A quantitative comparison of linear and nonlinear loudspeaker models.

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingArticle in proceedingsResearchpeer-review

Abstract

We present a short review of models for the dynamics of the conventional moving-coil loudspeaker and a data set with which we quantitatively compare their predictive errors. The models include the effects of viscoelasticity and nonlinear stress-strain relation in the suspension, eddy-current losses in the magnet system, a finite air gap and nonlinear inductance. Vibrational wave propagation within the diaphragm is not considered. We present a model fitting technique and benchmark the loudspeaker models on the data set to establish baselines for future work. A Python implementation is made available at https://github.com/fhchl/quant-comp-ls-mod-ica22.
