Amplion - loudspeaker and enclosure simulations

I began working on this program years ago, back in 2010. Now, having just finished version 3, it occurred to me that sharing it here might be a good idea - especially since I use it regularly myself. Essentially, it’s a simple yet effective tool: while it only simulates SPL amplitude versus frequency, it’s straightforward, intuitive, and gives me exactly what I need when working with loudspeakers.

Some of the features:
  • A large loudspeaker database is included, mostly up to date. To add a new driver for simulation, only six parameters are required: Qms, Qes, fs, Mms, Dd/Sd, Re. The remaining parameters are calculated automatically. A small "=" symbol in the lower-right corner allows you to rename records.
  • The Up/Down arrow keys change the numeric value by +/-1. For fine-tuning, hold down the Shift or Ctrl key beforehand.
  • Double-clicking on the form expands or contracts the window; double-clicking on the graphs quickly redraws the response.
  • The Tools section contains several tools - such as TS parameters calculation, Resonance frequency variation, Added resistance to Re / Change in Mms, Air core inductor, etc.
  • Clicking the counter above the listbox displays a full parameter list.
  • You can simulate three types of enclosures: Closed, Vented, and 4th-order Bandpass. The Closed box type also includes a Linkwitz Transform tool.
  • The txt button in the header shows a list of the main parameters, ready to be copied into a file or onto a website.
  • Blue labels can be clicked - such as Bl to Mpow
  • On the Formulas page, you can see relationships between parameters and copy them into Excel.
You can download the program from Softpedia or directly from the audioweb.cz homepage, where an updated driver database file is available.

Some antivirus programs - including Windows Defender - may mistakenly flag it as suspicious. This is a false positive. To verify its safety, you can check its status using the VirusTotal API.
