The original poster is researching how multi-driver speaker systems reproduce the full spectrum of sound, specifically inquiring about relevant equations for describing frequency and the handling of ultra high and low frequencies.
Some participants have provided guidance on researching speaker design and crossover networks, suggesting resources for further exploration. Multiple interpretations of speaker performance and design considerations are being explored.
Participants note the complexity of loudspeaker design and the need for a foundational understanding before advancing in the topic. There is an acknowledgment of the potential confusion surrounding the subject matter.
Actually, not specific enough. Crossovers are engineered to optimize the performance of particular arrays of drivers. Bose has done a lot with full-range drivers, but most speaker-designers want to use a range of speakers, and they have to engineer a crossover network that will give the most accurate response with the selected speaker array. Obviously, you don't want to send very low frequencies (long throw) to tiny dome tweeters, and vise versa. A big heavy subwoofer can't reproduce highs accurately.brown_matt said:Yes, I've read how they separate the input into different frequency bands. Are there equations that calculate the maximum frequency of a speaker, or am i being too specific?
You're going to have to delve into loudspeaker design, which is a very complex subject, then you're going to have to settle on a basic design and see what you can come up with. There are algorithms that can help you.brown_matt said:Oh right, so full range drivers won't necessarily produce as good a sound as a crossover with subwoofer and tweeters?
Wavespeed = frequency x wavelength
as the waves will be traveling at 330? high note = short wavelength
Where can i go from here to raise the level of physics?
