For this they should include the following effects:ī) mutual coupling between bass drivers and ports,Ĭ) the formation of standing wave modes within the enclosure andĭ) the presence of sound absorbing material.įactors a,c and d have a strong impact and can't be neglected. These responses should be as accurate as possible.

Ideally such a software should evaluate the SPL response of the bass drivers and the ports -if any- at a nearby reference point (usually on tweeter axis at 1m) for a frequency range of 20 to 1000Hz.

The optimum amount of sound absorbing material is also expected to be determined. Such a geometry includes the box and the ports -if any- as well.

An enclosure design software is supposed to help a designer calculate the optimum dimensions of the predefined geometry of a speaker cabinet.
