Books and Software to Help You Design and Learn
Design, build and test the speaker projects of you dreams with the outstanding loudspeaker design books and software
now available. These publications are also perfect for anyone who simply wants an in-depth understanding of the design
process. The books range from a tutorial of sound, drivers, crossovers, box design, testing, speaker location and projects
to sophisticated in-depth analyses. You have the comfort of having top experts in the field literally looking over your
shoulder. Every concept is laid out in a logical format. If you’re overwhelmed at first, there are proven, tested projects
to help reinforce the material you’ve just gone over. Whether you want to build a home or automotive enclosure, sealed,
ported, horn, transmission line or any of the other hybrids, there is a project and clear explanation of the theory.
After you’ve built up your confidence and are a little more ambitious, move on to software that will really open your eyes
and expedite the design process. And speaking of miracles, check out the Woofer Tester. Here is a single tool that will
allow you to get accurate individual driver parameters, instead of relying on the spec sheets that are based on production
samples, and can vary up to 30%. It measures Fs, Qms, Qes, Qts, Vas, BL, Re, Le, Mms, Cms, SPL and more,
and runs under Windows 98SE, 2000, ME, and XP operating systems with an available USB port.
And, last but not least, check out the TLwrx Version 3.0 Transmission Line Software by G. L. Augspurger. Finally a
program to design transmission line loudspeakers and accurately predict their performance as reliably as sealed and
ported box programs. For those of us who aren’t electrical engineers, and who got by thirty years ago with the incompletely explained concepts, nomograms, lack of driver statistics, and frequently poorly edited formulas, these tools are
loudspeaker hobbyist paradise. Even if you don't intend to build a project, the enjoyable and enlightening books will
allow you to gain a greater understanding of the design process behind the listening experience.
