Designing a speaker is more intricate than it seems. Even small adjustments can greatly affect sound performance. Achieving the desired audio quality requires careful consideration of numerous factors and meticulous fine-tuning.

As loudspeakers become increasingly compact, the challenge grows even more demanding. Designing and optimizing the various components of a transducer demands significant skill, extensive experience, and a deep understanding of acoustic principles. Only with this expertise can the complexities of modern micro-loudspeaker design be successfully navigated to achieve superior sound quality.

This document describes the aspects in theory used for designing micro-loudspeakers.

A subsequent White Paper, titled “Designing Micro loudspeakers for Portable Devices Part II,” will be released soon, addressing how to effectively mitigate nonlinear issues.
