Forgive me if you said this already, but did you try negative feedback values? I wonder what that does to the aesthetics of the reverb. Stefan On Oct 1, 2017 16:24, "gm" wrote: > and here's the impulse response, large 4APs Early- > 3AP Loop > > its pretty smooth without tweaking anything manua

DSP programmer recently getting into transducer experimentation here. Gonna walk through the dimensional analysis: 1. Sound waves are a form of energy. Energy doesn't exchange directly with other units like voltage, velocity, momentum, etc, because those units are in different dimensions. 2.

� i know relatively little about transducers.� but these are getting to be pretty fundamental questions. Renato, we don't know exactly how much the digital value will translate to a precise loudspeaker piston displacement because there is an amplifier with a volume control in between the D/A

Fascinating thread! I find the “oar in the water” example to be very useful in visualizing the subject at hand. This reminds me of how difficult it is to get really good low frequency response: An oar moving very slowly simply will not move a boat at all. A loudspeaker with its cone fully exte

Most speaker/amp systems produce a high-pass filtered step response - i.e. an exponential decay curve - because there’s always at least one DC blocking capacitor between the DAC and the speaker. (Usually there are more.) DC-coupled systems exist, but they’re not common and they’re certainly not

tx for the infos and thoughts. I am getting the same difficulty when I look at texts in the subject. Making the question very objective, is anyone able to state very briefly if LPCM samples 1000, 5, 500, 70 will be converted by a loudspeaker into displacements proportional to such values or to pr
