The official open source project page for K Speaker Design Workshop

Project description

The target for the project is to create a free GPL open source speaker design suite which includes everything from design to measurements and box simulations, crossover simulations (both active and passive) and accurate horn and waveguide modelling.

Speaker workshop, K Speaker Design Workshop etc. are just temporary project names. A better name should be invented. Please email your suggestions to the project maintainer usign the contact form.

To see the most recent GPL license, please click here. The terms and conditions described in the GPL license do apply to this project.

Trolltech has an additional license for Qt and it is called QPL.

The aim is to compete with the most sophisticated commercial loudspeaker softwares. To help us to reach the aim, you are very welcome to join the project if you have something to contribute. Because of the power of open source, I (Karoliina) as the project founder, believe that the aimed goal is possible in the long term.

The aim is not to be just only yet another bass box calculator, but a complete design suite that does everything in professional accuracy and detail that is necessirity for professional speaker designer and very useful for hobbyists too.
