Alignment (continuation)
For this purpose, the known forth order filter responses are used to identify the terms of a theoretical response of the speaker under the terms of the response of the filter. Thus, we can determine the "typical responces" of a vented enclosure to quickly determine a geometry of an enclosure depending on the speaker parameters.
It is usually considered that the quality factor of the speaker is . For this case, some classical alignments are given below (additional values are available in Beranek [1])
Remarque : Remark
Some values that are used for the dimensioning of vented enclosures. is the resonance frequency of the loudspeaker, is the 3 dB cutoff frequency of the loudspeaker, Vb is a volume of a loudspeaker, Vas is loudspeaker parameter associated with its mechanical flexibility , Qts is total quality factor of a loudspeaker, fb is resonance frequency of a Helmholtz resonator.
