Chapter six
Electrodynamic loudspeakers
Abstract
This chapter begins with the basic theory and construction of moving-coil loudspeakers and with the electro-mechano-acoustical circuit for them. The response in different frequency regions is detailed along with power output. The measurement of Thiele–Small parameters is explained. It is then followed with design factors affecting performance and diaphragm behavior. This chapter ends with directivity characteristics, transient response, and examples.
