Asymmetrical Response Pattern Estimator

Back to FRD Consortium

The Asymmetrical Response Pattern Estimator is design estimation tool to predict On and Off-Axis Response and Polar Radiation Patterns, in multiple driver systems, from Driver Size/Shape, Inter Driver Spacing/Tilt and Crossover Influences. It is used to see complex driver interactions in Horizontal and Vertical Polar Patterns and in a conical projection, Off-Axis Frequency Response. It also permits simple comparisons, by enabling and disabling a feature or physical influence with a single click, so it can be used to understand any position or size or filter effect separately or as a completely optimized design. Program simulates point source, circular piston and elongated ribbon shapes, in driver groups of up to three, with up to two groups or six drivers total. These simulations can include filters both Standard Minimum Phase and Linear Phase Crossovers up to 6th order. In addition up to three FRD file driver responses or target responses can be input, which includes many Transient Perfect designs and with limited Floor Bounce effects. Saves both a detailed and quick comparison polar chart and response graph as pictures in GIF format. It also saves resultant Frequency Responses in FRD File format and has load/save profile librarian capability.

ARPE Lite is a slightly simpler version of Asymmetrical Response Pattern Estimator. ARPE Lite produces identical results but is missing buttons to input FRD files, control/display phase, save chart images and is limited to three driver simulations only.
