For many years the only set of parameters for loudspeaker box calculation was the classical lumped parameter model derived by Richard Small and published in 1972 (Thiele Small parameters).

Since the early 1990’s a group of Danish Engineers have been working with a model named “Advanced Parameter Model” that better models the complex electromagnetic interaction of the voice coil / magnet system. Scan-Speak adopted this model for some of its drivers and for these drivers you’ll have access to both the classical set of parameters and the advanced ones.

The spreadsheet links below lead to a toolbox that has been developed to work with both sets of parameters to allow you to simulate results using various box sizes.
