The SpeakerDES System - An Overview
-----------------------------------
SpeakerDES allows novice and experienced loudspeaker designers to quickly create custom
loudspeaker designs. It features a graphical user interface for ease of use and
mouse control for point-and-click simplicity.
SpeakerDES also features design tools that allow you to change most everything
from the loudspeaker's physical appearance to it's acoustic performance.
Working in a similar fashion to computerized drafting systems (CAD),
SpeakerDES allows you to decide what shape the loudspeaker cabinet is to take
as well as where the drivers (the raw speakers) should be placed in the cabinet.
SpeakerDES provides a standard driver database of almost 500 drivers and an
alternate user driver database for your own drivers. These databases allow
you to quickly select drivers for your designs or have the computer select
them based on the current design parameters. SpeakerDES also provides a
standard space spec database and an alternate space spec database which
supply you with space measurements, such as hatchback or trunk room. These
measurements can be used as guidelines for the maximum cabinet size.
Either closed or ported loudspeakers can be designed, depending upon the
application and choice of drivers.
To ensure an accurate enclosure volume measurement, SpeakerDES uses an
Overvolume Mode function to consider enclosure volume losses due to
construction material thickness.
SpeakerDES performs a detailed frequency response analysis of the
loudspeaker, giving you a graphical display of the loudspeaker's performance.
For comparison purposes, you can select two different brands of drivers and
analyze them at the same time. In addition, a real-time frequency response
analysis is performed during the design process. Changes in the
loudspeaker's performance are instantly displayed.
When drivers are pre-selected, SpeakerDES can calculate the Optimum
Volume for your enclosure based on your frequency response requirements.
To make interpreting the overall performance of loudspeaker designs much
simpler, an Advisor function provides a plain english interpretation of
possible problems and solutions concerning the loudspeaker's design.
A passive electronic crossover design function rounds out the loudspeaker
design process and gives you a truly custom loudspeaker.
SpeakerDES also provides a number of handy utility features. You can
save your designs for later use and print them to screen or printer.
Metric/imperial conversion, clock and screen saver functions are a useful
convenience.
To keep all the various design tools simple, an on-line help system is
available at the click of a button. Should the you be new to loudspeaker
design theory, there is a section of the manual devoted to basic concepts.
All these features and more are integrated into the powerful, yet easy to
use SpeakerDES.

The SpeakerDES Advantage
------------------------
SpeakerDES offers much more than just a number of powerful features.
It integrates them. Using a concept much like that of a workbench,
SpeakerDES makes sure all of your tools are close by and all work together
to produce the results you want.
SpeakerDES also puts to rest the notion that you have to possess years
of knowledge to create powerful and enjoyable loudspeakers. Even if you
only know what shape you enclosure is to take and how many drivers you want
mounted in the enclosure, SpeakerDES will take care of the rest.
Power, simplicity and versatility make SpeakerDES the software of choice
for the demanding home and car audio designer.
Limitations of the Unregistered version
---------------------------------------
The unregistered version of SpeakerDES version 1.2 you possess is
restricted to a 100 driver database containing a variety of brands available.
The driver specifications in the "Specifications" area are not editable.
You are permitted to use the drivers in the 100 driver database.
These two restrictions were selected to allow the would-be purchaser to
utilize SpeakerDES's many features without having a major function disabled.
Suffice to say, the 100 drivers will not provide the same degree of choice
as the registered version's almost 500 drivers, but will nontheless give
plenty variety for evaluation.
