Bass Reflex Alignments: Compliance Alteration
After discussing computation of discrete alignments such as B4, BL4, LR4, IB4, and CD4, this new article in the "Computation of Bass Reflex Alignments" article series explores the real-world situation where it becomes impossible to have a system design that exactly matches a certain driver Qt, normally described as an alignment error (or misalignment). The technique presented allows designers to modify tuning towards a desired target response function.
