This is one of those rare, genius-type of guys you never really forget because not only is he TOO SMART, he is also extremely articulate, a very uncommon combination.
It is not genius to know, but it is genius to simultaneously know, share, do high quality content, and not looking like being smug about it. Very well!
Remarkable. This is stuff no books on enclosure design cover in terms of catagorizing the T/S parameters, and it makes you realize how complex and interrelated the mechanical aspects of a speaker are with the box in goes into, to put it simply. It would be great if HexiBase would write a book, or graduated course, on box design, speaker selection, and tuning - it would be fantastic. In terms of the videos, my only suggestion to HexiBase is this: being atuned (no pun intended) to music and audio (I'm a musician and engineer), the level of the background track tends to get in the way just a bit; A lower level would be nice. I've subscribed.
great video again. Adding it to my collection of "keep watching until it's engraved in my brain". I'm building the latest design I got from you and this is by far the heaviest I ever built. Cheers
Just stumbled upon your channel. As an system designer in the past...mainly highend car audio and some theatre systems.....I find your channel very refreshing ! I will be tuning in frequently.... My mind is now jello after trying to remember all the TS data....thanks for the refresher. 🙏🏼
Very informative, you’re underrated in my opinion. You should have a million view of each of your videos. Thank you for sharing this ‘digested’ information/knowledge!
Best explanation of parameters i've seen yet. Too bad most people aren't willing to learn fundamental info like this. This should be mandatory to learn for everyone who's interested in audio in general.
I was going to build a sealed enclosure but listening to your explanation stopped me, as my driver has an EBP of 120 so clearly not suitable. Thank you for making the complex accessible!
In 1994 Dr. Neville Thiele came to the Philippines to officially recognize the AES(Philippine Section). He gave a lecture on how he derived his equations. Less than halfway through his lecture, some participants left the lecture hall. When the Dr. had finished his lecture he asked us some feedback regarding his lecture. I told him that the math was to much for most participants and if he could have given a simpler lecture. Dr. Neville responded, I presented this paper in 1965 to the AES board.😂😅 We have an expression in the Audio Engineering Society " If you know what your talking about, talk to us in numbers."
These new videos of yours are incredibly well produced. Thank you very much for taking the time to make them. I wIll say I do miss your old build videos (i.e. from AZ) too though. You've definitely come a long way.
I've been watching you for years. I dont think people realize how much time is put into each video. It's cool to see you go from putting out good video's to becoming a master of your craft with easy to understand videos with excellent production value . Thanks for taking the time to make this. By the way you should bring back super Steve!
Honestly this is an EXTREMELY important video. If you are new, and reading this comment, do yourself a favor and bookmark this video. This is the core of loudspeaker alignment. I'm excited to see the next set of videos. Pete, will you be going a vlog on transfer function? Its important for newer hobbyist know that a predicted response is essentially in a infinite space with no interactions.
I've been building my own speakers since 1998 (I was 14. Wanted 'good' speakers but couldn't afford them). And since 1998 this is the clearest, easiest to understand explanation of TS parameters I've seen. I even learnt a few things I didn't know... Keep up the quality content dude!
Very nice video. It's a lot of info, but with the miracle of pausing and rewatching, an excellent source for understanding these parameters. Thank you for the video, keep it up!
And just when I start to really get into sounds and speakers, great breakdown! I've been wanting to learn all these specifications! I'm starting to make my own speaker boxes at home and this is extremely helpful!!
This is an excellent video. So many parameters explained in way to understand terms. Vas is highly misunderstood. But what I don't understand is why subs with lower damping characteristics are more suitable for infinite baffle, where I would expect a driver with higher damping would be necessary, since there's no enclosure to provide any additional damping.
It may seem counterintuitive, but damping actually goes ***down*** ("Qb" goes up) when you you put a driver in a sealed enclosure. The larger the box size, the higher the driver's Qts needs to be to achieve a particular Qb, e.g. Qb=0.7. At infinite-baffle (i.e. box size=infinity), Qb is basically the same as the driver's Qts.
Hello sir I'm from India I request to you if it's possible than please make another channel with Hindi language for indian In india no one knows all about this things in detail and no videos available on RUclips in hindi language Sorry for my English hope you understand Thanks for great explanation about t s parameters 🤟
Thank you for making your videos. I've watched them all. I'm on your level but I'm self taught without mentor so it's rare I find someone that actually articulates a gain for my wisdom. I've learned more in 30 days from u then 12 years in school
You are absolutely brilliant ! This video is simply amazing. Everything's explained clearly. I've watched hundreds or thousands of similar videos. You are (by a huge margin) the best presenter with the best ability to explain complex concepts simply. Greetings from France
You saved me from making the wrong decision, been reading up on tsp, your video gave me a whole new perspective on tsp, really appreciate how you explained each parameter and their relation to each other, also would love to know which of these parameters and the formula for calculating enclosure volume and port area? Solid information, subbed.
Yes, you are correct, this should have been the first... But thank you for doing it! I have read and reread the definition of each TS over and over again and I STILL get confused sometimes.
The more I learn the more I appreciate my sub builder he’s almost done building 2 18 inch solo X motors on 15 inch frames modified with up to date parts. I like the BL of the solo x’s and thanks to you I think if I watch this video and the part 2 50 times each I may truly understand it all /;)
Most of this is waaaaay over my head. I do "get" the T/S basics. In 1978 my first T/S experience occurred. I purchased hifi speakers from Ohm Acoustics located (like me) in Brooklyn on Taaffe Pl. if I recall correctly. My model L speakers were said to utilize the T/S theory. Something to do with juggling the woofer, box (cabinet) size and "venting". All I know is that my 20X12X10" speakers played really freakin' loud (and clean) and were the equal of systems much larger, more expensive and heavier. With enough output to impress if not annoy the neighbors. In my tiny ($95 a month) studio apartment space was a premium. I think Ohm Acoustics and Electro-Voice were among the first companies to take advantage of this theory. I've had these Ohm L's forty one years and still find them very satisfying, excellent reproducers of sound. Just my un-technical view.
Man, I wish you were my twin brother and I was considered the smarter one of us! Short of that, I’ll watch your awesome videos. Great presentations! Thanks for posting them!
"Just as a pendulum swings back and forth at a particular rate depending on its weight and fulcrum point" Not quite. The period T of a simple pendulum is expressed by (where g is the acceleration due to gravity, and L is the length of the pendulum): T = 2π√(L/g) Intuitively it feels like the mass of the pendulum should matter, but it doesn't until you start worrying about the aerodynamic properties of the pendulum, or the friction at the pivot point. edit: Great video though. I love your content. Thanks for making such great educational videos.
@@HexiBase Yeah I understand. A spring-block system is a more representative analogy, but that's not as approachable for someone without a physics background. I also can't think of a good everyday example that seems as intuitively correct as what you said. It just surprised me to hear you reinforcing a common but incorrect assumption :)
Is the fs similar to water in wine glasses where a musician drags there finger on the rim and depending on how much water is in the glass the pitch changes?
Too critical. The analogy is close enough and represents a good visual picture of the concept. I appreciate and complement your choice of this illustration.
@@HexiBase I was going to bring up the same point but I still think you’re brilliant and I would love to hear you review the speaker design ideas described in speakerevolution.com
Ive watched this a couple of times just to understand and look for the data of my driver for my homemade bluetoothspeaker (extra all) and I´m..........pretty (almost)(eventually)(perhaps) sure I´m in the ballpark :) Thanks alot for sharing your knowlegde.
The speaker with the iron base gives the song of the iron so if we change the base to something else that makes the sound different from iron like plastic we will have plastic tapping or like a kind of budon it is as if we are practicing tap the budon.
Thank you so much for imparting this knowledge. I appreciate how direct you are; but also as a new student, I wonder... could you slow your pace of speaking 15%? it's a lot of rapid information to absorb... but thank you none the less, I'll keep replaying till it sticks!
I love this video yet every time I go to watch or listen to it again I just can't. Whatever that high pitch beep is that goes off through the whole video is like nails on a chalkboard to me!
For most big and serious transducer manufactures Le is usually given at 1kHz for low frequency transducers! There isn't much use to give the Le spec at 10kHz if the transducer isn't gonna be working anywhere near that range.
Appreciate your vlogs - good, concise info. Would really like a video workshop on how to take T/S and design a 4th, 6th and 8th using one or two of some subs you have. Doesn't need to be a literal build - just a workflow. * Which software you can use / is there manual math? * Ideals to aim for. * Caveats to look out for.
Even with the speed talking and cramming going on, this video was a bit better than many others I've watched regarding T/S parameters. The way I look at it is that if the presenter has a good understanding of the subject, they can make more sense out of it. I am still waiting for someone to explain the nuts and bolts of T/S and how they come into play for a speaker box builder, especially bass boxes. A kinda like "on the job" training sort a thing. Example would be to build a test enclosure where you can adjust the volume size, port size, etc. Get a variety of drivers, mount one up, then using it's specs, try to adjust the cab so it performs it's best. Repeat with other drivers of different specs to see what changes between them. Stuff like that.
Okay so I thought I knew my stuff when it comes to speakers,I’ve been installing for most of my adult life but this guy makes me feel dumb! Great information!! Thank you!!
Great video. BTW, Le is usually measured at 1kHz for woofers. In any case, it's not really constant, and can vary significantly. Box modeling software that takes this into consideration can produce more accurate simulations.
I would object a little to the Le issue - if one has enough voltage swing from the amplifier, it is not particularly problem for a subwoofer to about 130-150Hz. Other than that, flawless!
Love Hexi videos Great content, lessons, graphs, charts, visual aides, explanations 20 different sub categories / theories = mind blown How does one use all 20 to decide on a speaker or enclosure..???
Great presentation of interesting content!! Wish you had time to go into more detail on each parameter. Looking forward to part two. Definite subscriber here. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
i built my own woofer driver, tested it , it was good and i felt so proud. but i missed very big thing. it's that physics .i did not calculate any of them, i just experimented. now i'm gonna feel down until i completely understand all this......
Can you explain some of the effects of Qes on power requirements, accuracy, and other behavior, maybe in part 2? Also, all of your videos are awesome, you've helped me really understand some of these topics.
Quick note (perhaps pedantic, and not of consequence to speaker design): A pendulum's frequency doesn't depend on it's mass/weight. It's just the length of the arm (and the strength of specific gravity - slower on the moon, faster on jupiter).
YES! I've been on a quest to understand these parameters lately. I'm an electrical engineer so the math should'nt be hard, but it isn't intuitive. Well I haven't found a good, yet simplified explanation of this. Great video! Please go into more detail about each parameter and what changed to these parameters mean on enclosure, and sound tradeoffs. Ex: I want the best SQ 10" sub. But I also wasn't low end extension without willing to go ported. I want to understand the ts parameters enough to know the trade offs. So far my choice (without any regard to cost) would be a JL 10W7AE in their sealed box. Cost = $1k.
Great!!! I just wssted 9 minutes and 2 seconds of my life... Now I'm going to have to spend at least 45 minutes and 10 seconds more because its going to take at least 5 more times watching this just to figure out what the hell he was talking about.
Sure is a mouthful of information. I remember the days when I was just starting out building speaker systems and I would just pick whatever woofer fit in the hole (or I would cut my own hole), and however it came out sounding, I was ok with that. No design at all, just cut the holes and either wire it up with either simple caps and coils or buy a ready made generic 3 way 700 Hz / 5 Khz crossover. Later on as I got better, I made a dual 15" woofer 3 way tower system but the coils were for 300 Hz. Very nice sound considering the drivers were fairly cheap (Radio Shack 15" woofers) and Radios shack choke coils. The midranges and tweeters were old "Speakerlab" branded ones.
This is one of those rare, genius-type of guys you never really forget because not only is he TOO SMART, he is also extremely articulate, a very uncommon combination.
It is not genius to know, but it is genius to simultaneously know, share, do high quality content, and not looking like being smug about it. Very well!
Also often vary wrong
Me spell good. Vary = very
Wouldnt say being smart and articulate is a very uncommon combination if anything they are proportional and correlated
@@EvolveGaming98 I wouldn't say your grammar and punctuation was very uncommon either.
Nothing like feeling as if you're back in class. At least it's for something I'm extremely interested in. Great content!

Now I'm going to have to spend at least 45 minutes and 10 seconds more because its going to take at least 5 more times watching this just to figure out what the hell he was talking about.
Nicely done Pete! You nailed this one.
Sure is a mouthful of information. I remember the days when I was just starting out building speaker systems and I would just pick whatever woofer fit in the hole (or I would cut my own hole), and however it came out sounding, I was ok with that. No design at all, just cut the holes and either wire it up with either simple caps and coils or buy a ready made generic 3 way 700 Hz / 5 Khz crossover. Later on as I got better, I made a dual 15" woofer 3 way tower system but the coils were for 300 Hz. Very nice sound considering the drivers were fairly cheap (Radio Shack 15" woofers) and Radios shack choke coils. The midranges and tweeters were old "Speakerlab" branded ones.
Damn this was an amazing video. Thanks
