Hi all,
What is the best method to calculate baffle step, and to design baffle step compensation? I'm working on 2 designs: One with 2 Peerless HDS 6,5" in a MTM configuration, and one with HDS 5" in a MTM configuration. The tweeter in both designs are SS 9500.
Thanks!
All the best,
Henrik

ESP has an article that describes it well
It includes a formula.
True Audio also has a helpful article with formulas
You may also find Baffle diffraction simulator or crossover simulator (which includes bafflestep) at the FRD consortium to be very helpful.

I'm a rookie speaker-designer, and applications like that are perfect, i.e. not complicated , for my level of understanding. How do I make a calculation for designs with 2 woofers?

Increase the "# of speakers" to 2
Hi Svante,
I can see that you can do that, but the application places the second driver in the corner of the baffle, and I have no way of specifying the exact location. To my understanding, because of that, the calculations are not correct. Is there any trick I'm unaware of?

If you have Excel 2000 and you want sonmething a little more feature rich, try:

Another way to get baffle step compensation is to use a 2.5 way design. This is basically a tweeter and a midbass with a woofer added which rolls off the midrange with, say a first order filter at 200 Hz. Some prefer this to an MTM with BSC. This has often been discussed on this forum.
