High Performance Loudspeakers (eBook)

Martin Colloms is an independent electroacoustics engineer in the UK who has seen over 200 of his high fidelity audio and speaker designs put into mass production. Martin has worked as a loudspeaker critic--publishing over 1,500 high fidelity speaker reviews--and is the technical editor of HIFICRITIC.

In the seventh edition?s 10 chapters, each with up to 30 subchapters, Martin has expanded the sections on analysis and modeling, and included new sections on the increasingly popular Klippel and Comsol Multiphysics systems, as well as on the finite element analysis (FEA) of magnetic systems. He has added two new chapters, one on DSP integration into system design, and the second providing a worked-through example of the loudspeaker design process?High Performance Loudspeakers: Optimising High Fidelity Loudspeaker Systems, Seventh Edition, is a must-have addition to the bookshelf of any audiophile who wants to learn everything there is to know about the art and science of loudspeaker design. ? John Atkinson, Audio Critic, Stereophile Magazine (April 2019 issue)

The reader will gain a solid grounding in the design principles and the necessary trade-offs, allowing the individual to map out a design before diving into one of the now ubiquitous enclosure design software packages. If you buy just one book on the subject, this is it, as there?s much to learn at the same time as enjoying a satisfying read.-Stan Curtis, Audio Designer, HIFICRITIC Magazine OCT-DEC 2018In the seventh edition?s 10 chapters, each with up to 30 subchapters, Martin has expanded the sections on analysis and modeling, and included new sections on the increasingly popular Klippel and Comsol Multiphysics systems, as well as on the finite element analysis (FEA) of magnetic systems.
