Thiele/Small

Thiele - Small parameters (TSP ) describe the behavior of a dynamic speaker near its resonant frequency. In this case, on the one hand the physical quantities characterizing a driven, damped harmonic oscillator shown in practically easy to handle units, on the other hand, parameters are included which describe the driving system ( the voice coil and magnet).

General

The Thiele - Small parameters are named after its two inventors: The Australian Albert Neville Thiele and Richard H. Small American introduced in 1951, the interaction between the speaker and its housing on theoretically sound foundations.

The Thiele - Small parameters

This record is for the calculation of loudspeaker cabinets necessary and sufficient. It is important to note that all transducers that do not work as driven mass -spring system, are not reasonably described by the Thiele - Small parameters (eg electrical and magnetostats, bending wave transducer ).
