Introduction To Loudspeaker Design

Introduction to Loudspeaker Design is written for hobbyists, technicians, and engineers seeking an introductory overview of the technology of loudspeakers. Starting with a brief history of audio developments the book begins by introducing the concepts of frequency, pitch, and loudness and proceeds to develop the idea of a loudspeaker as a system with performance that can be accurately predicted using simulation techniques not unlike those used to design electronic circuits. The work is largely qualitative with an occasional mathematical example. In addition to providing a clear discussion of closed and vented type loudspeaker enclosures the work also covers bandpass enclosures and includes a complete design example for a dipole loudspeaker.

The richly illustrated deluxe paperback edition also covers such advanced topics as loudspeaker design tradeoffs, spatial loading, diffraction loss, cavity effect, and enclosure construction. A complete chapter is devoted to the subject of crossover design. The appendices contain technical references, design aids, and charts summarizing the properties of 18 different loudspeaker enclosure types.

Polk Audio M10 Bookshelf Speakers--If You're New to Great-Sounding Speakers, Start Here
Building incredible-sounding speakers at reasonable prices has made Polk Audio one of the most respected brands in the audio industry. The M10 bookshelf speakers continue the Polk tradition of using high quality materials and excellent fundamental engineering to deliver exceptional sound at an affordable price.

High Efficiency Design means less amplifier power is needed for more audio output. While a separate amp is recommended on full range models for the ultimate in performance, Polk loudspeakers will sound wonderful when driven by aftermarket head units or factory installed electronics, meaning you can get better sound through more affordable components.

Dynamic Balance Driver Technology drives these M10 bookshelf speakers, which is a state-of-the-art proprietary Polk technology developed in conjunction with the Johns Hopkins University. The goal was to perfect the method of analyzing a speaker's microscopic behavior using laser interferometry in order to optimize the system's performance, which enabled Polk to build a supremely efficient speaker design. Polk engineers were able to view the entire vibrating surface of a driver or tweeter and see the resonance which develops on speaker cones as they move. Resonance is the root cause of frequency response distortions. Dynamic Balance enables us to tune out unwanted resonance and distortion with the perfect combination of materials, geometry and construction techniques. The result is pure, distortion-free sound.
