Sensitivity of Thiele's Vented Loudspeaker Enclosure Alignments to Parameter Variations

Authors: Keele, Jr., D. B. (Don)

Journal of the Audio Engineering Society · Volume 21 · Issue 4 · pp. 246–255 · May 1973

Abstract

Additional information on the use and application of Thiele's alignments for the vented loudspeaker cabinet is presented. A rewritten alignment table which has all the frequency terms normalized to the speaker resonance frequency is included. Computer-run frequency responses for all the alignments are displayed along with a new fourth-order Chebyshev alignment beyond no. 9. Variations and sensitivity functions for the vented cabinet output with respect to various system parameters (both Thiele system parameters and driver physical parameters) are derived and plotted.
