Talk:Mid-range speaker

Qtc?
This article uses a term "Qtc" which is undefined and quite confusing. Can someone please correct this who knows what "Qtc" is?69.181.150.9 (talk) 22:25, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It stands for a calculation of the total resonance of the loudspeaker enclosure. Thanks for the question--it signals that somebody should edit the article and make sure that Qtc is explained. I don't think I have the term down cold enough to get it completely right, so I'll let somebody else do it. Binksternet (talk) 03:00, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Done. Added some info about Qtc and links to supporting articles. Qtc is the total Q (or resonance magnification) of a particular speaker driver in a box, and it is a function of the driver's Qts (resonance magnification at its free-air resonance frequency), the driver's Vas and the enclosure's volume Vb. For example, for a sealed enclosure, Qtc = Qts√(1 + (Vas / Vb))

It's gone anyway, since it was so poorly presented as to not be informative. Huw Powell (talk) 01:47, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Mid-range speaker → midrange speaker – Move to midrange speaker over redirect please, the word is not hyphenated in the industry or the article. Relisted. Jenks24 (talk) 06:13, 30 August 2012 (UTC) Huw Powell (talk) 01:43, 18 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Hum, I am looking at a google books search, and it seems to be 50/50 between "mid-range" and "midrange". --Enric Naval (talk) 22:56, 18 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm neutral on this one. I've seen both forms written each about half the time. It's hard for me to get excited one way or the other. Binksternet (talk) 23:08, 18 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment. Both orthographies are used in recent books. The argument of "not hyphenated in the industry" is not true. Binksternet (talk) 06:36, 30 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Oppose - Coming from the industry and being an electric engineer with some acoustic concentration I can't really like the move request. Both Google Scholar and Google Books give more results for "Mid-range speaker" as well. TheDarkLordSeth (talk) 04:40, 3 September 2012 (UTC)
