At a more detailed level, the designer has to examine the sonic character of different types of direct-radiator driver, and know the advantages and limitations of each type.Įven designers who profess an agnostic, specification-driven approach make an esthetic decision when they decide which group of specifications to optimize. Due to the limitations of the art, no one school can "have it all," despite advertising claims to the contrary.
These challenges can be met in many different ways, resulting in many different schools of speaker design.
This chapter opens with a quick trip through the future, the past, and the challenges of designing speaker systems in the here and now.
#Best speaker enclosure design for small speakers Bluetooth
With this comes the idea of horn loading the small speakers, its going to be a lot bigger than your typical bluetooth solution, but its an interesting concept for small devices.The Art of Speaker Design The Art of Speaker Design Play some music and drop your phone into a cup or glass, you'll get the idea. I don't have to turn it up as much- which decreases distortion, for the side effect of slightly altered sound the same way talking into a paper towel tube makes your voice sound funny, but is louder at the person you are talking to because of the focused energy. It attenuates some of the highs, but also acts sort of like a loaded horn the low end becomes lower, and the sound field is more focused. Something I do with my phone at work (LG G6) which has a downward facing speaker is: I will wedge it into a roll of packing tape. a baffle of this size should throw the sound forward, you can then chop it down untill you find a minimum working size, then rework it again if your trying to get stereo (as separation is important, more so as you go smaller) 6" * 6" and mount it right dead in the middle, flush with the flat surface. That's not to say there are not a few things you can try. So its not like other speakers that you have to build out an enclosure for so they sound correct. Had to have a look at the data sheet to be sure, but it looks like the speaker is self contained.
