9 English Crossover Network Introduction It is common knowledge that the automotiv e inter ior is one of the most inhospitable environments f or high-fidelity sound, and that ev er y vehicle poses its own unique set of installation and acoustic challenges. While man y of these problems can often be o ver- come with proper speaker placement, equaliz[...]

Achieving the most phase coherent[...]

12 WF-LP: While functioning as a low-pass filter f or the woofer , this section also provides a wide degree of adjustments f or optimizing performance and system integration. Since it is often difficult to position the woof er and midrange close together or at equal distances, it is critical to achiev e phase linkage between them to av oid localiza[...]

13 English System T ype 1 • T ype-1B is f or such cases where pathlength is nearly the same to all drivers , but where the mount- ing surf ace orientation creates a unif or m but f air ly e xtreme off-axis listening angle. System Description With all three drivers mounted close together and equidistant to the listening position, this is surely th[...]

Rear[...]

16 System T ype 2 • T ype-2A takes into account that all drivers are mounted more or less flush to the panel on a mostly flat v er tical surf ace such as the door , thus present- ing varying degrees of both axis and distance of each driver to the listener . • T ype-2B is the same as abov e, but assumes the woof er somewhat f ar ther awa y than [...]

Located at a moderate vertical distance down from the tweeter and basi- cally flush to the panel, the mid[...]

This results in a more e xtreme woof er listening angle of ap- pro ximately 70 ° , with a delay of 28cm rela- tiv e to the mid. Subsequent[...]

19 English System T ype 3 • T ype-3A assumes that both the midrange and tweeter are mounted close together in the same plane, and theref ore relatively on-axis and equidistant to the listener . • T ype-3B takes into consideration that the tweeter and midrange are mounted basically flush to the panel with little or no build out. This results in [...]

21 English T ype-3B: Despite the fact that the midrange and tweeter are mounted in the same plane and in close proximity , their orientation re- sults in the acoustic center of the midrange being farther awa y . Therefore, the midr ange is considered to be 8.5cm farther than the tweeter , while the woof er is approximately 25cm closer than the midr[...]

La liaison de phase est accomplie par un filtre passe-haut 2 è me or- dre av ec coefficient Q faib le sur le tweeter , un filtre pas[...]

31 Fran ç ais T ype-1B : T andis que la configuration de montage est la m ê me que pour le T ype-1A, ce type de circuit fournit une variation pour les cas o ù les go û ts personnels, la position ou l ’ acoustique du v é hicule n é cessitent une plus grande sortie haute fr é quence depuis le haut-parleur m é dial et le tweeter .

32 T ype de syst è me 2 • T ype-2A suppose que tous les amplificateurs sont mont é s au m ê me niv eau que le tableau de bord sur une surf ace essentiellement plane et v er ticale telle que la por te, ce qui implique diff é rents degr é s à la f ois d ’ axe et de distance entre chaque amplifica- teur et la personne qui é coute. • T ype[...]

33 Fran ç ais T ype-2A : Dans ce cas, pour le tweeter , la longueur du chemin depuis la position d ’é coute est de 85cm, à environ 15-20 ° en dehors de l ’ axe principal. Situ é à une dis- tance verticale mod é r é e en dessous du tweeter et sur le m ê me plan que le tableau de bord, le haut-par leur m é dial est 8,5 cm plus loin et p[...]

34 T ype-2B : La position du tweeter et du haut- parleur m é dial est la m ê me que dans le T ype-2A, mais le woof er est situ é plus loin vers l ’ av ant.

35 Fran ç ais Description du syst è me Bien que le haut-parleur m é dial et le tweeter soient mont é s proches l ’ un de l ’ autre dans ce cas, les contraintes d ’ espace, l ’ esth é tique et l ’ aspect pratique requi è rent que le w oofer soit mont é s é par é ment.

37 Fran ç ais T ype-3B : Malgr é le f ait que le haut-parleur m é dial et le tweeter soient mont é s sur le m ê me plan et à proximit é l ’ un de l ’ autre, leur orientation fait que le centre acoustique du haut-parleur m é dial est plus loin.
