The Baffle module allows the design to specify the shape of the baffle and the driver positions to determine the effect of the baffle on the overall response. As indicated by the arrows on the Workflow Module, these tools should. The baffles are 1/8th inch thick and cause a maximum of diffraction. Real cabinet edges are usually at 90 degrees or rounded, which reduces the magnitude of the diffracted wave, since the wave does not immediately expand into 4 p space upon reaching the edge. Parallel surfaces encourage standing waves. Making a cabinet more angular, will minimize this drawback. The proportions of the box are important as well. Most people who are in to performance audio have probably heard the terms before, but if you don't really understand what they are or how they affect a speaker, this article is for you.
