REQ: Harris Technologies BassBox Pro

BassBox Pro™ is a state-of-the-art speaker enclosure design program. It is used around the world by professional and amateur speaker system designers to design worldclass speaker boxes. BassBox Pro is very versatile and can be used to design speakers for a wide variety of applications including home hi-fi, home theater, car, truck, van, pro sound reinforcement, recording studio monitors, stage monitors, PA, musical instruments, etc.

Box Design is as easy as 1-2-3
There are many ways to begin a speaker design with BassBox Pro, including the use of its innovative Design Wizard. In general, speaker design involves the following steps:


Enter the driver parameters such as Fs, Vas and Qts. BassBox Pro's driver database contains parameters for thousands of drivers.
Calculate the box volume and tuning. This is very easy with the program's helpful "Suggest" button. It will cause BassBox Pro to recommend a box that will produce a smooth bass response.
Evaluate the performance with the graphs. This can include the effects of the acoustical environment. For example, BassBox Pro can estimate the in-car response in the graphs to show how the speaker will sound to passengers inside a car.

Each box design can be saved and re-opened or re-used later. As many as ten different designs can be open at the same time. Box designs can also be duplicated so that driver or box information does not need to be re-entered.

Design Wizard
BassBox Pro includes a powerful Design Wizard to help new users quickly design a speaker. It can start with either the driver or the box and then it will walk you through BassBox Pro as it prompts you for information in an orderly progression. In this way it serves as a "smart" assistant to help you use the program.
