Magnetic Circuit Design Methodologies for Dual-Coil Transducers

Renewed interest in the old idea of using dual voice coils, axial not
concentric, leads to reconsidering this architectural approach to modern
consumer and professional applications. The author reviews and analyzes
numerous design tradeoffs in magnetic materials, magnetic geometries,
and voice-coil topologies in order to illustrate potential advantages of
this approach to driver design. Advantages, when compared to single-coil
drivers, include weight, power handling, power compression, and
distortion. An additional shorted coil between the two drive coils acts
as dynamic braking. |

Loudspeaker Voice-Coil Inductance Losses: Circuit Models, Parameter Estimation, and Effect on Frequency Response

Modeling of the losses in a loudspeaker voice coil is not
straightforward, even when the series resistance is separated from the
inductor and when both are viewed as discrete elements. The parametric
representation of the inductor must include a frequency-dependent
resistance and inductance in parallel. A SPICE analysis is compared to
experimental data in order to validate the proposed parameters that
incorporate the frequency-dependent impedance and phase. |

A comparison between the original impulse response of a room and its
simulation must be made in order to evaluate the quality of the
simulation. However, this leads to the dilemma of using a listening or
visual method for judging similarity. In this study a single frequency
band was deliberately changed in amplitude to create a controlled
difference between the two cases, which then served as a basis for
evaluating the two methods of judgment. Results show a very high level
of correlation between visual inspection and subjective listening. |

A New Nonstationary Test Procedure for Improved Loudspeaker Fault Detection
(PDF-280K) |
|
|
Manuel Davy and Christian Doncarli |

|
Manufacturing efficiencies require a general method to automatically
detect production faults without any prior information about the nature
of such faults. The authors propose a method that uses a mixture of four
chirped signals covering the complete frequency range as a brief signal
that mimics a speech or musiclike stimulus. The method was evaluated by
comparing aged loudspeakers with varying levels of fatigue with new
loudspeakers. The approach does not require a special environment or a
model of the loudspeaker or its failure modes. Yet the results are
accurate. |
