Phase Plug Support is the first software of the
audio transducers panorama permitting accurate annular
phase plug design of compression drivers with a dome membrane
assembly. PPS reduces time to market for compression drivers,
with this tool is possible to design products with
several slots and various phase plug expansions as Catenoid, Exponential, Cosh, Sinh, Conic.
The software
offers the opportunity to set mechanical
and acoustical parameters as dome and rings geometry,
frequency cut-off (minimum step= 1 Hz), axis samples number, flare constant,
driver exit OD, phase plug length, compression ratio,
environment temperature and humidity (average
working temperature and humidity of the compression
driver internal path. These information are
important in horn design and in the phase plug path are
the keys to obtain a high-quality final
result of expected low frequency response). PPS
displays the half section of phase plug
progression in which is possible to
edit every points position, keeping the equations
established in advance by the expansion,
to create any required phase plug shape. PPS
automatically generates
a database where records all routed designs
and from where it is possible to recall designs. The saved
files are 2D x,y points, ready to import into your CAD
software to create the mechanical parts of your compression
driver.
