Speaker Subwoofer CAD Speaker SW320 CAD Speaker Technika SSP05. Blender, Modo, Unity, Unreal, SketchUp, ZBrush, Poser and other 3D modeling software. Box-Port Design is another good speaker design software for Windows. It helps you build loudspeaker and subwoofer. As an input, it takes values of T/S Driver Parameters such as Vas (volume of air), Fs (frequency), Pe (Thermal power), Re (DC resistance of the voice coil), Qes (Electrical Q of loudspeaker), and Q of loudspeaker (Qts).

“An Interview with NevilleThiele” - By Steve Mowry,Voice Coil 2006.
“…SM: What do you see asthe trends in loudspeaker design and development in the next tenyears?
NT: Active loudspeakers with equalization,lower crossover frequencies, and more nearly omnidirectionalradiation. Theymay not be trends but seem to me a better way of doing things….”.

Introducing the
Exampleof The Ultimate Equalizer System Configuration Screen (BBM+CABS)
Majorcharacteristics of Ultimate Equalizer system are
- Active system – allows amplifiers to exert maximum control over loudspeaker driver and makes crossover characteristics independent of driver loading.
- DSP crossover and voicing – maintains crossover and voicing characteristics with mathematical precision.
- Amplitude and phase HBT equalization – results in flat amplitude and phase responses and extends bass response.
- Linear phase – maintains 0deg acoustical phase response of each driver, which results in transient-perfect system for correct spatial imaging (realism, depth, resolution, ambience) for multi-channel sound reproduction.
- Minimum-phase/Linear-phase room EQ – removes most obnoxious room modes.
- Available with BBM bass management and CABS active suppresor of room modes.
- Remote control – via 2.4GHz wireless keyboard and mouse.
- Built-in WAV Player - with this option, there is no need for any sound cards at all. UE will create and play 'playlists' with the standard CD-style WAVE files (16-bit/2-channels/44.1kHz) using motherboard codecs.
- And also Hi-Res WAVE files 24bits/2-channels/96kHz and 24bits/5.1-channels/96kHz using motherboard codecs and digital add-on sound crads.
- Use Windows Media Player, or install other Media Players – to create audio server and state-of-the-art loudspeaker management system (user-friendliness, power, flexibility, cost efficiency and sound quality) on one HTPC.
- Removes 'flabby' or 'woolly' bass and provides linear-phase bass as commented by:
1. Michael Gerzon “ The subjective effect of phase compensation of the bass from loudspeakers is very marked, giving a much tighter and more 'punchy' quality, with greater transparency, and interestingly a subjective extension of bass response of at least half an octave. The improvement is audible even on loudspeakers with a very high cut-off frequency, such as Quad electrostatic designs. . . . The benefits of bass phase equalisation are considered, by those who have heard itt, to be a substantial improvement over what was hitherto possible with analog technology, and digital equalisation provides a way of improving bass performance without going to ridiculously large giant space-consuming power-hungry monster speakers, and is certainly a much cheaper route “.
2. Keith Howard “As I pressed Play, I didn't know what to expect: a mild improvement or a revelation. To use a curry-house analogy, I was half-prepared for korma rather than phal. But when I compared the unprocessed and phase-corrected tracks, it took only a few seconds of the latter to persuade me that here was a significant improvement. Just as Michael Gerzon described, the phase-corrected sound was both weightier and punchier, and distinctly more coherent. It simply sounded more like a bass guitar, to the extent that I almost hummed along—not something that I would normally expect to do when listening to a bass-guitar accompaniment shorn of all else (sorry, John), and certainly not an urge I felt with the unprocessed track. Still, time-consuming as it was, this experiment involved only a single music excerpt and was conducted in mono, and so hardly offers a comprehensive insight into the full benefit of bass phase correction. But what I heard convinces me that this is an area in which the application of DSP can make a significant contribution to fidelity.”

Last update:
To create a wonderful sound system, there is a need to have all the factors put into consideration. This is because designing of speakers is as much as science it is an art. To create most effective speakers, here are some of the best speaker design software that can guarantee you the top performance of the designs. As a matter of fact, the majority of them are the choice of the leading brands in the industry.

Other Platforms
As it is the case with the majority of the applications that require being installed into computer systems including those that are portable, the platform is key. This is critical in filtering the applications that can work for your case as well as those that don’t go to establish.
Speaker Designer for Android
Speaker Designer is an Android speaker design App that allows users to find some guiding parameters when it comes to designing various speakers. The App being on smartphones and tablets make it quite convenient for the user to access the required info and consequently come up with the best speaker.
GSpeakers for Mac
GSpeakers is a Mac-based 3D speaker box design software that was conceived out of the necessity, the fact that there is a lack of an appropriate software on the platform. However, the software is quite powerful and other being accessible on Mac OS, it can also be accessed from Linux and any UNIX system.
WinSpeakerz for Windows
WinSpeakerz is a free speaker design software that is provided for evaluation purposes to give an opportunity to sample the premium software. With this, it is possible and easy to realize the full power as well as the future of loudspeaker simulation and designing.
Most Popular Software for 2016 – FINEBox
FINEBox is the leading speaker design software. With this application, it designing of headphones, micro loudspeakers, PA systems, and Hi-Fi systems is greatly simplified and results much more effective. The software also offers rich features such as 3D display of the various elements as well as a simulator for different designs.
What is Speaker Design Software?
A speaker design software is a computer application that is developed to assist the designers of speakers in bringing out the best designs that will have various effects. Essentially, the software in this category will pick all the components of the speaker being developed in terms of measurements as well as the type of materials being used. You can also see Music Editing Software
From these, the software is able to simulate the sound quality that the speakers being designed will be in a position to produce. As a result, it is possible to expect the very best in terms of performance as well as optimization. You can also see Digital Music Player
Computer aided designs as well as simulation are areas that have led to the development of products that could have otherwise been very challenging to have. There is no exception in the field of speaker designs as it can be noted that there are quite a good number of these applications.
