Input Parameters

bandpass input parameters

The following Theile Small speaker parameters are required for input.  These values should be included with your speaker manual or can be found on the manufacture's web site.

Qts: 
Total Q of the speaker
Qes: 
Speaker electrical Q
Fs:  Free air resonance of speaker in Hz
Vas:  Volume of air equal to the speakers spring characteristics in liters
Pmax:  Maximum power of the driver in watts
Diameter:  The diameter of the driver in cm
Xmax:  The amount of cone movement in one direction in mm
Dp:  Diameter of the port(s) in cm
# Ports:  Number of ports


The following speaker parameters are user defined inputs. These values should be inputted by user preference.

Gain:
  dB increase of the system
S:  Ripple
S = 0.5 - Degraded response pronounced ripple
S = 0.6
- Slightly degraded response slight ripple
S = 0.7 - Best transient response no ripple


NOTES:

MAKE SURE THE UNITS MATCH (e.g. Vas is in liters not cubic feet).

Pmax, Diameter, and Xmax are not required for box calculation.  They are used to determine the power response curve. Vf, Vr, Fl, Fh, Fb, and Lp will still be valid for Qts, Qes, Vas, Dp and number of Ports.

Ported designs require tuning.  Bandpass Designer should give a good approximation of box parameters for most applications.

Use the largest diameter port as the design allows.  Drivers greater than 10" in diameter can produce port noise due to the air movement.


Calculated Parameters

bandpass calculated parameters

The following speaker box and enclosure parameters are calculated:

Vf:  Internal volume of front chamber (port goes into this chamber) in liters.
Vr:  Internal volume of rear chamber (sealed) in liters.
Fb:  Box resonance in Hz
Fl:   -3 dB frequency for the low end roll off
Fh:  -3 dB frequency for the high end roll off
Lp:  Length of port(s) in cm

 
NOTES:

Fl is an important parameter.  The lower the Fl the deeper the bass.  A Fl below 50 Hz should be suitable.

Vb is the volume of the box.  Generally, the lower the bass the bigger the box.
