Product Development: PD10 - Designing Hardware and Software Components in Modern Loudspeaker Systems
Presenter:Wolfgang Klippel, Klippel GmbH - Dresden, Germany
Modern loudspeakers use digital signal processing to generate more output with less energy and optimized hardware while coping with signal distortion, instabilities, overload, aging, climate, and other external influences. The control software provides self-learning capabilities and valuable diagnostic information that simplifies the selection of hardware components, integration in an active system, and assessing the performance of the product in the target application. The tutorial explains essential technical characteristics, the physical background, and practical simulation tools to exploit the new opportunities in optimized amplifier and transducer design.
