For loudspeaker development engineers and serious DIY builders alike, this book series has long been regarded as a definitive reference—and now it is complete.
This series brings together the results of years of research by Tamon Saeki, widely known as “Mr. DIATONE,” who systematically organized the vast body of Japanese and international source material on loudspeakers that he had collected over many years. Four volumes have already been published, and this book serves as the final volume and concluding installment of the series.
Chapter 19, on dividing networks, presents detailed circuit examples from Japanese and overseas loudspeaker systems, with discussion of the components used in them.
Chapter 20, on enclosures, examines the evolution of enclosure forms, panel materials and fabrication techniques, as well as measurement methods used in the pursuit of effective bracing.
Chapter 21 introduces acoustic measurement techniques—an area that has traditionally remained largely undisclosed—covering their historical development, measurement equipment, anechoic chambers, and analysis methods. Chapter 22 includes a historical chronology of key figures and the loudspeakers they developed. Compared with the earlier volumes, this book contains an even greater number of previously unpublished materials.
