Loudspeaker System for Laboratory Measurements of Polar Patterns

In the first part the attention is aiming to the choice of suitable loudspeakers. For this choice it was necessary to set required criteria and parameters. The aim of the system was to have as wide reproducibility range of frequency as possible but on the other hand not to be too large. The other criterion was the quality of the loudspeakers and its price. In the second part there was frequency crossover suggested according to the parameters of the chosen loudspeakers. This was suggested for low frequency spectrum as well as for high frequency spectrum. When determining the dividing frequency there were thought over producer’s recommendations and frequency characteristics of the loudspeakers so that the dividing frequency was not set in the place where the loudspeaker does not have “constant” character. The third part concerns the construction of the loudspeaker case. There one can find more details about the construction of the loudspeaker system called D´Appolito and its constructional requirements. This part was kept to the previous parts because integrating “D´Appolito” needs setting the distance between the loudspeakers according to the dividing frequency. It was also necessary to count with their size. According to the loudspeakers parameters it was possible to calculate the capacity of the loudspeaker case, also its shape was said and geometric proportions were calculated. Then everything was simulated in suitable software. In the last part the complete loudspeaker system was measured in an anechoic room. There were the direction characteristics and frequency characteristics measured there. The results of the measuring were compared with the software simulations
