Predicting the effect of changing baffle dimensions?

HeatMiser · 7th March 2006, 07:09 PM

Any way to do this with any hope of even the roughest accuracy?

I'm interested in adapting an existing TMWW design for a center channel (W T/M W) which would of course entail a drastic change in effective baffle width, from 8 inches or so to a couple of feet. Is there any useful method to predict the effects of this, short of measuring?

Thanks.

Google for "PVconsultants" & download the BDS simulator. A "before" and "after" simulation may be helpful.

Thanks Paul, will check it out.

I like The Edge, because it's easy to move things around and try different configurations. BDS is more accurate, feature rich, and more difficult to use.

Thanks Dan, I'll play with that too.
