Doubling Speaker Dimensions
I've never taken the time to learn about Qts, Vas, or
the other abc's of loudspeaker design, so I'm going to put this to the group in ignorance. Is there an easy and reliable way to predict the performance of a Klipschorn bass unit if all dimensions were simply doubled, assuming the same or comparable driver? Specifically, how far would this extend the low frequency response? -- % Randy Yates % "Though you ride on the wheels of tomorrow, %% Fuquay-Varina, NC % you still wander the fields of your %%% 919-577-9882 % sorrow." %%%% % '21st Century Man', *Time*, ELO http://home.earthlink.net/~yatescr |

I can predict this. If you double the dimensions you will quadruple the
internal volume and the driver will fall out of the mounting hole. Phil "Randy Yates" wrote in message ...

I've never taken the time to learn about Qts, Vas, or the other abc's of loudspeaker design, so I'm going to put this to the group in ignorance. Is there an easy and reliable way to predict the performance of a Klipschorn bass unit if all dimensions were simply doubled, assuming the same or comparable driver? Specifically, how far would this extend the low frequency response? For the horn itself, generally, the band limits go pretty much as the first power of linear dimensions. So, if you were to double the size of the horn in all dimensions, then the low frequency cutoff would drop and octave, but so would the high-frequency cutoff. This assumes, possibly incorrectly, that you're also doubling the size of the driver as well. However, from this point, it gets more complicated. The rear chamber on the driver provides a compliance loading, and you simply can't double the linear dimensions, because that will result in a factor of 8 increase in the acoustic compliance of the back chamber, and that is probably NOT what you want to do. That compliance is set by the requirements of the driver and the gorn properties, so has to be scaled depending upon those factors. You might find it of some use to check out Leach, M. "On the Specification of Moving Coil Drivers for Low-Frequency Horn- Loaded Loudspeakers," J. Audio Eng. Soc., 1979 Dec. |
