Loudspeakers

In these days ofminiaturization, fewpeople seem to feela need for largeloudspeakers in theirliving room. But,although they wantsmall boxes, they stillwant good quality. Thewall box presented inthis article meets thoserequirements. It is atwo-way system housedin a small, shallowenclosure that isinconspicuous in theliving room.

simple two-way loudspeaker
In this design of a simple loudspeakerenclosure an attempt hasbeen made to achieve a reasonablygood quality with a minimum ofmaterial. In spite of inexpensive drivers,this aim was met.The cross-over filter has a 6-dBroll-off, which means only one componentper driver: L1 for the wooferand C2 for the tweeter. There is alsoan impedance-correction network,R1-C1, for […]

loudspeaker protector
This circuit automatically disconnectsa mid-range loudspeakeror a tweeter from theoutput of an amplifier when toomuch power is applied. A relaywith a normally closed (n/c)contact is used as the switchingdevice.

Surround speakers
To convert a standardstereo installation intoa surround soundsetup, at least threeadditional speakersare needed, of whichthe centre one mustbe magneticallyshielded. The miniaturespeakers describedin this articlehave been designedsolely for this purposeby the German loudspeakerspecialistVisaton.

This limiter contents owing to their rela-tively low rating, tweeters (high-fre-quency loud-speakers)form theweak linkin an audio sys-tem. If the volume is suddenly turned up too high, the risk of the tweeters being damaged irreparably is high. Such an im-petuous and costly mistake, can, how-ever, be avoided in two different ways. The first is to curb […]
