TLS Guy uses it, but as he confessed to me, he fully understands its limitations and knows how to compensate for them. Bass Box Pro is far easier to learn, but since Bass Box Pro skips a lot of important details you really need to know what you are doing when it comes to loudspeaker design. It is a complete suite (including testing for loudspeakers and drivers) and it does everything you want and more. I don't think much of BassBox Pro and X-Over Pro as a useful software package and you probably can't afford LEAP5.įor that kind of money I would consider SoundEasy v17. Thanks in advance, for any insight on this. Will Bass Box Pro do this better than WinISD? Ideally, I'd like to have a box design that produces good extension (I'm not looking for 20Hz and it's not needed) has baffle step compensation, the best crossover for the application (WRT Linkwitz-Reilly, or ?) and an impedance compensation network, as needed. He's using an Audio Research power amp and it has 4, 8 and 16 Ohm taps, so the impedance won't be a problem. I would like to build a pair for a customer, using two of the 830874 and one Peerless BC25SG15-04 in each box, with the woofers wired parallel. WinISD shows a similar box volume to what Mark (TLSguy) shows in his NASP design, using the Peerless 830874 woofer ( ). I'm just trying to find out what works well without having to waste time trying something and finding out it's not what I want/need after the fact. I want to be able to do baffle step compensation, Zobel, smoothing networks and L-Pad. I want to be able to design 2, 2.5 and 3 way systems, with more than just a 2 component 2nd order filter (what I'm able to do in WinISD). What are the pros/cons of the better versions, Bass Box Pro and other popular software packages? Just about everyone I ask has a different opinion and I see some here who swear by what they use. I have the free version of WinISD and it's limited in its abilities.
