single complex source, but that wasn't it, this was. "The sound wave may be considered as holographic in nature, and just like a visual hologram doesn't appear on the surface of the holographic plate, neither does the sound wave originate on the surface of the speaker cone." I have no idea whom I'm quoting, but I remember the quote from some text or other I read quite a few years ago. The words may not be exact, but the gist is the same. |

What you are trying to pull on Porky is normally kept hidden from public view. BTW I found your post with the little test you did - it is full of dumb maths errors and wrong assertions. Phool, apparently you didn't know that Bob and I have known each other for quite some time. I have yet to see you post one technical fact, just smart ass remarks, and isn't that what trolls are known for. |

But it is not due to the doppler effect. Exactly, Not. Get a clue, people. Doppler is a *PHYSICAL PHENOMENOM* that WILL happen whether or not you decide it can WHENEVER a sound wave source and observer are moving relative to each other. Period. This isn't open for debate. This whole argument is based on the wrong assumption that the high frequency source is "riding on" the low frequency source like a whistle on a train. It is NOT! I think you've contrdicted yourself. A whistle riding on a train would be an example of a linear system if the motion of the train does not change the operational parameters of the whistle. Both sounds are being produced simultaneously by the complex electrical waveform driving the speaker cone which moves in accordance. Assuming that the speaker is being driven within its linear limits, the cone's motion accurately follows the driving signal, and it is a linear system. So far so good. Forget the train/whistle anology, it is not an accurate representation for what goes on with a speaker, period! But it is. A speaker generating a acostical signal that is received with Doppler distoriton is just as linear as that train whistle, and the Doppler distortion in either case has a common cause. This common cause is the relative motion of the source and the receiver. |

Randy Yates wrote: Proof by assertion? Sorry, Randy. I see nothing but proof by assertion from the supporters of "Doppler distortion." Even in the presence of experimental confirmation? It shouldn't be incumbent on those that observe that no predictive theory exists to prove why it doesn't, although I've been trying, it should be incumbent on those claiming that it exists to produce the predictive theory. The predictive theory is as near as the nearest stack of JAES papers, which have been cited here a number of times. |

Randy Yates wrote: If by "predictive theory" you mean a theory by which this phenomenom can be predicted, then I must ask if you are blind. I have stated it several times in several different ways. I have cited a reference for it (Halliday and Resnick). I am assuming you are familiar with the theory. Is that assumption invalid? Do you want a rehashing of the theory of the Doppler effect? Do you want me to transcribe my Physics text into a usenet news article for you so you don't have to go to the library and check one out? It is hard for me to believe that you don't know that a predictive theory is one for which there is a mathematical model which can predict, with accuracy, the results of the kind of hypothetical situations that are being bandied about in order to compare measurement to theory. Where is it? I do believe it is in Halliday and Resnick, even though it has been decades since I read it there. It's also in the JAES papers that have now been cited several times in the various discussions on the various newsgroups. |

:-) Yep, I just had an attack of common sense before I started posting again. I decided to try to contribute positively to the group and to forget about any preconceived notions I may have had about group members. It seems that after doing so, my opinions of many of you went up quite a bit, which means that it was my misconceptions that were the problem. I apologize to all for that. Wow! This close to being a first in the history of Usenet. I'm sure it has happened before, but I can't say where or when. Good stuff! |
