Louder, Faithful, and Consistent. Using Digital Signal Processing to Improve Loudspeaker Performance

Within the audio chain, the loudspeaker could be the element that most influences a user’s auditory experience. A loudspeaker is not only the final element that converts electric input into an audible output, but it is also responsible for an increasing portion of the system’s cost, inefficiency, weight, and size, making it a crucial element for the costumer and the manufacturer. This article, published in Voice Coil, May 2016, discusses ways to use digital signal processing to improve loudspeaker performance.
