Abstract :
In specifying loudspeakers for use in a sound system, the designer can simply list acceptable manufacturers´ type numbers, or he can attempt to write appropriate performance specifications. Either approach is made difficult by the general unavailability of adequate information on characteristics of commercial loudspeakers. The most important characteristics are discussed, with emphasis on directional properties and methods of measuring them.
