The majority of loudspeaker design now relies on simulation software such as Klippel. This approach has been effective in improving various speaker characteristics. However, the overreliance on simulation software without a deep understanding of electro-acoustic transducers has led to a neglect of the fundamental principles of speakers. This has become a bottleneck in enhancing the sound quality of speakers.
This session re-focuses on impedance characteristics, which are no longer receiving sufficient attention today. It explains the sound quality issues associated with impedance fluctuations, methods for addressing them, and how to design speakers based on information derived from impedance characteristics.
