Course detail
Loudspeaker Systems
FEKT-BPC-REPAcad. year: 2024/2025
The course deals with description of the construction of direct-radiator and horn-loaded loudspeakers, the parameters of these loudspeakers and their measurement, the design of different types of loudspeaker cabinets and crossovers for two- and three-way loudspeaker systems, measurement of parameters of loudspeaker systems and their mechanical design. In the first part of the laboratory exercise, students measure loudspeaker parameters and design loudspeaker cabinets and crossovers and simulate their properties using LspCAD. In the second part, they construct the designed loudspeaker system, perform tuning of its crossover and measure its parameters.
