1 Big Sound from Small Speakers Part 1 Wolfgang Klippel Institute of Acoustics and Speech Communication University of Technology Dresden, GmbH address: wklippel@klippel.de Big Sound from Small Speakers, 1 Abstract: This seminar focuses on modern methods for designing and manufacturing microspeakers and other small, light and costeffective loudspeakers reproducing the sound at high efficiency and sufficient sound quality as required in telecommunication, automotive, multi-media and other professional applications. The seminar gives an overview on physical modeling of loudspeakers in the large signal domain which is necessary to explain the relationship between geometry and the properties of the materials on the one side and the transfer behavior and the performance on the other side. Meaningful loudspeaker parameters (T/S, nonlinear and thermal) and other specifications (amplitude response, directivity, power) are discussed which allow a comprehensive description of the transducer. Prof. Klippel addresses the fundamentals of loudspeaker diagnostics which is important to interpret the measurement results and to localize the causes of the defects and to develop alternative design choices. Big Sound from Small Speakers, 2
2 Questions addressed in the Seminar: How to get the desired frequency response and directivity pattern? How to find the optimal geometry of the cone? How to measure the power handling? How to perform meaningful measurements in the large signal domain? How to find the optimal size of voice coil in the gap? Which loudspeaker nonlinearities are desired? How to get maximal power handling and acoustical output? How to get maximal bass out of a small enclosure? How to measure the power handling? What is a good and what is a bad speaker? How to select an optimal driver for loudspeaker system design?
