  • The Benefit of Using Speaker Tunings for Commercial Loudspeakers Executive Summary
    TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER THE BENEFIT OF USING SPEAKER TUNINGS FOR COMMERCIAL LOUDSPEAKERS EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The use of speaker tunings is commonplace in high-performance environments that require line arrays and multi-transducer speakers. However, even in commercial applications with full-range speakers, it’s important to have proper speaker tunings to manage the voltage and frequencies going to the transducers in order to maximize quality and efficiency while preventing damage. In this white paper, learn some of the technical considerations behind why this damage can occur and discover how speaker tunings address these issues. CONTENTS A PRIMER: AMPS AND SPEAKERS WORKING TOGETHER …………………………………………………………… 3 BAND-PASS FILTERS: WHEN NOT ALL FREQUENCIES ARE CREATED EQUAL …………………………… 3 CONSTANT VOLTAGE SPEAKER TUNINGS: BETTER SOUND THROUGH FILTERS ………………………… 5 LIMITERS IN AMPLIFIERS: CONTROLLING VOLTAGE, NOT JUST VOLUME …………………………………… 8 CONCLUSION ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… 9 THE BENEFIT OF USING SPEAKER TUNINGS FOR COMMERCIAL LOUDSPEAKERS | TECHNICAL WHITE PAPER | © 2017 HARMAN | v.10.2017 Page 2 of 10 A PRIMER: AMPS AND SPEAKERS WORKING BETTER TOGETHER Any audio engineer will tell you that you never buy an amplifier or speaker in isolation. You select the amplifier based upon the speakers you’re driving, and you select the speakers depending on your sound Ensuring the application. The space you’re trying to fill with sound and the application you’re addressing will ultimately audio sent to determine the sound pressure level (SPL) you need to get out of the system. SPL, measured in decibels, the speaker denotes how loud the sound is within the space. Depending on your SPL requirement, you select your is optimized speaker(s) and that determines how powerful and how many amplifiers you will need.
