Subwoofer Design Software

Bandpass Designer Software calculates 4th order bandpass theoretical enclosures and boxes.


Input Parameters:





The following Theile Small speaker parameters are required for input. These values should be included with your speaker manual or can be found on the manufacture's web site. 

  • Qts -  Total Q of the speaker
  • Qes - Speaker electrical Q
  • Fs - Free air resonance of speaker in Hz
  • Vas - Volume of air equal to the speakers spring characteristics in liters
  • Pmax - Maximum power of the driver in watts
  • Diameter - The diameter of the driver in cm
  • Xmax - The amount of cone movement in one direction in mm
  • Dp - Diameter of the port(s) in cm
  • Ports - Number of ports





The following speaker parameters are user defined inputs. These values should be inputted by user preference. 

Gain: dB increase of the system:

  • S: Ripple
  • S = 0.5 - Degraded response pronounced ripple
  • S = 0.6 - Slightly degraded response slight ripple
  • S = 0.7 - Best transient response no ripple


NOTES:


MAKE SURE THE UNITS MATCH (e.g. Vas is in liters not cubic feet).

Pmax, Diameter, and Xmax are not required for box calculation. They are used to determine the power response curve. Vf, Vr, Fl, Fh, Fb, and Lp will still be valid for Qts, Qes, Vas, Dp and number of Ports.

Ported designs require tuning. Bandpass Designer should give a good approximation of box parameters for most applications.

Use the largest diameter port as the design allows. Drivers greater than 10" in diameter can produce port noise due to the air movement.


Calculated Parameters




The following speaker box and enclosure parameters are calculated:




  • Vf: Internal volume of front chamber (port goes into this chamber) in liters.
  • Vr: Internal volume of rear chamber (sealed) in liters.
  • Fb: Box resonance in Hz
  • Fl: -3 dB frequency for the low end roll off
  • Fh: -3 dB frequency for the high end roll off
  • Lp: Length of port(s) in cm
Sealed Designer Software is for designing sealed or closed theoretical enclosures:



Input Parameters:





The following speaker Theile Small parameters are required for input. These values, except Qtc, should be included with your speaker manuals or on the manufactures web site. 

  • Qtc: Total Q of the speaker and box
  • Qts: Total Q of the speaker
  • Qes: Speaker electrical Q
  • Fs: Free air resonance of speaker in Hz
  • Vas: Volume of air equal to the speakers spring characteristics in liters
  • Pmax: Maximum power of the driver in watts
  • Diameter: The diameter of the driver in cm
  • Xmax: The amount of cone movement in one direction in mm
Vented Designer Software is for designing vented or ported theoretical enclosures.

Alignment: Choose desired alignment:

  • SBB4: Good response, Large enclosure, Low tuning frequency
  • QB3: Slightly degraded response, Small enclosure, Lower F3
  • SC4: Degraded response, Large enclosure, Low tuning frequency

One Chip AM/FM Radio with Audio Power Amplifier

Description: The integrated circuit TDA1083 includes, with exception  of the FM front end, a complete AM-/FM-radio-circuit  with audio power amplifier. An internal Z-diode  stabilizes the supply voltage at VS 13 V, which allows  with the aid of a resistor and a rectifier, the circuit to be  driven by a higher external supply voltage. Features: Large supply voltage range VS = 3 to 12 V High AM-Sensitivity Limiting threshold voltage Vi = 50 V Audio output power P0 = 0.7 W AFC-connection for VHF-tuner AM-FM switching without high frequency voltages Applications: AM-/FM- and audio-amplifier Circuit Diagram: Circuit diagram for One Chip AM/FM Radio with Audio Power Amplifier Datasheet for TDA1083:   Download

2 x 15 W stereo Bridge Tied Load (BTL) audio amplifier

General description: The TDA8946J is a dual-channel audio power amplifier with an output power of 2 × 15 W at an 8 Ω load and a 18 V supply. The circuit contains two Bridge Tied Load (BTL) amplifiers with an all-NPN output stage and standby/mute logic. The TDA8946J comes in a 17-pin DIL-bent-SIL (DBS) power package. The TDA8946J is printed-circuit board (PCB) compatible with all other types in the TDA894x family. One PCB footprint accommodates both the mono and the stereo products. Features: Few external components Fixed gain Standby and mute mode No on/off switching plops Low standby current High supply voltage ripple rejection Outputs short-circuit protected to ground, supply and across the load Thermally protected Printed-circuit board compatible Circuit Diagram: Circuit Diagram for 2 x 15 W stereo Bridge Tied Load (BTL) audio amplifier PCB layout: PCB layout TDA8946 Datasheet for TDA8946J:   Download

200W Hybrid Audio Amplifier Circuit

200W Hybrid Audio Amplifier Circuit - c onnecting two TDA2030 thru cheap power transistors we can create a amplifier wich can deliver a higher power. With the components value from the schematic the total amplifier gain is 32 dB. The speaker can be 2 ohm instead of 4 ohm if we use the TIP transistors. TDA 2030 is produced by SGS Ates and is a complete audio amplifier. AB class of the final amplifier cand deliver up to 14W on 4 ohm at a +-14V power supply. With a proper designed power supply this audio amplifier can output 200W. Active components: IC1, Ic2 TDA 2030 T1, T3 = BD 250, TIP 36 T2,T4 = BD 249, TIP 35 D1 … D4 = 1N4001 200W Hybrid Audio Amplifier Circuit
