| The acoustic stimulus is provided
via a custom designed 4-way dual enclosure loudspeaker source. The
loudspeaker source must be capable of producing consistently smooth and
stable response over an extremely wide range of frequency spanning 12 octaves.
The subwoofer produces substantial energy down to 10Hz using two 12 In drivers
modified with mass control rings, and a very long low resistance port.
High frequencies through 40kHz are handled via a 3/4 In silk dome tweeter.
The right graph on the next page shows the detailed response of the loudspeaker
system as measured in the chamber, without smoothing. |
