"I highly recommend this book to anyone entering the difficult but rewarding, area of speaker design. I found it a pleasure to read." Speaker Builder Review 1/99. 'Introduction to Loudspeaker Design' is written for hobbyists, students, technicians and engineers seeking an overview of the technology of loudspeakers. Starting with a brief history of audio developments the book begins by introducing the concepts of frequency, pitch and loudness and proceeds to develop the idea of a loudspeaker as a system. The book covers such topics as loudspeaker design tradeoffs, spatial loading, diffraction loss, cavity effect, crossover design, and enclosure construction. The author is a physicist/audio design engineer with over 20 years experience in the research and development of audio products. His WinSpeakerz® application is widely used throughout the audio industry as a tool for evaluating loudspeakers before they are built. Illustrated, 166 page paperback, copyright: 1998.

Not for the beginner
Tuesday, May 12, 2009
Vintage Stereo Nut from California  

The book is written for those who have already studied loud speaker design and have a good understanding of the principals. Many references are made which are not fully explained to the novice. Near the end a question and answer section makes this point very clear as students ask solutions to rather complicated problems, not simple basics. Great book if you wish to further your understanding, yet not one I recommend to start your journey into loud speaker design.

Michael from Port Orchard, Washington  

J.L. Murphy takes lots of the mystery out of speaker design. His explanations are first rate; the book is well organized; and rarely does he leave me in the dark.

I have a number of books on building speakers, but if that's what you're up to this book should be in your library in my opinion. Don't be afraid of this book because Murphy is a physicist. This book is written for non-scientists, and he breaks the concepts down very nicely.

Highly recommended.
