I know that the current trend is all about smart speakers, but since we have discussed that topic extensively in recent editorials, I thought the time was ripe to discuss what is happening with headphones, a still-growing market segment showing some signs that deserve attention. In this article I wrote for The Audio Voice newsletter, I address ongoing trends in design choices, user preferences, frequency response curves, and personalization.

VC Spotlight: Boundary Effects on Sources at Low Frequencies

VC Spotlight: Boundary Effects on Sources at Low Frequencies

A sound source, such as a loudspeaker, will experience an increase in directivity with increasing frequency, as the wavelength of sound becomes small compared to the baffle’s size. Since the baffle the driver is mounted on is larger than the driver, this occurs at a lower frequency than for the driver diaphragm itself.

Driver Selection for Multi-Way Speakers

It was recognized early on that the speakers benefited from having separate low-frequency and high-frequency drivers, each optimized for its own frequency range. Consequently, names were needed to easily identify the various speakers in a cabinet. This article was originally published in Voice Coil, January 2012.
