DALI je to ovo ?
I hope that this example will illustrate the true power of DPC. I will use an old datasheet for Dynaudio 24W100 as an example. It comes with the following specs (2. February 1986):
Cms = 0.93 mm /N
Vas = 62 liter
Sd = 220 cm2
Here something goes "wrong" because this cannot be true with standard air properties. I can assume Cms = 0.918 = 0.92 mm/N and Vas = 63 liter. It becomes worse if you measure the cone, it is probably around 173 mm in diameter, so Sd = 235 is a better figure. Then if Cms = 0.93 you get Vas = 73 liter.
Mms = 30 g
fres = 32 Hz
Adding the Mms parameter gives you fres = 30 Hz, but if you follow the specified fres you get Mms = 26.6 g. Assuming fres = 31 Hz and Mms = 28.3 g is a compromize.
Bxl = 6.26 Tm
Re = 5.2 ohm
Qms = 1.6
When entering these I get Qe = 0.73 and Qt = 0.50. This is far from what the specs said:
Qes = 0.45
Qts = 0.35
Rms = 3.5 kg/s
I have Rms = 3.45, so that is reasonable. I tend not to believe the specifications from the old datasheet, DPC is much closer to a realistic value of Qe and Qt. By the way, the specs said that the sensitivity is 90 dB/W/m but DPC gets 87 dB/W/m. Mind you, the datasheet says that the Thiele/Small parameters are measured dynamically and not statically. I do not know what this implies, but it does not follow our Thiele/Small model and so it cannot be interpreted in a normal way.
I think this is a good illustration of how powerful DPC is. You enter some known parameters and DPC gives you the other parameters, based on the Thiele/Small model. It will locate any errors or possible misconceptions present in your datasheets. When you work with the Driver Parameter Calculator you can be 100% sure that the driver data is in compliance with the traditional Thiele/Small model.
