Question Effective acoustic center redefined

I'm hoping that someone has a copy of this they could kindly upload somewhere so i can download it.

W. James Trott - effective acoustic center redefined

I've managed to track it down to here

Sounds like it could be very interesting

Thanks in advance

If there is a fee to download the paper, then putting it a free share site would not be approved by this forum.

There is only one definition of acoustic center. It is in D`Appolitos book.

It is the delay that causes the excess group delay to be flat.

There is an easy way to get this for free. Go to a technical library and photocopy it

I agree. In practice interdriver delay ('acoustic centre' offset and displacement on the baffle), driver and crossover phase response become inseperable. They should all be designed together to meet the flat group delay requirement.

I understand what you are trying to say here but it is said poorly. Excess GD (GD associated with excess phase) will always be flat since it is associated with an physical offset or constant propagation distance.

Better stated as the point along the driver axis relative to which the phase reduces to minimum phase.

But in truth it is pretty academic and there is no need to try to find the AC of a driver.

Other ways to say it: The delay for which the measured phase equals the Hilbert transform phase, or the delay for which the excess phase is zero.
