SOUNDEASY模拟的箱体类型，其实还是不如LEAP5的多，因为LEAP5可以自由组合箱体！不过LEAP在模拟U/H型偶极时好象有点问题。

SPEAK可模拟的箱体类型也不少，呵呵

个人还是觉得LEAP5的组合型或者是LSPCAD6.3的等效电路组合型的更有发展空间，呵呵

对于gedleellc SPEAK V2.5.116来说箱体类是多,但太过单向性,综合分析功能较差,单纯箱体运算!

Soundeasy之功能强大=LEAP+LSPCAD,无响+FEM环境仿真功能是它一大特色,对柱波因素影响有很大推导作用,在分频器等效电路设计同样出色包含各种电路形态运算,功率分析,单元线性分析,极性分析,综合分析功能特强特多,在一个软件中全部完成,支持多种测声LMS,CLIO,DAAS,MLSSA,数据输入.------------值得学好此软件!

SPEAk

In today's demanding environment for loudspeaker designs, designing for a flat axial response is simply not enough. It is now widely accepted that one must consider the directivity/power response of the system and in this class Speak has no rivals.

Speak is a high performance loudspeaker modeling package aimed at the knowledgeable designer of loudspeaker systems. Even though Speak is a highly sophisticated software application, its ease of use makes it a highly effective education tool for the more novice practitioner. Coupled with GedLee's Audio Transducers text one can go from novice to expert in a relatively short period of time.

Features of Speak :

	Premium software at a value price - only $299.95
	Includes a copy of Audio Transducers ($275.00 without book)
	Hard copy of the manual.
	Polar map - the ideal way to visualize polar data
	Inductance model using Dr. M. Leach's two parameter model.
	Waveguide models - with flare capability.
	Motor designer and analyzer.
	Polar Response - unlike other simulations Speak has an accurate polar response modeling capability. Polar responses can be viewed for individual drivers or complete systems, thus allowing an analysis of the polar response effect of the crossover, for example.
	Multiple plots - SPL, cone excursion, impedance, voltage, current, true power and polar response. All adjustable scales, linear and log.
	Multiple driver capability - with active and passive crossovers and polar radiation effects from non-coincident drivers Speak is unexcelled in its capability to model the entire loudspeaker system
	Array capability - In addition to its five individual drivers of arbitrary size and baffle location an array capability is included. Virtually any number of source distributions are possible through Speak's unique array module. Individual drivers can be arrayed into a single system or entire systems can be arrayed.
	Global drivers database of over 1400 drivers from nearly every manufacturer. (Get this database from Downloads page. Use Databases /Download External Data/Drivers to load these new drivers into your current Drivers database.)
	Acoustic Lever™ simulation - The only analysis program available with this capability. Speak comes with a license to make this enclosure design for your personal use.
	Distortion - with a knowledge of the changes of the fundamental parameters such as Bl, etc. with cone position Speak can predict the radiated second and third harmonics for any enclosure design or system design.
	Waveguide (Horn) modeling - Waveguides can be model with an accuracy not found in any other program. Using a proprietary modeling approach based on Dr. Geddes unique insights into waveguide theory - this capability is unique. GedLee will also produce custom waveguides as modeled in SPEAK.
	Driver designer designs the driver for you. Voice coil size, power handling, X-max, coil wire and turns, even magnet design.

挺实惠的,还含测试!

I'm currently thinking about buying one of the speaker packages around, and SoundEasy or LspCad standard seems to be the best alternatives that is reasonably priced.

Is SoundEasy really worth the extra $$$? In LspCad you have JustMLS, do SoundEasy have somethink like that, or if not; what measurement programs are compatible? I have access to ETF 5.

I also think that LspCad Pro's ability to draw polarplots is very useful, do SoundEasy have something like it?

I hope that you have answers to my questions :)

If you are an EE and know a lot about loudspeaker/crossover construction you will feel at home with Sound Easy. Very powerful but not intuitive.
If you are a beginer to intermediate loudspeaker builder and would like to learn more about crossovers, get immediate feedback on "what if..." scenarios and roll your own crossovers the first week, get lspCAD. Both of them will give you the same results given the same input.
Sound Easy seem to have more input fields though.

I use lspCAD pro and grew to love certain features of the program that are unique to it.
For one, the structure of the program allows you to see how changing one parameter affects multiple aspects of the design. This is a priceless feature for guys who like to experiment. For example, you have the "combined frequency response", "polar pattern", "individual phase response" windows open at the same time and tiled on your desktop.
You skip through crossover components values using your arrow keys (another priceless feature) and see immediatetely what happens to all the graphs. You can't do that in Sound Easy. There you have to generate graphs in succession. Not as intuitive to work with.

A new version of lspCAD is coming. It will keep all the cool features of the current version and add a few others that Sound Easy don't have.
My advice would be get lspCAD now, learn it, and upgrade when ver. 6 is out.

Leap is like $1500.00 for both enclosure and crossover designer. Each one is $800.00 separatly.

As to vertical polar plots, you are right. I didn't realize that the vertical polar plot graphs are not a part of the standard lspCAD. I only used the pro version and was under the impression that except for emulator and certain utilitarian functions (i.e. E12 or E24 snap) they are identical. It turns out that a few functions that I like a lot are only in the pro version.
Yes, it is expensive. $500.00 is a lot for a tool that doesn't make you money. That's why it's called pro, I guess.

SE does offer a lot for $200.00. You get the emulator (but only for a few supported sound cards- lspCAD pro works with any card that works within Windows).
If the emulator is important to you then the lspCAD pro is again ahead of the rest. You can tweak your crossovers while playing your music through the emulator, or switch between multiple crossover versions that you saved in advance. Nothing like hearing two settings back to back without stopping the music.

Did you try the Filter Maker and Digital Player from FRD Consortium? If those work for you, then you could get most of the functionality of lspCAD pro out of the standard version. I know that one of the reasons you are looking for a software package is the fact that you do the whole thing in one application as opposed to a bunch of spreadsheets.
I guess you will have to get some more opinions.
